This is a sports car masked as a crossover or smaller SUV. It handles like my former BMW 335i coupe, but with much more room. The technology is very good, with an amazing camera system named Birdseye view. You can see entirely around the car and when you pull into a parking space you can simply push the camera button and see everything around you, including what's in front of you. The interior is very upscale and the technology is simple to learn. It is much easier that my former BMW and the Mercedes E350 that we currently own. Everything works great including Bluetooth, navigation, phone, voice control and temp control. The gas mileage is not great at about 21 mixed and 24 to 25 on the highway, however, we were looking for performance with luxury options, not an underpowered vehicle with a boxy appearance. This vehicle has styling and turns heads with a flashy dual exhaust and a throaty yet refined sound when you start out or get on it. 0 to 60 is in the low 5's, and passing gear is smooth and powerful. Inside is spacious, especially the back seat with the added space, new in 2016. We are very pleased so far and by reading reviews, we expect maintenance costs to be very low. Lastly, a deeper center console box is needed along with a USB port on the dash instead of in the center console box.

A sports car marketed as an SUV

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.

Love my 2016 Infiniti QX50

I have loved driving the QX50. It has a 3.7 liter, 6 cylinder engine and automatic transmission. Lots of power!! Not the best gas mileage, but that's to be expected with this kind of performance. (The newer QX50 models have a 4 cylinder engine with CVT transmission which I did not like at all.) The interior is nice looking and roomy -- very comfortable leather seats. This is the first time I have ever leased a car, and would buy it at the end of my lease (which is coming up), but the residual price is too high! I have seen this same car for sale at a lower price. Infiniti will not do anything to encourage me to buy this car so I will just turn it in in a couple of months. Boo!!!

NO RUN FLAT TIRES. Otherwise, it is like my G37 with a slightly different body. I would have also bought a QX30 if it came with an manual transmission and regular tires.

Love the car, handling, comfort and style are luxurious. Has a major flaw, sunroof drains will flood and ruin the electronics. The first time this happened drivers side flooded wiping out the electronics for the camera. The car was under warranty and the dealer blamed leaves clogging the drains and wanted to charge me $2200 to repair and replace the drains. When I asked my my service advisor about how to keep leaves out of the drains he smugly remarked, "carry a cover with you and cover the car when you expect rain". Really? That's what I call Luxury! Do a search, these and the Q50's have a seal on the firewall for the sunroof drains that goes bad and causes water to enter. Dealers quote was to repair all the drains and electronics and when I fought them they finally agreed to do it under warranty. Well 1 year later and out of warranty the passenger side is now flooded. Original quote was to replace all but they only replaced the bad one on the drivers side. Check out other used models and smell the mold. Dealers are no better than regular dealers and for the money I think I'll go back to Ford, at least the parts are cheaper and the service writers not so smug. Update: Traded car in while the insane new car market was high. My experience with the dealer and the poor design of the sunroof drains (I love a sunroof) I will never purchase an Infinity again.
