We're here with the 2019 Infiniti QX50. Now the QX50 was last sold as a 2017 model. It took 2018 off to retool and it is back for 2019 with a brand new wheel base, which expands the car, adding interior and cargo room.
Now the QX50 looks similar to the QX60, the actual easiest way to tell it apart is the sharp line found on the hood. Now, if we head towards the back, you'll see that kink in the rear pillar, and that's sort of an Infiniti signature that through carries throughout all of their SUV's. inside there are big change as well it includes a large leap forward in cabin materials. Now the old QX50, it was nice inside, but it wasn't what you would call luxurious. The new one is definitely that with things like quilted leather, and the suede accents found on the center console. Now it might not be my style, but that's going to be a personal preference thing. What is sure is it's much nicer in here than it was before. The new wheel base also helps the QX50 to overcome one of its old weaknesses. The previous version only had 18.6 cubic feet of cargo room. That's now expanded to 31.6 cubic feet, which is a 70% increase. Infiniti says you can actually fit three golf bags back here which is a good amount of room for a vehicle this size. One of the strengths of the old version of the QX50 was its price. It started at right around $35,000. The new one will probably be significantly more than that, given the upgrades in space and materials, but we won't know that until Infiniti releases pricing information closer to its release date, which we also don't know.
