2020 Infiniti QX50 review

1. Power meets efficiency

The 2020 QX50 uses Infiniti's 2.0L VC-Turbo^™ which is an advanced variable compression ratio engine that's designed to optimize performance and fuel economy. It features a unique multi-link system that raises or lowers the pistons' reach to adjust the engine compression ratio between 8:1 for more power to 14:1 for better gas mileage. Total output of the turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder is 268 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque, which is great get-up-and-go for your everyday drive. When equipped with standard front-wheel drive and the 2.0L engine, the 2020 QX50 returns an EPA-estimated 26 mpg combined or an EPA-estimated 25 mpg combined with optional all-wheel drive.

2. Cruising in comfort

Whether you're coasting down the highway or circumnavigating bumpy city roads, the 2020 QX50 prioritizes comfort with a compliant and composed ride. This midsize crossover features a MacPherson strut front suspension and an independent multi-link rear suspension that delivers quick responses while a damping control system is designed to maximize a smooth on-the-road experience. With a 36.4-foot curb-to-curb turning diameter, you'll find the QX50 is very agile and easy to maneuver with its well-balanced variable-assist steering system. For your regular commuting or your longer trips, the 2020 QX50 is a great way to travel.

3. Spacious cabin

With 39.6 inches of front-row legroom and 38.7 inches in the second row, your passengers won't need to compete for space in the 2020 Infiniti QX50. The rear row also includes sliding and reclining seatbacks for extra comfort on longer drives or you can fold the 60/40-split rear bench seat completely flat to carry up to 65.1 cubic feet of cargo. With all seats occupied, the 2020 QX50's trunk is very spacious, boasting 31.4 cubic feet of volume. A motion-activated liftgate (standard on the Autograph trim) also makes loading all your luggage and groceries very efficient.

4. Premium interior

If you're shopping for a midsize crossover with a sophisticated interior that's overflowing with premium materials, the 2020 QX50 should be on your shortlist. Pure, Luxe, and Essential trims come standard with leatherette upholstery, while the trim-topping Sensory and Autograph grades feature leather-appointed perforated seating for added luxury. Painted aluminum interior trim flows throughout the cabin (Pure, Luxe, Essential, and Sensory grades) and is a bold complement to the available Ultrasuede^® headliner and pillars. You'll also enjoy a 10-way power-adjustable driver seat with two-way power lumbar adjustment, which comes standard on every trim of this Infiniti crossover.

5. Innovative tech

The 2020 QX50 matches its premium interior with smart technology that helps you stay connected on your drive. All trims come standard with an Infiniti InTouch dual-display system. This system boasts an upper eight-inch touchscreen display and a lower seven-inch touchscreen display to access the vehicle's features, including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capabilities. Essential and higher trims also add integrated navigation to help you find your way around town, plus there's an Around View® Monitor with Moving Object Detection that uses four cameras and one virtual composite 360° view designed to aid in parking. Other driver-assist features include automatic high-beams, blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, and more.
