Pros: The 2014 Infiniti QX50 premium compact crossover has the sleek profile of a coupe, drives like a sports sedan, and puts front occupants in comfortable, supportive seats. It also uses cutting-edge, yet user-friendly technologies while undercutting the price of many rivals.
Cons: Compared to most in its class, the QX50 offers limited rear-seat and cargo room, poor visibility, and not-so-great fuel economy. Beware of expensive options, too.
2014 Infiniti QX50 Price: There's just a single trim level on the menu called Journey AWD. Priced at $37,900, it comes standard with leather seats and dual-zone climate control. Three packages are available to enhance passenger comfort, convenience, and safety.
2014 Infiniti QX50 Fuel Economy: The official fuel consumption ratings for the QX50 are 8.1L/100km on the highway and 12.1L/100km in the city.
Improvements and Changes: The 2014 Infiniti QX50 is the same compact crossover the brand used to call EX37 during previous model years. Beyond the new name, there are no significant changes to report.
2014 Infiniti QX50 Powertrain: With a 3.7L V6 engine producing 325 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque, you'll notice an unmistakable hint of its potential in the dual polished exhaust tips. A 7-speed automatic transmission handles that power, which is then sent to all four wheels thanks to an intelligent AWD system. The latter features a Snow mode for slippery conditions.
Cargo Capacity: The trunk in the QX50 can fit 527 litres of cargo, which isn't much for a CUV. Of course, you can fold the rear seats to increase cargo room.
Safety: The 2014 Infiniti QX50 comes with six airbags, ABS brakes, brake assist, as well as stability and traction control systems. The Around View Monitor creates a composite image using four cameras to give a single overhead view, while Moving Object Detection alerts you to moving objects around the vehicle, giving you even greater awareness to manoeuvre with ease. Several other advanced safety systems are available with the QX50.
Comparing the 2014 Infiniti QX50: Other premium compact crossovers worth checking out include the Acura RDX, Audi Q5, BMW X3, Cadillac SRX, Lincoln MKX, Lexus RX, Mercedes-Benz GLK/GLA, Porsche Macan, and Volvo XC60.
Cons: Compared to most in its class, the QX50 offers limited rear-seat and cargo room, poor visibility, and not-so-great fuel economy. Beware of expensive options, too.
