The 2019 INFINITI QX50 is a category-defying crossover for many reasons. And, while it would be easy to discuss the proprietary VC-turbo compression ratio engine that it’s packing under the hood, there are myriad other little subtleties that make this ride a standout. Namely, its bold proportions and athletic stance that propel this sub-compact into new heights.
For starters, this CUV boasts an overall altitude of 66.1 inches, so passengers will be sitting pretty with an 8.6-inch ride elevation for maximum visibility. To further impress, an eye-point of 50.7 inches affords the operator a clear view whether commuting, parking, or watching a movie at the old drive-in theater.
With the choice of 19-inch or 20-inch options, the bold tire dimensions also add to the carrier's sense of agility and overall ruggedness. With the wheels reaching as far into the corners as structurally possible, there is a minimal intrusion from the arches into the cabin's interior space.
At 184.7 inches in length and 74.9 inches in width, the QX50 delivers a broad appeal to those in the market for a sports utility vehicle that looks the part, while still offering sedan-like handling and performance.
