Why INFINITI Hits the Sweet Spot in the Luxury Market

INFINITI has carved out a unique space in the luxury car world, offering upscale design, premium performance, and cutting-edge technology without the sky-high price tag. While brands like BMW and Lexus often dominate the conversation around luxury, INFINITI quietly delivers many of the same high-end features at a more accessible cost. That’s what makes it one of the best affordable luxury car brands on the market today.

Let’s take the INFINITI QX55 as an example. This sporty crossover coupe brings dramatic styling, bold presence, and plenty of power under the hood to your driveway. It stacks up impressively against the BMW X4 but comes in at a significantly more approachable price point. 

So, if you’re searching for affordable fancy cars that deliver the look, feel, and performance of top-tier brands (without the top-tier price), INFINITI hits that sweet spot.

INFINITI QX50: Style Meets Versatility

The INFINITI QX50 is the perfect blend of elegance, performance, and everyday practicality. Whether you’re heading to work, picking up the kids, or taking off for a weekend getaway, this luxury crossover offers the comfort, space, and tech you need—without the steep price tag of competitors.

Here’s how the QX50 stands out:

  • VC-Turbo Engine: Delivers up to 268 horsepower 
  • Interior Comfort: Available quilted leather-appointed seats, open-pore wood accents, and panoramic moonroof

  • Dual Touchscreens: Split-screen infotainment lets you view navigation and media at the same time
  • Fuel Economy: Up to 28 MPG highway, depending on your configuration.
  • Starting MSRP: $43,000 

If you’re looking for the perfect blend of value and luxury experience, the QX50 has you covered.

Want Even More Savings? Go Certified Pre-Owned

While INFINITI has lower MSRPs than a lot of other luxury car brands, you may still be looking to stretch your dollar a little further. That doesn’t mean you have to give up on the luxury vehicle lifestyle, though. If you really want to get the most bang for your buck, you can opt for a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) INFINITI model instead of a brand-new one. 

To qualify for certification, Certified Pre-Owned vehicles must be 60 months from the original in-service date, have under 60,000 miles, and have a clean title history. They must then pass a rigorous 167-point inspection to ensure they meet INFINITI’s high standards. 

Driving a late-model CPO means you still receive a high-quality vehicle with the premium features you love while enjoying a reduced price. CPO is the perfect route for folks looking to get the most value possible. 

Financing Makes INFINITI Even More Accessible

Whether it’s your first time buying an INFINITI or you’re loyal to the brand, financing puts luxury within reach. From loan options to special rates, our finance team is ready to help you enjoy the INFINITI experience without the financial stress. You can even get pre-approved for financing online or value your trade-in—all before you step foot in our dealership. 

There’s no reason to wait. Financing your INFINITI is easier—and more affordable—than you might think.
