The catch-22 of driving a family vehicle used to be that it was impossible to look sporty while taking the kids to soccer practice or play rehearsals. Then, INFINITI released the 2017 QX50 with a sharp interior and exterior that changed the game for parents across Seattle.

The Car Connection test drove a fresh QX50 and had a hard time pulling themselves away, proving this crossover looks about as far from a minivan or station wagon as you can get. The cockpit area wraps the driver in hardwood and leather accents that spell instant luxury. They also noted that this spacious five passenger SUV (187-inches long, 71-inches wide, and 63-inches high) actually has the silhouette of a coupe, which is almost certain to draw "oohs" and "aaahs" in the school pickup line.

Spend a moment inside the 2017 QX50 and you'll discover INFINITI paid extra attention to that interior - especially in the back of the car, where it features a spacious 35.3-inches of rear passenger leg room. Reviewers commented on how this is an upgrade from past models and would easily accommodate riders over six-feet tall.
