Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

PROS
Really sharp infotainment and instrument display
Gutsy little engine with all-wheel drive
Looks properly distinctive without becoming ugly

CONS
It's a bit pricey
This car's DCT had a harsh upshift from first into second
Not particularly spacious inside for a crossover

By: 
carexpert.com.au

Hyundai's compact SUV received the sporty N-Line treatment in its 2021 update. Is it a good choice for those who can’t stretch to the full-fat Kona N?

PROS
Engine’s mid-range performance
Well-judged ride/handling balance
Comfortable seats front and rear

CONS
Poor value compared with i30 N-Lines
Less boot and cabin space than i30
Gearbox calibration
Intrusive lane-keep system
10,000km service intervals

By:

Pros
Roomy interior with comfortable seating
Lots of cargo space
Easy to get in and out
Quiet at highway speeds

Cons
Inconsistent power delivery due to CVT automatic
Disappointing real-world fuel economy
Adaptive steering feels overly light and artificial

By: 
edmunds.com

Pros
Large cargo area
Sumptuous and spacious cabin
Low base price

Cons
Crude transmission operation
Distracting infotainment system

By: 
usnews.com

The 2022 QX50 adds more standard features and updated visual options. Every model now comes with wireless Apple CarPlay and Infiniti's suite of driver assists. The latter includes adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and lane-keeping assist. Along with a newly available appearance package, select trim levels receive interior enhancements.

Pros
Handsome on the outside and the inside,
lots of room for people and cargo,
very comfy front seats.

Cons
Innovative engine has ordinary traits,
transmission contributes to noisiness,
unintuitive infotainment layout.
