The 2022 Infiniti QX50 remains part of the second-gen model unveiled in 2017. The QX50 is loaded with plenty of high-tech luxury and safety features for the price, and it keeps other five-seat luxury crossovers like the Audi Q5, Volvo XC60, Mercedes-Benz GLC, and Acura RDX on their toes by offering a lot of bang-for-the-buck.
2022 Infiniti QX50: What’s New?
There are no significant aesthetic or mechanical changes to the 2022 Infiniti QX50. However, there are higher base prices across the board in favor of more standard equipment. Infiniti’s ProPilot Assist advanced driving aids are standard on all trim levels of the 2022 QX50. The package includes speed limit assist, intelligent cruise control, blind-spot warning, lane departure warning, forward emergency braking, forward collision warning, and rear cross-traffic alert.
In addition, other standard goodies include wireless Apple CarPlay (and wired Android Auto), USB-C charge ports for rear passengers, LED welcome lights on the rear door handles, a rear door-activated intelligent key, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.
Engine & Powertrain
Powering the 2022 Infiniti QX50 is Nissan’s 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine with variable compression technology. It pumps out 268 horsepower and 280 lb-ft. of torque while returning an EPA-rated 26 mpg in the combined cycle. Power goes to the front wheels via an Xtronic continuously variable transmission (CVT) with paddle shifters. Still, Infiniti’s intelligent all-wheel-drive remains optional for an additional $2,000 above the base price.
