2023 INFINITI QX50 for Sale in West Allis, WI.

If you're on the hunt for a top-tier luxury SUV to navigate the roads around Wauwatosa, Greenfield, Greendale, Milwaukee, and beyond, you're likely eyeing the 2023 INFINITI QX50 and the Acura RDX. But the real head-scratcher is, which one has the goods you want for your jaunts around town?

Sure, Acura's got the sporty vibe down pat, but when indulging in upscale driving, INFINITI's plusher approach takes the cake. And if we're talking about crossovers, their latest models - the Acura RDX and INFINITI QX50 - give European heavyweights like Audi and BMW a run for their money.

Comparing the two, the Acura RDX is a solid choice with plenty of features to keep you happy on the road. But the INFINITI QX50 just has that special something that puts it in a league of its own.

Want to get behind the wheel of the 2023 INFINITI QX50? Visit our dealership at Lupient INFINITI Milwaukee in West Allis, WI. Before then, here’s a comprehensive breakdown of their features and benefits.

An Expression of Your Personality on the Road

The new 2023 INFINITI QX50 is the ultimate wingman - sophisticated enough to impress yet down-to-earth enough to make you feel right at home. With features and technology that are both smart and easy to use, it's like having a personal assistant on four wheels.

For the 2023 model year, the INFINITI QX50 builds upon the refined styling of its predecessor with the addition of a Sport model. Replacing the Essential trim in the middle of the lineup, the Sport boasts an eye-catching aesthetic with gloss-black exterior accents and dark-painted 20-inch wheels that provide a confident, bold stance.

If you're a fan of fancy finishes, you'll swoon over the quilted leather seats and wood trim available in the higher QX50 models. But that doesn’t make the base models less comfortable, as they offer a cozy and hush-hush ride with a spacious second row with reclining seats, perfect for taking a mid-road-trip nap.

Need room for your luggage? The QX50's got you covered with 31 cubic feet behind the back seats and up to 65 cubic feet with the seats folded down.

While the 2023 Acura RDX also comes with desirable standard interior features such as ambient lighting, power-adjustable heated front seats, and dual-zone climate control; it just doesn't quite hit the mark of true luxury, which is one area where the INFINITI QX50 excels.

Tech You Can't Live Without

The latest INFINITI QX50 is loaded with a variety of standard and available innovative technology features to enhance the pleasures of travel and keep you connected and in control on the way. The QX50's infotainment system is like a tech lover's dream come true - with not one but two screens! It's got an 8.0-inch display for media and navigation and a 7.0-incher below to keep your climate controls within reach. Plus, the 7.0-inch instrument cluster display adds a futuristic touch while ensuring that critical vehicle information is always visible to the driver.

Standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™capabilities ensure you can access important smartphone applications, respond to messages, and enjoy your favorite playlists without taking your eyes off the road. Higher trims have a head-up display for added convenience and safety, and the optional 12-speaker Bose system will make you feel like you're at a concert, even on your daily commute.

The RDX's 10.2-inch touchscreen might take some getting used to, but once you do, you'll have access to wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™; the Technology package throws in built-in navigation, rear-seat USB ports and a fancy 12-speaker audio system for good measure.

Unleashing the True Potential of a Crossover SUV

Since its redesign for the 2019 model year, the QX50 has consistently featured a turbocharged four-cylinder engine with variable compression technology, known as VC-Turbo.

While the QX50 prioritizes comfort and luxury, it also maintains a composed and smooth ride on rough and smooth roads alike. With an output of 268 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, this powertrain is paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) that can send power to either the front or all four wheels and make every trip smooth and seamless for you, whether you're cruising around town or blasting down the highway.

This innovative VC-Turbo engine can seamlessly switch between high compression during cruising and low compression during acceleration, resulting in a more efficient and dynamic driving experience with the power to take on any challenge that comes your way. When it comes to fuel economy, the QX50's VC turbo engine is like having the best of both worlds - power and fuel efficiency. With the front-wheel-drive model boasting a rating of 23 mpg city and 29 highway and the all-wheel-drive version coming in at 22 mpg city and 28 highway, you can drive confidently, knowing that you're getting the most out of your gas.

Coming to the 2023 Acura RDX, it boasts a 272-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and 10-speed automatic transmission across all trims, available in standard front and optional all-wheel drive options.

A Luxury Crossover SUV You Can Trust

The INFINITI QX50 comes equipped with a range of standard driver-assistance features, including lane-departure warning and lane-keeping assist to help keep you on track, as well as adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go technology to help maintain a safe following distance in heavy traffic. These features work together seamlessly to provide a more confident and secure driving experience for drivers and passengers alike.

The INFINITI QX50 takes parking to a whole new level with its wraparound visibility and Around View® Monitor. But what really sets it apart is the Moving Object Detection feature, which is like having eyes in the back of your head, except it’s cameras on your car.

And unlike the RDX's Surround-View Camera System, the QX50 takes it up a notch with Moving Object Detection. You never know what obstacles might pop up, but with the QX50, you'll be ready for anything.
