2022 vs 2023 INFINITI QX50 Crossover SUVs in Colorado

The 2023 INFINITI QX50 vs. the 2022 INFINITI QX50

Colorado drivers know that when they get behind the wheel of a QX50, they are cruising around in a sporty and luxurious crossover SUV. For the 2023 INFINITI QX50, potential customers will find that they are getting a familiar vehicle compared to the 2022 model year crossover SUV. However, there are some notable differences to the newest iteration of the vehicle. These include the change from the 2022 Essential trim to the 2023 Sport trim. While they are functionally the same, the exterior of the new Sport trim has been altered to help differentiate it from its previous iteration. Select trims of the 2023 model year crossover SUV also have new standard equipment.  

Powertrain Differences

The VC-Turbo four-cylinder engine from the 2022 model year QX50 makes its return to the 2023 version of the INFINITI. When drivers get behind the wheel of a new QX50 and feel the surge of 268 horsepower, they will appreciate top INFINITI performance. The engine remains paired with a Continuously Variable Transmission for reliable acceleration that doesn’t feel jarring for those inside the vehicle. FWD remains the standard drivetrain for the 2023 QX50, while AWD is also a returning drivetrain option for interested Colorado customers.  

Exterior & Interior Differences

With the introduction of the new Sport trim, the QX50 has a dynamic appearance as it cruises around town or the highway. This includes a gorgeous glassy black exterior and robust 20-inch blacked-out wheels. The interior of the new trim also receives some changes with scintillating semi-aniline leather seat upholstery. Every song played in the Sport trim also gains the excellent sound quality made possible by the 12-speaker Bose® stereo system. On other higher-end select trims, features such as a wireless smartphone charging pad and remote start are introduced if they weren’t present before.  

Driver-Assistance Technology Differences

Everything that made the series of 2022 INFINITI QX50 crossover SUVs such enjoyable and safe vehicles to drive is back for the 2023 model year QX50. Systems such as Automatic Emergency Braking and Forward Collision Warning are welcome additions for protecting the road in front of the vehicle. With Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert technology, a similar level of monitoring protection is found for the road behind the crossover SUV. Adaptive Cruise Control is a returning standard feature on the 2023 QX50 as well. All 2023 INFINITI models now also get an excellent three-year complimentary scheduled maintenance plan with their purchase.
