Product Overview

Infiniti QX50 II (chassis code J55) is a premium mid-size crossover in production from 2017. It is available with a single turbocharged inline-4 engine that displaced 2.0 liters.
Compared to the original EX / QX50, the Mk2 has a more athletic styling but a smaller engine. Interestingly, Infiniti chose to use a CVT for the relatively heavy vehicle.
Those who drive offroad, for work or leisure, need to think twice before pulling the trigger: the Infiniti QX50 II is hardly the "offroader" that Infiniti would like you to think.
Drivers who appreciate handling should keep in mind that the Infiniti QX50 II uses MacPherson front suspension, which doesn't provide the best cornering performance.

External Reviews

autocar[1]

Reviewer score 44%
Reviewers from autocar have found the following***:
The Infiniti QX50 is the first mass-produced car in the world to feature a variable compression ratio engine. Peak power is 264bhp, and maximum torque a stout 280lb ft that’s consistently available between 1600-4800rpm. The VC-T motor is certainly smooth, although this advantage tends to be overshadowed by its slightly gritty sound at low revs.

Pros
  • Punchy V6 engine
  • Impressive infotainment tech
Cons
  • Ridiculously noisy at low revs

Reviewers from cnet have found the following***:
The top-of-the-line QX50 Autograph is now a trim level, rather than a special package. Autograph models add standard ProPilot Assist, 20-inch wheels, a head-up display and tri-zone climate controls. Essential models can be further upgraded with an $800 Pro Assist package. As a luxury upgrade, this cabin punches well above its weight class for the money.
