The cabin of the QX50 is good enough to create a personal environment as it comes with open-pore wood accents and tailored leather stitching. The surface is advanced and the interior is perfectly designed while being completely driver focused.

The all-new QX50 uses the Infiniti Intelligent AWD system and is built on an entirely new platform. In addition, some driver assist features are also provided to enhance the safety and make the vehicle convenient to be driven.

The manufacturer takes a bit of inspiration from the QX50 Concept to design the vehicle. The new QX50 has quite a lot of supreme features like great interior space, highly advanced development, calm and connected cabin, first-class materials and so on.

The QX50 LUXE variant is priced at AED 171,000, which is also the starting price tag of the model. The top-end variant, QX50 Autograph, comes with a price tag of AED 245,250 (including VAT).
