2025 Infiniti QX50

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 QX50.

Transmission Automatic (AV-S8)

The 2025 Infiniti QX50 is a luxury compact SUV equipped with an automatic transmission (AV-S8) that delivers EPA-estimated fuel economy of 23/29/26 mpg across city, highway, and combined driving cycles. This model year marks a significant inflection point in the vehicle's reliability trajectory, with owner complaint data spanning the 2014-2025 model range showing complaints have plummeted from a peak of 131 in 2019 to just one in the current model year, alongside zero recalls reported. The dramatic reduction in reported issues suggests substantial refinement of the platform over its production life, positioning the 2025 QX50 among the most problem-free iterations of this generation.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the spark plugs at 105,000 mi; coolant at 105,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 105,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2025 QX50 sits at the low end of a clear improvement arc that began after the 2019 redesign year spiked to 131 complaints, three recalls, and 171 TSBs; complaints have fallen steadily from 39 in 2021 to 13 in 2022 and just four in both 2023 and 2024, while recalls dropped from two per year (2020–2022) to one in 2023–2024 and zero for 2025. TSB volume mirrors the decline, falling from 126 in 2021 to 19 in 2024 and only two so far for 2025. The single 2025 complaint falls in an "Unknown Or Other, Engine, Fuel/Propulsion System" category, and the data does not specify a root cause; there are no crash or fire complaints recorded. One investigation remains open for 2025, consistent with the single investigation carried in each of the prior four years. Given the minimal federal activity and the sustained downward trend across all metrics, the 2025 model year presents the cleanest regulatory profile of the generation to date, though its limited time in service means long-term durability remains unproven.
