Pros: Peppy acceleration; nimble, car-like handling; posh, well-appointed cabin; attractive mix of car and SUV attributes, won’t see one on every street corner
Cons: Small, sloped rear window means poor rear visibility; tight rear seat; so-so cargo space; ride is stiff compared to most competitors
2015 QX50
CG Says: Bluetooth connectivity is now standard on all 2015 QX50s. Otherwise, Infiniti’s smallest SUV sees no changes of note. With its smooth, powerful engine and well-appointed cabin, QX50 is a sporty, luxurious alternative to the Acura RDX. Like the Infiniti Q50 sedan’s comfortable, posh interior, sporty performance, and available AWD but need more cargo utility? This premium-compact SUV has you covered. Note that some desirable safety features, including blind-spot alert, require the purchase of expensive option packages.
