Every car is an argument about what matters, and the Infiniti QX50 makes its case with Petrol engine and 235-320 hp. Infiniti built from 2007 to 2025 — in the decade of stability control, dual-clutch gearboxes and the first serious hybrids. The shape is credited to Tadayoshi Iida (2004, 2005).
The story
The Infiniti QX50, formerly the Infiniti EX until 2013, is a crossover SUV marketed by Infiniti, Nissan's luxury division between 2007 and 2025. It was produced over two generations: one generation under both EX and QX50 nameplates, and the second generation under the QX50 nameplate.
The first generation model was also marketed as the Nissan Skyline Crossover in Japan. The first generation QX50 was a minor model update of the EX with its nameplate changed to QX50 to align with the marque's new Q and QX nomenclature introduced for model year 2013 (China) and model year 2015 (United States). The second-generation QX50 entered production in November 2017 as a 2019 model.
What is underneath
The engine is Petrol engine; the output is 235-320 hp; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. Drive goes through a 7-speed automatic (Manual Shift-ability). The wheelbase is 110.2-113.4 in. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Its place in the line
In the Infiniti line-up the Infiniti QX50 has a clear place: the factory was Kaminokawa, Tochigi (Nissan Tochigi Plant), Japan. The cars a buyer would have weighed it against include the British Motor Corporation MG 7, the Tatra 810, the Suzuki Equator. Nearby in the Infiniti catalogue sit the Ex35 and the Fx35.
Owning one today
Buying one now means $12,900–$49,100 for a typical example, and running it — fuel and maintenance at its age — costs about $3,374–$6,744 a year. Insurance sits around $1,430–$2,930 a year. The figures are class-level estimates from the federal record, with the formula on the methodology page; the model-year pages carry complaints, recalls and repair costs year by year.
