The 2019 INFINITI QX50 is loaded with features aimed to keep you entertained, safe, and comfortable. This performance-oriented crossover hopes to provide drivers the best possible experience on the road. Protecting you is one of the most important aspects of a great vehicle.
When you read a list of specs, the safety features in particular can be a bit confusing. Different manufacturers give unique names to amenities that are actually the same thing, which doesn’t help matters. The QX50 has a number of protective devices, like knee airbags, that you might wish to have explained a bit further before you make a purchase.
Though airbags have been around for many years, the kind designed for your knees are fairly new. These are deployed during a crash from underneath the dashboard, usually on both sides of the automobile. Since they are low, they can prevent your leg from being caught between the dashboard and the seat.
Crashes which force your knee to become stuck against the dash can cause severe injury, sometimes requiring amputation or resulting in paralysis. If you have had previous surgeries or problems with your joints, you should be particularly careful about picking a vehicle with this sort of airbag.
Stop by INFINITI of Tacoma the next time you’re in the Edmonds, Washington, area and take a test drive of the 2019 QX50. It’s loaded with other safety features in addition to knee airbags that you’re sure to appreciate!
