WHICH CAR LED THE 2018 BOSTON MARATHON?

The 2019 INFINITI QX50 led the race to the finish line. The QX50 crossover marked the pace of the 2018 Boston marathon. INFINITI sponsored the event along with the Boston Athletic Association’s 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon races.


The Boston Marathon has become a vehicle not only for sports but for service. This Year of Service began on Patriots’ Day as community heroes were honored for dedicating their lives to the service of others. Deb Kerr, a Semper Fi Fund volunteer, is one of those heroes. As part of the BAA recognition of her service on behalf of injured military members, INFINITI chose her to drive the QX50 crossover as it led the race.


The automaker also donated $10,000 to the Semper Fi Fund. INFINITI is helping other ways, as well. It sponsored VIP tents for Distance Medley event runners. Also, there was an interactive lounge, featuring the QX50 and other vehicles, at the finish line in Copley Square. INFINITI chose the 2019 QX50 for the marathon in recognition of its entirely new build and a remarkable new engine.

The QX50 luxury mid-size crossover has a new aerodynamic exterior. Deep character lines reveal the combination of engineering and artistry that went into the design. Revised architecture has given it a wider, more confident stance. Craftsmanship is on display even more in the cabin. Providing spaciousness for the family, engineers have managed to maximize interior space. High-quality materials bring the contemporary new look to life.


Looks alone aren’t the only way this vehicle stands out. INFINITI has utilized the world’s first variable compression ratio engine. With the VC-Turbo under the hood, QX50 drivers will command an engine that can transform on demand. Efficiency meets performance, and the economy meets power in this intelligent design.


Try a test drive of the 2019 INFINITI QX50. Strength, endurance, and durability lie beneath this crossover’s curb appeal.
