Infiniti QX50’s history is a decade and a half old. It started with coupe-like rear styling. Currently, QX50 possesses a crossover car body style<\/a> with a sleek exterior and comfortable interior. Infiniti designed the crossover similar to a station wagon and didn\u2019t feature a rugged SUV look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s walk back to the start of the Infiniti QX50 and how it has evolved since its inception in 2007. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Infiniti had a reputation for designing sports and luxury cars. Coming into the crossover segment, Infiniti combined its expertise in producing SUVs and sports cars to build its first-ever crossover, EX35 and EX37.<\/p>\n\n\n\n EX35 and EX37 boasted 3.5 and 3.7-litre V6 engines<\/a> producing 297 and 320 hp and mated with five and seven-speed automatic transmissions, respectively. Moreover, both the Infiniti EX models came with rear-wheel and all-wheel drive options<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the front, the crossover featured headlights similar to the Infiniti G35 sedan, and the hood was longer to provide a sporty appearance. The rear fascia looked like a hatchback from some views and included sleek lines to enhance the aerodynamics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the interior, the Infiniti EX model has leather seats with premium stitching. The interior could seat four adults comfortably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After rebadging its entire lineup, EX got a new name, Infiniti QX50. Continuing its commanding position in Infiniti history<\/a>, the QX50 came with the following engine lineup paired with all-wheel drive and 7-speed automatic transmission:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Infiniti QX50 models featured the iconic car front grille<\/a> with a logo in between. Plus, the rear fascia gave a station wagon appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the first time in the Infiniti QX50\u2019s history, the crossover came with many technological features and inevitable comfort. Power-heated leather seats, leather-wrapped armrests, cup holders, voice control and connectivity features, such as Bluetooth, enhanced the user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Power seats had memory settings. Alongside, the crossover also featured an intelligent braking assist (IBA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Infiniti refreshed the QX50\u2019s design in its facelift launched in 2016. The wheelbase<\/a> was increased by 88 millimetres. Additionally, the overall vehicle length increased by 115 millimetres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Facelifted Infiniti QX50 models included the same 3.7-litre V6 engine. Meanwhile, the 2.5-litre V6 engine was discontinued. The front fascia was lower than the predecessors, and the interior had more head and legroom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2018, Infiniti introduced the second-generation QX50 for the 2019 model year. It featured a more dynamic and sporty appearance with the same powerful performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Inside the hood, a new 2.0-litre engine paired with the continuously variable transmission<\/a> was installed for the first time in the history of the Infiniti QX50. It boasted 268 horsepower and was available in rear-wheel or all-wheel drive options. Plus, it was a revolutionary change as the crossover featured a variable compression (VC) engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The exterior was sportier and sleeker as the rear fascia featured a car spoiler. At the front, a 3D-meshed car grille enhanced the crossover\u2019s appearance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Moreover, Infiniti QX80 models featured i-LED adaptive headlights<\/a> that changed the direction as the driver steered the car left or right. Taillights also got a refreshed design, and new alloy wheels were light and reduced the vehicle\u2019s curb weight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The interior included hand-stitched leather seats with diamond stitches. Besides, the latest infotainment system was more user-friendly since it featured easy navigation and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Infiniti launched the refreshed QX50 for the 2021 model year. Its design gave a compact SUV appearance. Moreover, design and technology improvements enhanced the overall appearance and driving experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Featuring the same 2.0-litre engine, the all-new 2022 Infiniti QX50 focuses on driver-centric systems and technology. The QX50 models have a digital instrument cluster alongside two touchscreens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n While the car offers a powerful road drive, it also saves fuel with cutting-edge technology used in the engine and reduced weight. The new headlight design with LED daytime running lamps<\/a> is also among the intriguing features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That was a revisit to the Infiniti QX50’s history and its evolution with modern technology and features. Plus, it\u2019s an interesting fact about Infiniti<\/a> that its car models became part of movies and tv-series. Among these car models, Infiniti QX50 was on the screens in the \u2018Avengers: Infinity War\u2019<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the crossover\u2019s history has caught your attention, you can add it to your car collection by exploring the used Infiniti QX50s for sale in the UAE<\/a>.
