2024 Infiniti QX50 small SUV costs $550 more to $42,045

The 2024 Infiniti QX50 small crossover SUV gets a big price bump with no real changes for the 2024 model year. The smallest crossover in Nissan’s luxury brand now costs $42,045, including a destination fee of $1,195, Infiniti announced Wednesday. 

That’s $550 more than the 2023 Infiniti QX50 for the base Pure model. It’s still at least $2,000 less than luxury rivals such as the Audi Q5 and BMW X3, yet about $2,000 more than direct rivals such as the 2024 Lincoln Corsair ($40,125) and 2024 Lexus NX ($40,205). 

Infiniti loads it with good standard features to offset the relatively higher price. It comes with synthetic leather upholstery, power front seats, 19-inch alloy wheels, remote start, heated outside mirrors, a wireless smartphone charger, and a twin touchscreen infotainment system (8.0 inches on top, 7.0 on bottom) with wireless Apple CarPlay. Sorry, Android users: your system is still wired. Additionally, all scheduled maintenance is covered for 36 months or 22,500 miles. 

Every QX50 also comes standard with the Nissan’s suite of driver-assist tech dubbed ProPilot Assist. It bundles automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection front and rear, blind-spot monitors, active lane control, automatic high beam headlights, and adaptive cruise control that can restart from a stop without driver intervention. Many premium and luxury brands charge extra for adaptive cruise control. 

The QX50 uses a 2.0-liter turbo-4 that makes 268 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque. The engine features variable compression that optimizes the compression ratio based on the throttle input to be sportier or more efficient, depending on how it’s driven. The engine pairs with a CVT to get 25 mpg combined in front-wheel drive or 24 mpg combined with all-wheel drive, which costs $2,000 more. 

The $45,545 Luxe adds leather upholstery, a panoramic sunroof, heated front seats, and a hands-free tailgate. 

The Sport costs $50,445 and blacks out the grille and other exterior trim elements, and rides on 20-inch black wheels. It has heated and cooled front seats, a heated steering wheel, semi-aniline leather, Bose sound, a surround-view camera system, navigation, and ambient lighting. 

The Sensory grade adds adaptive headlights, wood dash trim, 20-inch wheels, a head-up display, heated second row seats and other comforts for $54,745.

The Autograph tops the lineup at $59,295. It has synthetic suede headliner and door trim, quilted leather, and a towing capacity of 3,000 pounds.
