2+ Infiniti Cars for Sale in South Africa

Infiniti’s always felt like a bit of a misfit here in South Africa. You’ll spot the occasional FX SUV or Q50 sedan, but you’re more likely to see a unicorn than a full Infiniti lineup at your local dealer. Right now, there are just two on the classifieds: an FX for R269,900 and a Q50 for R229,900. Both are diesel, both used, and the price gap barely covers a set of tyres. So you’re not picking your spec or colour – you’re picking between two lonely cars that survived the cull. For anyone not sold on German badges or their inflated premiums, there’s a weird appeal, but you’ll need to shop quick because the “range” is basically non-existent.

Now, the Q50 is rear-wheel drive and aimed straight at the BMW 3 Series – it’s what the Q50 should have been from the start, and it actually feels distinct from the usual suspects. The FX, meanwhile, looks nothing like its rivals: low, wide, and not pretending to be an off-roader. Both diesels make sense for long N1 hauls, and the Q50’s interior, with its old-school physical buttons and soft-touch finishes, is a breath of fresh air compared to the touchscreen obsession that’s ruined so many cabins from that era. Real talk, though – two cars in the whole country means you’ll be calling around for spares, and finding someone to service them is going to take some legwork. That’s the point: niche cars come with niche headaches, but for some, that’s half the fun.
