Since the 2019 QX50 crossover won't make it into
Infiniti retailers nationwide until Spring 2018, the automaker is also
introducing a new reservation program. This gives customers the opportunity to
reserve their car during the pre-launch phase, but also to receive tech, audio
or home-themed luxury gifts as the reservations increase.
The program has been split up into tiers, so that
the more people who reserve a car, the greater these incentives will be. The
first tier has already been unlocked as reservations exceeded 4,000. The second
tier will be unlocked at 8,000 reservations, while the third tier needs 12,000
reservations.
Prices for the all-new 2019 QX50 start at US$ 36,550 if
you go for the Pure FWD model, and will climb all the way to US$ 45,150 for the
flagship Essential AWD version.
On-board the QX50 you'll find the available ProPILOT
Assist as well as the first FWD application of Infiniti's Direct Adaptive
Steering system. Additional tech includes Distance Control Assist, Back-up
Collision Intervention, Predictive Forward Collision Warning, Blind Spot
Warning and Intervention, Lane Departure Warning and Prevention and Forward
Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection.
As for what's underneath the hood, it's the world's
first production-ready variable compression ratio engine, the 2.0-liter
VC-Turbo petrol.
