2020 QX50 Edition 30
As INFINITI prepares to celebrate its 30th anniversary in November, much has changed in the world and the automotive landscape. At launch in 1989, INFINITI stood out as a brand that does not follow the conventional luxury pack – celebrating its position as a customer-centric alternative with beautiful design, world's first technologies and breakthrough customer service initiatives at its core.
Entering the 2020 model year, INFINITI continues its commitment to embracing innovation and pushing the limits of what's possible in product design, innovative technologies and customer care. Looking further ahead into its fourth decade, INFINITI is redefining its product designs, technologies and customer experience for an electrified future.
More information regarding the celebration of the first 30 years – and the continuing brand and customer journey will be forthcoming. In the meantime, please enjoy this preliminary look at What's New for the 2020 INFINITI lineup.
2020 INFINITI QX50 – Available fall 2019
With an all-new QX50 design introduced for the 2019 model year – including world-first technologies, standout design, an enhanced interior space and an entirely new platform – the QX50 instantly became a strong contender in the luxury mid-size crossover segment, including a 50 percent sales increase in calendar year 2018.
The QX50 also received a 5-star overall rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, as well as being named a 2019 Consumer Guide "Best Buy" in the Premium Compact Crossover category.
For 2020, QX50 enhances its high level of versatility, efficiency and performance with the addition of two new grade levels at the top of the lineup – the QX50 AUTOGRAPH and QX50 SENSORY. Also for 2020, a number of safety, security and driver assistance features become standard on all grade levels, including Lane Departure Warning, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Automatic Braking, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and High Beam Assist. Also added to all grades are a new IT system and several new or revised option packages.
The QX50's advanced 2.0-liter VC-Turbo engine, a breakthrough in combustion engine design, adjusts its compression ratio to optimize power and efficiency. It combines the power of a high-output 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine with the torque and efficiency of a four-cylinder diesel engine. The engine delivers 268 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque, along with fuel economy rated at 27mpg combined for front-wheel drive and 26 mpg combined for all-wheel drive models.
The 2020 QX50 is now offered in five well-equipped models – QX50 PURE, QX50 LUXE, QX50 ESSENTIAL, QX50 SENSORY and QX50 AUTOGRAPH – each in a choice of front-wheel drive or Intelligent All-Wheel Drive.
