The redesigned 2019 Infiniti QX50 will cost $37,545 when it goes on sale later this spring, the automaker announced this week.

Infiniti may have been one of the early pioneers of electrification in the luxury segment, having introduced the M35h hybrid sedan as early as 2010, but the brand has been slow when it comes to electric car technology, which is a bit odd since parent company Nissan is one of the biggest proponents...

The 2018 Infiniti QX80 is a frustrating vehicle. It's (finally) attractive. There's a charming powertrain moving it along. And this big truck does luxury well, with beautiful leatherwork and a quiet cabin. But these attributes aren't enough to to overshadow the QX80's age. At the very least...

Crossovers get a lot of attention on the roads these days. Infiniti could use that kind of attention. But not just any crossover will do. Only one that's packed with plenty of "firsts" to stand out from the crowd will turn heads. The highlight reel for the new 2019 Infiniti QX50 reads like an...

Feast your eyes on the new QX50 from Infiniti. The small SUV made its world debut on Wednesday at the 2017 Los Angeles Auto Show and goes on sale next year, as a 2019 model. The 2019 QX50’s arrival is a watershed moment for Infiniti, as it also marks the introduction of several key...

Infiniti’s been without a proper flagship sedan ever since the Q45 bowed out of the market in 2006. The nameplate was crucial to Infiniti’s rise to prominence as a luxury brand, and in fact it’s where Infiniti’s current Q-based naming strategy comes from. Infiniti is well...

Infiniti on Tuesday revealed the 2018 QX80 at the 2017 Dubai motor show. This is the vehicle Infiniti previewed in April with the QX80 Monograph concept, though it barely resembles the handsome show car.

Infiniti's plan for the 2017 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance requires a bit of a walk—and we don't mean on the lawn. “It started as a simple thought—what if we found a car, down at the Southern tip of Japan, buried deep in a barn, hidden from all eyes for 70 years? What if in...

It's not exactly Michael Jordan versus Larry Bird for McDonald's circa 1993, but as we can see from this outtake in filming for his commercial for the Infiniti Q50, NBA star Steph Curry might as well say "nothing but interior." The Golden State Warriors shooting guard signed on with Infiniti as a...

Although it’s BMW that’s generally accepted for instigating the coupe-like SUV segment with the first-generation X6, some credit should be given to Infiniti whose slinky FX was introduced several years prior to the BMW. The FX is currently in its second generation and known today as the...

Sitting at each corner of a production-bound Infiniti Q60 Black S will be Pirelli rubber.
