QX50 highlights winning design, primarily when it comes to the front of the car that's now expanded by 4-inches and illustrates wider facial appearance when compared to its previous generation model. However the all-new QX50 is dimensionally shorter and smaller than its predecessors, but Infiniti has made it spacious from inside. Apart from the design changes, new QX50 is now powered by the world’s first variable compression turbocharged engine that is more fuel-efficient when compared to the previous generation QX 50 that was powered by the V6 engine. The new engine drives smooth performance while enforcing exceptional power output. Moreover, along with these changes, Infiniti has also worked on improving the cargo area, and this car now gives you the best in segment boot capacity of 888.6l, that has been doubled versus the previous generation QX50. 

Moreover, the interiors are also ramped up, and now you’ll get one-touch up/down power windows, electronic parking brake with auto-hold function. Under the hood, you get best of both worlds as now it’s powered by the 2.0l variable compression turbocharged engine that offers 8:1 and 14:1 compression ratio. This means with higher compression ratio you will get better fuel efficiency and with lower compression ratio you’ll get more power when needed. This 2.0L engine can produce a maximum power of 268hp at 5,600rpm and torque of 380nm at 4,400rpm. The power is transmitted via continuous variable transmission, that guarantees a smooth and luxurious ride.

Infiniti QX50 features the world’s first predictive forward collision system that monitors the car ahead of you and the car forward of the leading car to warn you of any sudden deceleration. Infiniti has smartly deployed it and this safety feature works with/without adaptive cruise control system. 

Competing against the Audi Q5, Volvo XC60, and Lexus NX, the new QX50 is an inexpensive luxury crossover SUV vehicle. It’s much better than others when it comes to luxury, design, engine performance and fuel consumption. And, the new QX50 with variable compression engine gives you optimum mileage of 15L/100km. Overall the second-generation QX50 is a good deal, but the infotainment system looks outdated, and you can get a better one with its rivals. However, Infinity has improved the handling, and now with well-tuned suspension and active chassis system, you can perform better when taking sharp turns.
