When it comes to luxury compact sports utility vehicles, given how fiercely competitive the market is, it is essential that they bring to the table originality, versatility, comfort and an exceptionally dynamic driving experience. Well, the all-new 2023 QX50 promises all of this and more, including a remarkably powerful powertrain that offers various compression levels and not only contributes to better performance, but also greater fuel efficiency… the only variable compression engine in this category, by the way.
A unique design for the QX50
Having taken advantage of notable changes for 2022, the all-new 2023 Infiniti QX50 offers, for this model-year, new colors as well as new rim options. Boasting a mesh grille –the brand’s true signature-, new angular headlights and a sportier bumper, this Infiniti SUV maintains its harmonious style that is devilishly sexy.
What we know about the performance it offers
Why change a winning recipe when it already works wonders? This is why, under the QX50 hood, you will find the famous variable compression engine. Here are the specs:

An interior that will exceed your expectations
The first impression we get when entering the QX50 interior is one of awe, as much for the generous dimensions it offers as for the unique design of the asymmetrical dashboard, and the divine comfort of the seats, which are either faux-leather or semi-aniline leather upholstered. The different layouts and color options, the refinement of the materials and how all of that fits together to offer you an inviting, warm, spacious and superb interior can only be referred to as mastery, and will simply take your breath away.
That is not all, as the QX50 will also spoil you with a very generous amount of space as much for passengers as for cargo. Here are the numbers:
