Car Summary
An incredible performance crossover, the Infiniti QX50 has the alluring style of a coupé and the capabilities of a powerful SUV. Fitted with an intelligent All-Wheel Drive system, renting an Infiniti QX50 3.0D rewards you with a drive in an impressively advanced 4x4.
Designed and engineered to perfection, the Infiniti QX50 combines spacious luxury and unbeatable performance. Utilising the front-midship platform of Infiniti’s performance sedans, the QX50 has a near equal 54:46 front to rear weight ratio for superb balance, while the AWD system varies the power distribution to the wheels for optimum control depending on road conditions.
The powerful 3.0 litre V6 diesel engine is responsive and efficient, producing 235 bhp while managing a fuel economy of 32.9 mpg, and is tuned to deliver thrilling acceleration, with force increasing the faster you go. A speed-sensitive steering system delivers an ideal level of control to suit your speed and a striking set of lightweight 18-inch double-spoke alloy wheels make the Infiniti QX50 remarkably light on its feet.
The QX50’s flowing lines emphasise its performance abilities, and a raft of advanced systems allow drivers to get the most from their 4x4 driving experience. Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) responds to traffic speed ahead, while Distance Control Assist (DCA) ensures you maintain a safe distance from vehicles in front. Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA) with Forward Collision Warning 1 (FCW) warns against potential collisions, and Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) helps you to avoid unintentionally drifting out of your lane.
Your safety and comfort is enhanced in the luxurious cabin, with front-seat Active Head Restraints to reduce the incidence of whiplash, and an advanced dual-zone adaptive climate control system that works with a Grape Polyphenol Filter to remove up to 99.5% of all allergens entering the car from outside. Infiniti have also ensured there is plenty of space for passengers and their luggage, with a versatile folding seating system that allows for easy transportation of oversized loads.
Reviews“The Infiniti QX50… is one of the most driver-focused crossovers on the market today”
The 2015 Infiniti QX50 looks the part of a crossover, though it is actually built on a sports-sedan chassis. It delivers superb driving dynamics, is responsive and its cabin feels much like a full-on luxury car. It is satisfying in both style and performance, and is never short of power. An excellent 7-speed automatic transmission has quick gearshifts and works well with the QX50’s engine, handling and control are impressive for a crossover and steering weighting and feedback are better than many of the QX50’s rivals.
“The 2015 Infiniti QX50 is one of the most engaging small luxury crossovers to drive”
With good handling and a strong V6 engine, the Infiniti QX50 is a powerful crossover with the agility of a sporty sedan. 7-speed transmission and AWD are standard, responses are sharp, acceleration is brisk and the cabin is luxurious. As a five-passenger premium SUV, the QX50 has 18” alloy wheels, dual-zone climate control, cruise control and leather upholstery, as well as heated front seats, a 7-speaker sound system and Bluetooth connectivity for extra comfort in the cabin.
