The former INFINITI EX37 has been renamed INFINITI QX50 under the brand’s new naming strategy. The melding of sports car and luxury crossover mixes a sleek, sculpted exterior design with exhilarating driving performance and an engaging interior.
Its compact dimensions and swooping lines minimize the QX50's utility—think of it as a sports car with plenty of space.
Changes are minimal this year, with the addition of a few colors and minor trim upgrades.
All QX50 models feature INFINITI's performance-oriented 325-horsepower 3.7-liter V6 matched with a seven-speed automatic transmission.
Your first choice is between Base and Journey trim levels, and rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive:
The entry-level QX50 comes well-equipped with standard features like leather upholstery, an eight-way power driver's seat, dual zone automatic temperature control and SiriusXM satellite radio.
Adding all-wheel drive also brings heated front seats and outside mirrors.
The more upscale Journey includes a moonroof, heated seats and outside mirrors, maple interior accents, an auto-dimming rearview mirror and a Bluetooth phone system.
This time, the move up to all-wheel drive doesn't have any other extras.
For the true upscale experience, you'll need to opt for a Journey model and add option packages:
INFINITI prices have a habit of spiraling skyward like a BMW's when you add a few options, so exercise restraint. We'd opt for a rear-wheel drive Journey with the Premium package as the best blend of value of luxury.
