Saying Goodbye to the INFINITI QX50 and INFINITI QX55

2025-Infiniti-QX50-Pure-Blue

As INFINITI continues its evolution toward a future of electrification, the automaker has announced the conclusion of the current generation of two of its most distinctive crossovers. After the 2025 model year, production of the INFINITI QX50 and the coupe-like INFINITI QX55 will end. Here at Southwest INFINITI, we celebrate the legacy of these vehicles.

Paving the Way for an Electric Future

This change in strategy for INFINITI is a forward-looking move. The automaker is preparing its manufacturing facilities for a new generation of vehicles, many of which are all-electric models. This evolution ensures that INFINITI will remain at the forefront of luxury, performance, and cutting-edge technology for years to come.

A Legacy of Style and Performance

The outgoing INFINITI QX50 and INFINITI QX55 are known for their groundbreaking VC-Turbo® engine, which is the world’s first production variable compression turbo engine. This powertrain provides a dynamic balance between pure horsepower and impressive fuel efficiency. These models also boasted distinctive design, the INFINITI QX50 with its elegant SUV style and the INFINITI QX55 with its dramatic, sloping roofline, as well as stylish and feature-filled cabins.

An Opportunity for Ownership

Though these INFINITI vehicles are being discontinued, there is still an opportunity to own them. The final allotment of new 2025 models, alongside our selection of high-quality pre-owned and INFINITI Certified Pre-Owned versions, is available here at Southwest INFINITI.

What Factors Affect My INFINITI Trade-In Value?

There are many factors that go into your INFINITI trade-in value, which is why two vehicles of the same model year will not necessarily receive the same offer. When we look at car trade-ins, we consider both the individual vehicle and the market conditions. Here is an overview of the major factors that go into your INFINITI trade-in at Southwest INFINITI. Mileage, Condition, and Vehicle History The vehicle’s overall condition is one of the most important factors that goes into its trade-in value. Things like exterior dents and scratches, interior wear, tire condition, and mechanical issues all affect the appraisal. A well-maintained trade-in with fewer repairs needed is likely to be more appealing on the trade-in market. This is another reason why keeping up to date on certified INFINITI service is vital. Mileage is another factor that goes into the trade-in value. However, it should be considered alongside age and condition, as a high-mileage vehicle that has been maintained according to schedule will often be worth more than a low-mileage vehicle that hasn’t received maintenance. Service records can provide evidence of regular maintenance, while a vehicle history report can show previous accidents, title information, and ownership history. Market Factors and Model Demand The vehicle itself also affects its value. Model year, trim, drivetrain, installed equipment, and other features can make one INFINITI model more desirable than another. The availability of similar pre-owned models in the local market can influence demand. Market conditions change over time, which means a trade-in estimate that you received months ago may not be the same today.

The team at Southwest INFINITI is transparent about the market for your car, and we provide you with the same data that we use for appraisals.

What Are My Options at the End of an INFINITI Lease

As you reach the final months of your INFINITI lease contract, it is a good time to decide what you want from your next vehicle. This could mean moving to another new INFINITI, purchasing your current vehicle, or handing back the keys. The finance professionals at Southwest INFINITI are here to help you make your lease-end decision. Sign a New INFINITI Lease If you’re somebody who prefers to drive the newest INFINITI models when they are first released, the end of a lease is an excellent opportunity to switch vehicles. Maybe you need additional space, want newer technology and safety features, or simply want to experience the newest INFINITI SUVs. One advantage of staying with the brand is that INFINITI allows customers who purchase or lease another new INFINITI model to receive a waiver of up to $500 for excess wear-and-use or excess-mileage liability on their existing lease. Keep Your Current Model After spending several years with a vehicle, you know its history, how it drives, and its condition. If you are not ready to give it up, your lease agreement may provide an option to purchase it at the end of the term. Contact our INFINITI finance team for the specific details and buyout price in your contract. Return Your Leased Model Finally, you can also complete the normal lease-return process without replacing or purchasing the vehicle. Before doing so, review your mileage and vehicle condition to avoid potential fees, remove your belongings, and gather equipment such as keys that came with your INFINITI model. Explore INFINITI Lease-End Options at Our Dealership There isn’t any one-size-fits-all approach for every lease. Your driving needs, budget, and mileage all will play a role in your decision. Visit Southwest INFINITI to explore options with our team and find the one that’s right for you.
