"The Infiniti QX50 an edgy compact SUV is offering something else."
Nissan premium brand Infiniti has struggled significant progress in the United Kingdom to make, regardless of the fact that it is positioned as "Japanese BMW in the United States. We do not believe the Infiniti QX50 (formerly Infiniti EX) go is really his thing to help when. the QX50 comes within the small but versatile crossover class, but its high price is what you get for your money.
the coupe-like styling and increased ride height certainly give him street not really assured presence, but also a confusing identity There are two engines available:., a 3.0-liter diesel and a more powerful 3.7-liter V6 petrol from the Nissan 370Z sports car. Both offer performance in line with Infiniti image, but their high CO2 emissions and poor fuel economy problems mean the QX50 is destined to remain a niche model. the likes of the BMW X3 currently offer a much cleaner, faster and more enjoyable driving experience
The QX50 is available in three main specifications :. The standard entry-level car, the mid-range GT and the top-of-the-range GT Premium.

Very heavy on fuel
If you take care of the running costs, then this Infiniti is not the car for you. The diesel disappointed with miserly fuel consumption 33.2mpg and terrible CO2 emissions from 224g / km, for £ 20-a-year road tax. Compare that with the BMW X3 3.0-liter diesel, which emits 159 g / km CO2. Simply put, whichever model you choose QX50, the running costs will be significantly higher than similarly priced rivals.

Not much fun
the truth is to drive, the QX50 experience may be a bit confusing. Infiniti signature sporty driving style with a start-up body is combined, it is neither one nor the other. The steering is not responsive enough and is not enough feedback.
We want to see more fun for the drivers (especially if you look at the car-price and premium brand) and a more comfortable riding. There is no doubt, the power of the 316bhp 3.7-liter V6 petrol engine (0-62mph takes 6.4 seconds), but the diesel is a better everyday choice.

Interior & Comfort
-
Comfortable but not quite luxurious
Infiniti tried the quality of German rivals like BMW fit, but the QX50 interior come not up to their standards. It has comfortable and decent definitely, but some components are clearly transmitted from Nissan and seem so too cheap for a car of this price.
There is not enough adjustment to the driving position, for everyone to get really comfortable. The raised seating position makes the QX50 feel spacious, but - also its interior is just about the same level of a Volkswagen Golf.

practicality & trunk

boots could be larger
The QX50 is an SUV in appearance, but not in practicality. It is rather a baby 4x4, with all the problems that entails. Head and legroom is very tight, the driving position is tight, the seat can not go far enough and the steering wheel of the height and reach adjustment is lowered too limited.
The boat has a small 340-liter capacity with the rear seats in place, which is 550 liters significantly behind the BMW X3. In fact, the QX50 is struck by the smaller BMW X1 in this department. If you reduce the split folding rear seats, the capacity expands to 1,170 liters, which is of as much as 400 liters of still from the pace of competitors Infiniti. The rear seats increase and reduce electric, though - offered touched tidy only one of several.

reliability and safety

Should up to Nissan standards
Infiniti still are quite rare on British roads, it is hardly surprising that no one turned up 2013 customer satisfaction survey in our driver performance. Parents compay Nissan record and reputation is the best indicator of how reliable each Infiniti is -. And it's usually pretty good
Interestingly, after a few good years excellent top-five showings in the driving current manufacturer rankings, Nissan has an eight-square tumble in 2013 from its 2012 fourth place , so that customers are not quite as enthusiastic as they are used. However, the QX50 turn should still solid and reliable. There are still only 12 Infiniti dealers in the United Kingdom, but if there is an unexpected problem or routine maintenance, Infiniti is your car and deliver it back to you.
The QX50 comes with a set of air bags, electronic stability control and security gadgets like automatic headlights, automatic wipers and lane departure warning, so it should be very safe indeed. It has not independently crash-tested by Euro NCAP, but was.

price, price-performance ratio and options
-
loads of standard equipment, but at a high price
Because Infiniti Nissan's luxury brand, you can a lot of equipment and accessories as standard showing the QX50 , However, other areas do not live on the intimidating price tag, including the open disappointing quality of the plastic liner. Moreover, even if QX50s are rare, their resale value on the used car market is not good. So do not expect a substantial return if you are coming on second-hand for sale.
