Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Pros
Beautifully sculpted bodywork,
delightfully athletic and equally refined,
decidedly more premium than competitors.

Cons
Non-turbo engine needs more oomph,
can only tow up to 2000 pounds,
unremarkable cargo capacity.

By: 
caranddriver.com

Pros
Classy cabin
Sporty ride
Lots of standard safety features

Cons
Below-average cargo space for the class
Cramped rear seats

By: 
usnews.com

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.
