If you’re looking for a vehicle that handles like a sedan, while providing SUV-like space and utility, then you’re going to adore the 2017 INFINITI QX50.
Newly re-designed in 2016, this well-loved model has propelled itself to the brand’s podium as the third best seller in the lineup. Featuring a broader and more athletic stance than previous generations, this crossover sees an extended wheelbase (+ 3.2 inches) while 4.5 inches have been added to the overall length. This equates to a more capacious cabin environment with enhanced second-row leg room (35.3 inches).
Equipped with a standard 3.7-liter V6 — notably, one of the most powerful engines in its category — this luxury crossover is capable of producing up to 325 HP with ease. Paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission, it accelerates seamlessly. Downshift rev-matching ensures moving through lower gears is as smooth as can be. Earning 17 MPG in the city and 24 MPG on the highway, this CUV is an excellent option for those who desire the functionality of an active vehicle with the economy of a cruiser.
