Compare the 2024 INFINITI QX50 vs QX55 - Peoria, AZ

If you’re eyeing a new compact SUV, INFINITI offers enticing options like the QX50 and QX55. While they share similar passenger space and features, understanding their distinctions is key. Let’s delve into the comparison between these two models.

Performance

Both the QX50 and QX55 boast INFINITI’s advanced VC-Turbo four-cylinder engine, delivering a satisfying 268 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. While a continuously variable transmission ensures smooth performance for both, the QX55 exclusively offers standard Intelligent AWD for enhanced traction.

It's worth noting that the QX55 isn't recommended for towing, unlike the QX50, which INFINITI rates to tow up to 3,000 pounds. This advantage is significant for drivers needing to haul lightweight equipment, ATVs, or small boats. The QX50 Autograph model, in particular, comes standard with an oil cooler and tow hitch receiver.

Appearance

The QX50 embraces a more traditional SUV appearance with a sculpted silhouette and standard modern LED headlamps and taillights. Opting for available 20-inch alloy wheels further accentuates its athletic stance. It offers a range of premium paint colors, including Dynamic Sunstone Red and Radiant White.

Meanwhile, the QX55 exudes sporty elegance with its coupe-like design, featuring a sleeker roofline that slightly limits cargo space compared to the QX50. Still, for most families, the difference is negligible. The available “Cube design” LED headlights add to the QX55’s captivating exterior.

Features

Both the QX50 and QX55 offer an array of amenities. However, the QX55’s entry-level trim boasts a few more standard premium features like leather upholstery, heated front seats, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.

Both SUVs come equipped with a dual-screen infotainment system and INFINITI’s stress-reducing ProPILOT Assist system, integrating full-speed intelligent cruise control with steering assist. Upscale upgrades include ventilated front seats, a 360-degree Around View Monitor camera system, a 16-speaker Bose Performance Series audio system, and a head-up display.
