Hi! I am looking at buying a 2019 Infiniti QX50 and I am curious how is does on snow with standard all season tires. I live in the mountains and snow driving is very important but I’m not finding much information on it. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, This forum isn't the most active to say the least.

I have a 2016 QX50, an entirely different animal than the 2019.

I can't really intelligently respond with a response other than I doubt anyone will respond here I'm afraid.

I'm a fan of Infiniti's products, they are underrated and under appreciated.

They are a value compared to other " upscale " brands.

I can say the QX50 for 2019 is based on a Front Wheel Drive Platform, Assembled in Mexico in a modern Nissan Joint Venture Facility.

The 2019 does come with a " Snow Mode " feature, so it has that going for it.

Good luck on your research and happy car hunting.

Have to agree on the activity here - try to log on and help when I can! We have the 2019 QX50 AWD and live in Northern Wisconsin and have been very pleased. There is no SNOW MODE - only ECO / Standard / Sport / Personal - BUT from what I have read the AWD 50/50 front and rear is always on under a certain speed and then turns on as needed with slipping over that speed. That being said, our QX50 does well in some brutal snow/ice. The game changer for me though is the anti-lock brakes... brilliant on solid ice when you don't think stopping is even possible.
As an aside- we're using all season tires. You might think about some serious snow treads.

My 2017 was a warrior in Massachusetts snow! The rear wheel drive is a plus and smart 4 wheel drive. The snow mode if a huge help to get out of a plowed in parking space. No special tires, just low cost all weather tires. I had a Q25X before this and that coupe was also great in the snow.
