Infiniti will get rid of the most affordable crossovers at the end of the year

The Automotive News portal found out that the production of QX50 and QX55 will stop in December. This was announced by the representative of Infiniti at a meeting with dealers. It was decided to reduce the already weak grocery portfolio due to small sales: in the main US market in 2024, both “junior” crossovers diverged less than 15 thousand copies, greatly inferior to classmates.

Infiniti QX50 and QX55 are produced at the factory in Mexico, and both models are not young: the second generation of Pentecks ​​was released in 2017, and the cross-coup with the 55 index was added in 2020. President Trump spoke about the desire to increase the duties of imports from abroad, and the Japanese could also keep this fact in mind, coordinating early resignation.

Although in the American line of Infiniti, QX50 and QX55 crossovers are the most affordable, they can’t be called cheap: traditional SUV costs from 43 thousand dollars, a composite – from 50 thousand dollars. There is no need to choose the filling: only a turbo engine 2.0 with a variable degree of compression and variator. In 2026, the simplest Infiniti model in the United States will be QX60-the Nissan Pathfinder premium version.

The QX50 and QX55 will not have a direct heir, but according to unofficial data, an analogue on the basis of the Nissan X-Trail still has plans. The prospects of the brand as a whole may depend on its sales, because the Nissan maternal company is in a crisis and risks losing independence in the alliance with Honda.
