"We are very proud of the recognition by WardsAuto," said Karim Habib Executive Design Director, INFINITI Motor Company, Ltd. "The unrivaled interior space, carefully curated application of high quality materials, and advanced craftsmanship make the cabin as welcoming and comfortable as it is luxurious. The QX50's asymmetrical layout and calm, controlled atmosphere is designed to meet different needs of the driver and passengers."

On sale now at INFINITI retailers nationwide, the QX50 has a driver-centric and passenger-minded interior that is ergonomically designed and equipped with luxury materials to articulate a sense of artistic comfort, with a strong focus on space and functionality. The all-new QX50 is finished in supple leathers, tailored stitching and genuine open-pore wood.

Where many luxury vehicle interiors use high-gloss wood surfaces to create the perception of quality, the all-new 2019 QX50 is finished in genuine, matte finish open-pore maple wood. It is treated to retain its natural characteristics in texture and appearance. Running a hand over it, the grain of the wood is still detectable to the touch, demonstrating a high level of craftsmanship to create an authentic, modern and highly tactile dashboard. Using bespoke manufacturing methods, wrap-and-sew detailing is a highlight of the handcrafted ambience. The leather on the dash is selected for its quality and is hand-wrapped over the edges of the panels. The seats, door panels and dashboard feature a laser hole-cut stitch pattern, tailored to follow the curves of the interior surfaces. Contrast color stitching is used on the seats for a luxury look and feel.
The available moonroof stretches across the cabin, providing a dramatic, panoramic view of the sky for passengers. This visually enhances interior space, flooding the cabin with natural light.

The sport-inspired steering wheel is shaped for a comfortable grip over long distances to help minimize hand fatigue and allow the driver to feel confident. Wheel-mounted paddle shifters help maximize ease of use.

The available Bose® Performance Series Audio System with Advanced Staging Technology includes genuine aluminum speaker grilles to add even more refinement to the QX50 interior. A 17-speaker sound array provides a true concert-like audio experience.
