With updated exterior styling and improved leg room on the interior, the 2016 Infiniti QX50 is a solid competitor in the luxury crossover SUV market. It offers stylish looks and very good driving dynamics.
The QX50 has a sportier front end for this model year that includes wider air vents and a hollowed out grille, putting it more in line with Infiniti's car lineup. The crossover's look is also enhanced by chrome accents on the side windows and grille.
The QX50 has standard 18-inch wheels, while 19-inchers are optional. A moonroof and heated side mirrors are also standard. Other options include fog lights, an adaptive front lighting system and a reverse tilt down mirror.
Under the hood, the QX50 features a 3.7-liter V-6 engine that makes 327 horsepower and is linked to a seven-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel is optional.
Gas mileage is rated at 17 mpg city, 24 highway. The QX50 uses premium fuel, so you might want to take that into account when making a purchasing decision.
The QX50 is available with an Around View Monitor system, which helps with parking. There are cameras on each side of the vehicle that show the surroundings on the screen on the dashboard. Other handy safety features include lane-departure warning, blind spot warning and forward collision warning systems.
The interior of the QX50 offers luxurious styling that is not over the top. The leather seating is comfortable and attractive and the dashboard is neatly arranged and features good quality materials. Dual zone climate control, satellite radio and heated front seats are standard. Options include a navigation system, Bose premium audio system and a power folding back seat.
The QX50 starts at around $37,000. Our tester, which was pretty well loaded up with options, carried a sticker price of $43,535.
If you're seeking a versatile crossover vehicle with some nice luxury features, the QX50 is a great choice.
