2016 Infiniti QX50 review

1. Ample cargo and passenger room 

The interior of the 2016 Infiniti QX50 is spacious and offers ample room for passengers. It can seat five people, with those in the front getting 40.5 inches of headroom and 44.3 inches of legroom. Rear head- and legroom measure 38.4 inches and 28.5 inches, respectively. The seats are wide and supportive, especially in the first row. Cargo capacity is also satisfactory, with an 18.6 cu-ft trunk, which increases to 50.1 cu-ft with the rear seats folded. 

2. Lots of standard equipment 

Since it’s a high-end vehicle, it’s only normal to expect the 2016 Infiniti QX50 to come with a lot of features that cater to enhanced comfort and convenience, above all. Standard equipment includes dual-zone automatic climate control, heated power-folding outside mirrors, keyless entry and ignition, and automatic headlights, to name a few. Also standard are 18-inch alloy wheels, contributing to the stylish exterior of this subcompact SUV. 

3. Plenty of power under the hood 

All the style and class on the inside and the outside of the 2016 Infiniti QX50 would be less meaningful if it weren’t accompanied by a good performance. Luckily, it’s an exciting vehicle to drive and a great fit for enthusiasts enjoying a dynamic driving experience. It comes with a standard 3.7L V6 engine that generates 325 hp and 267 lb-ft of torque and is paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain gives the QX50 the strength to power through daily life, drive uphill with ease, and carry around a lot of heavy cargo without feeling strained. 

4. Great interior materials 

An upscale SUV such as the 2016 Infiniti QX50 simply must have an extraordinary interior with high-end materials and features making for a reined ride experience. The standard trim includes leather upholstery and heated, power-adjustable front seats, for example. Then, there is a driver’s seat memory system, along with hospitality lighting with a pin LED light and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. 

5. Decent gas mileage 

If fuel consumption is among your priorities, you’ll be happy to know that the 2016 Infiniti QX50 returns decent gas mileage. It has an EPA-estimated 20 mpg combined, which is a good number considering the potent V6 engine.
