This is a great car priced thousands below the competition. This is our third EX/QX50, and we bought this one for the technology package, and the extra 4 inches in length. The car has not disappointed. You are essentially getting the equivalent of a fully equipped Porsche Macan at essentially half the price. The 0-60 time is just short of the Porsche Cayman. The reviewers are critical of the cramped cabin, outside visibility, dated interior styling and the package pricing. To them I say do they criticize Porsche over a cramped cabin and outside visibility? Have they ever attempted to build a Porsche online, where seemingly even the steering wheel is extra? Package pricing should be a welcome addition. To me simple is better, and that includes the interior styling and lack of complexity. In the QX50, you can actually turn on the radio, and change the volume and the station with one push of the button - how novel. And in comparison with the same class of vehicle, where is the consideration of cost and reliability? This car is not perfect. It now needs a power lift gate and better fuel economy, and the Navigation System needs to work better. We use our $400 Garmin Nuvi instead of the Nav. Also, the power rear seats are a joke. But, all in all, a great car, which we would/and have bought again in a heartbeat. Somehow, Nissan, having been in this segment since the beginning, has not marketed this vehicle correctly, and that is a shame. We’ve since acquired a 2017 which had to be ordered from Japan because the specific color and packages were not available.

Great small SUV. Fantastic engine and handles like a sports sedan. Very comfortable and plenty big for my needs. Drove the BMW X1 and was completely underwhelmed. This handles better and felt faster - no comparison on the interior......BMW felt cheap. For the money nothing can touch this level of performance and comfort. Only negative is the gas mileage but it is "premium recommended" not "required".....

I came out of an Acura RDX and truth be told, this car has it all over the Acura which was cheap all the way. The QX50 is small, so small that you cannot fit two coffee cups in the cup holder at the same time. Size aside its relatively comfortable on trips, the mileage is ok and it drives well, plenty of power and the handling is a strong point. Had it for part of a winter and its pretty good in the snow. Now for the down side: The blue tooth is poor. We have iPhone 6s and the integration is not good at all. If you google this issue with infiniti there are pages and pages of complaints about problems with iPhone integration. Given that there a billion iphones out there, pretty strange. In addition, the voice transmission is poor, very noisy even when you have 4 or 5 bars. The GPS is adequate at best and frustrating at times, to the point where I use my phone and google maps. No data available in addresses that come up in the search menu, that sort of thing, if you abbreviate street or avenue, sometimes it works, sometimes you have to spell out the word, again, not what you expect from a car that touts itself as a luxury suv. Again, its an OK car but, the devil is in the detail and Infiniti needs to work on some of the amenity type things that get under peoples skin. The price was right, the dealer did a good job preparing the car and they treat you very well when you return for service with free loaners etc. All in all, its fine but, some issues for sure

Considered all the competition but came back to the 2016 Infiniti QX50. Wanted a strong V6 not a turbo 4 banger (Long Term Reliability!). Seems many are complaining about gas mileage. With just 2,500 miles I am able to get around 16 MPG in town and a solid 26.5 MPG on the highway. Achieved a high of 28.2 MPG on a recent trip. I am using lighter Mobil 1 5W-20 so this may help slightly in the mileage. Great vehicle and value. My regrets is lack of an auto lift gate on the rear also lack of Apple or Android Auto.

I have been looking for a good used Crossover I test drove just about everything out there. I finally decided on the QX50 it’s super quick handles great and everything inside and out seems to be made well. After 2 months of looking I found a 2016 with 51k miles one owner clean Carfax and Every Package available from Carvana for 25k Black on Black with 19inch Wheels. Easiest Car buying experience that I have ever had. So I am Super Happy. On another note Insurance is not bad I am 44 with a clean record 1700.00 per year with a 250 deductible .
