Infiniti updates the 2021 QX50 lineup with some minor alterations. Every model now comes with a Wi-Fi hotspot, laminated front side glass, and side-mounted airbags in the rear seat. Mineral Black joins the list of optional paint colors, too. Along with heated front seats, the Luxe model now comes standard with more driver assists, as well as a blackout package.
Pros One of the better-looking crossovers, quiet and refined manners, pretty and roomy interior.
Cons Unrefined engine sounds during acceleration, underwhelming fuel economy, annoying infotainment details.
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 Steering feels overly light and artificial
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
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
