The 2019 Infiniti QX50, a part of the second generation, is a luxury compact SUV, best known for its variable compression turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that can adjust its performance character on-the-fly. It delivers 268 horsepower and is paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). Power is directed to the front wheels, but all-wheel drive is optional. The QX50 is available in three trims: Pure, Luxe, and Essential. Key safety features include forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, forward emergency braking with pedestrian detection, and blind-spot warning. The Infiniti InTouch dual touchscreen infotainment system is standard, featuring an 8-inch upper and 7-inch lower display. The 2019 model introduced several changes including more contemporary looks following the 'Powerful Elegance' design philosophy, and ProPILOT Assist, a notable driver assistance feature.
