2017 INFINITI QX50 4dr SUV AWD (3.7L 6cyl 7A)
33 of 33 people found this review helpful
I had suffered for years with the exceedingly high annual operating costs of off-warranty European cars, especially BMWs, which are the worst. Being newly retired I wanted a vehicle that was satisfying to drive but wouldn’t cost arms and legs to keep on the road. With one glaring exception, this specific model-year compact SUV is that car. THE BAD: Gas mileage is mediocre at best. I see 18 in non-highway driving and no better than 29 highway, and these figures are achieved only under a somewhat sedate driving style. Anyone pressing the right pedal hard enough to enjoy the awesome 325 hp V6 engine will see that drop, and by a lot! These days mid-sized SUVs get better mileage than that, although they can’t boast the power this car has. Mixed Tech. While its NAV system is still useful (it was WAY ahead of its time when first introduced in 2007) it is not WAZE, which I still use. But it lacks Apple car-play or Android integration, so you’re stuck having to use the smartphone when modern cars would display WAZE on the car’s own screen. THE GOOD: This is a much longer list!! First of all, this was the last year for this model built on its original RWD architecture and the car’s handling match my 2008 BMW 335xi. This is abetted in my specific car which is a ‘fully loaded’ model that has the optional 19” wheels. But unlike that BMW, ride quality is also superb, matching the larger BMW 530xi I also once owned. I’m not sure how Infiniti blended both handling and ride into one car but they did. I prize chassis dynamics above all else and this car does it all! The engine is awesome!! No turbo-lag in this naturally aspirated engine! It does have variable valve timing and lift and so it can re-tune itself to be anything you need it to be. It produces 325 relentless horsepower that pull like a freight train, falling just a smidgen behind that aforementioned 335xi. It’s fierce acceleration is surprising and almost frightening as it seems to accelerate harder the higher the revs rise. And it has no turbocharger(s) that will eventually fail and be very expensive to later replace. This VQ series of engine produced by Nissan have won awards for many years owing to their stout horsepower and reliability. Interior space is more than adequate. A 4” chassis stretch in 2016 added rear seat leg room that allows 6+ footers to ride comfortably in this car. The seats are well formed and comfortable. A keen eye will notice that the bottom seat bolsters are smaller near the center console, so that a hand can fit between them to retrieve the wallet or sunglasses that just dropped there. This is a small but thoughtful detail that you may come to appreciate many times! Behind the back seats you have 18 cu ft of space; as much as any full-sized sedan’s trunk but fold the seats down and now you have 50 cu ft. This increases the utility of this vehicle way beyond any sedan you might choose to replace with it. Real buttons!!! Modern cars have one or even two touch screens that bury common functions under several layers of screen menus. This car has ‘old fashioned’ radio volume and tuning rotary knobs, as well as six station buttons that I frankly prefer. Many other screens can also be instantly accessed via hard buttons conveniently placed in front of the display. Modern safety tech! Being fully loaded, my car has the tech package which includes adaptive headlights, Bird’s-eye view surround camera, BLIS, LDW, LDA, FCA, FCA, Rear traffic cross alert and adaptive cruise. While some of these can sometimes be annoying, they are always a safety advantage. Great interior look and materials! You will know you are not in a Honda or Toyota. It is a premium car and looks and feels that way. Chrome trim on the outside completes the effect. AWD. Infiniti has improved their intelligent AWD over the years and it nearly matches Audi’s Quattro in responsiveness. Yet the car remains a RWD vehicle when AWD is not needed, improving handling and cornering. In short, this is the best all-around vehicle I have ever owned. It combines the best features of many of the European cars I’ve owned with better utility and adequate technology. I love driving it as much as any car I’ve ever owned (well maybe not the stick-shift CTS-V!). Only the relatively poor gas mileage keeps me from giving the car a full five-star rating. Nevertheless, it looks like something I’m going to want to keep for many years to come. It does it all, does it all well enough for my needs! Update 7-29-22 Still holding firm on all of the above. That said, gasoline prices have me side-eyeing SUV hybrids, although limited supply and high prices will likely keep me in the Infiniti for years to come, especially since I drive so much less now that I’m retired. December 30, 2022 No real changes to opinions or future plans. Still love driving it every day, and now that gas prices are back down (and dropping) my interest in hybrid SUVs has dropped in concert. I’m only at 46k miles at the moment, relatively nothing for modern cars and so have many more years of high-satisfaction driving ahead. My wife’s car, the 2019 QX50, while an entirely different car based on a FWD platform, might be the only model I might wish to replace it with. What Infiniti really needs to do is appropriate some of the hybrid/electric technology from its parent company Nissan to offer a more gas-efficient model that’s still an Infiniti!

This SUV offers a great smooth ride and accelerates better than any car I've owned, including other luxury cars. I had hoped to own it for many years but I am highly disappointed in some things that are important to me that will prevent me from keeping the car. The fuel economy does not exist, the SUV is a gas guzzler and in a time of fuel efficiency, it's really poor. The navigation system is the absolute worse. You can't see the current traffic status unless you set/enter a destination, that's so 90's. Just to simply drive to work/home you cannot observe current traffic, so I'm stuck using Google Maps or Waze on my phone after spending nearly $2k for navigation. You can't get Bluetooth without the navigation pkg., and you must have a Sirius XM package for the system to work, again this is archaic. Only 1 USB port, and all information is in a list which is incredibly unsafe & a huge distraction so you can't use it while driving. The directional compass is a tiny arrow, you never know what direction is N,W, S or E without searching while driving for the arrow. There is no power button for the trunk, there are no cup/bottle holders in the doors and the duel cup holders in the center console are too small for more than one cup at a time and it blocks the gear shift!

I consider this a good point as it gives me lots of flexibility, and i don't need a large vehicle with massive cargo. It is still an unusual vehicle, and knowing the gas consumption, you are silly to buy it if that is a primary concern. I know in the past I have gotten better than rated mileage on this particular engine/setup (3.7L, 7 speed auto) as it has been very responsive with a feather touch on the gas, and I have a lead foot. I call it more a Sport Sedan Utility Hatchback, than a full fledged SUV. Remember hatchbacks? They had a higher cargo area you could expand if you needed to haul things around that were odd sizes, like a bicycle. the cargo area is a really good size by my standards, but smaller than some I have seen, but you could still carry quite a bit. As far as the packages, which were mentioned in the Edmunds review, they come pretty well loaded for a $35,000 SUV (the base, RWD model). I added the premium and premium plus packages for the upgraded radio, navigation, and several other features. The premium Pkg is $500, the Premium Plus is $1,000, but requires the Premium Package. I also got, just because it was closest to what I wanted, the 19" wheel package for $800. Pretty cheap as far as packages go. The babysitting tools and other things I had no interest in are in the Technology Package, which has an awful lot of stuff in it for $2,000, including all the babysitting tools. That covers ALL the packages offered. The only other things are little accessories (most you won't need), and of course I wanted AWD. As far as the engine, I would gladly take the V-6 over many of the turbocharged competitors, and it happens to be a very reliable V-6 at that. I will be extremely sad to see it go from most infiniti vehicles in place of turbocharging, and the totally new engine for 2019 for this car. I sat in the back seat to try it out, and pushed the front seat farther back than I usually use it (I am 5'9") and found the rear seat not a bad place to be for two adults (I would not ever put an adult in the middle because of the hump in the floor for the drivetrain), but the back seat has it own heat vents (under the seat) and a/c vents that can be turned off and adjusted (back of the center console). I actually found the navigation really easy to use and input addresses, as well as to control other settings for the car. And I LOVE that the Radio and climate controls are separate (though you can also use the unit for the radio or the steering wheel. As far as bluetooth, yes, it does work for voice and for audio media, you just need to make sure it is set for both, otherwise it will only search for voice bluetooth systems. As far as driving, as I said before, there is tons of power, a sport driving mode, and manual shift on the stick, not on the wheel. Personally, considering how little I shift an automatic manually, they are more a hindrance than help on the wheel. I don't think it matters for everyday driving, but I have AWD. I have taken corners faster than I probably should have given it is a slightly higher center of gravity, and it drives very well on curvy roads as well as the highway. Since it is not the fastest selling of Infiniti's vehicles, you can often get a great deal on them, and unless you need more room than a compact vehicle will provide (again, remember it is compact) will provide or fuel economy is a huge priority for you, I say definitely test it and buy it if it suits your needs. Infiniti dealers are giving darned good discounts. I would say, depending on level of equipment (they max out around $45,000 MSRP), you can save $5,000 to $8,000 off sticker without much haggling. I saved $7,000, plus got an infiniti Loyalty Rebate good for another (I think) $1,000, and i really did not haggle.... I picked a car, and the saleswoman went and came back with the best price, then added the rebate, and I said great. So keep that in mind when comparing "sticker prices"... they will come down on them quite a bit especially now while they still have 2017 on lot and know 2018 is last year before major changes.

Amalgamated old-school Perfection

2017 INFINITI QX50 4dr SUV AWD (3.7L 6cyl 7A)
28 of 29 people found this review helpful
Just bought the last year model (2017) of the J50 version of the QX50. Fully loaded with under 33k miles. The J50 chassis is fundamentally a RWD platform with longitudinal engine; the time-proven setup for athletic handling, the ‘driver’s choice’. The newer QX50 J55 chassis (2019+) follows the crowd by switching to a FWD layout with a transverse (sideways) engine. This ‘old’ car has a naturally aspirated and very powerful V6 engine, the new one a turbo-charged four enhanced with the additional mechanical complexity of variable compression; also amply powered but so far not noticeably more efficient. This old one has a proper 7-spd automatic transmission, the new one has today’s requisite CVT that sometimes doesn’t know what it should be doing. How do I know all this? I just bought this ‘old’ one, whereas my wife had just gotten a first-year J55 QX50 a month earlier. Both cars are just about fully loaded with all the important technology. My wife’s 2019 has some extra goodies I wish mine had, especially the heads-up display. Prior to this I’ve owned two Audis, four BMWs, a 2004 Cadillac CTS-V, an Infiniti G35x (2007), and a Lexus ES300h hybrid. This 2017 Infiniti QX50 is an amalgamation of the best qualities of all of these vehicles with the oft-noted exception of its mediocre gas mileage (a hybrid it’s not!). This car handles and rides as good as any of my BMWs did and better than the Lexus, although it’s ultimate handling limits are beneath the German cars’ (only important if you take your cars to the track). It accelerates with nearly the kind of ferocity the CTS-V was known for but carves corners even better. Finally, it has better cargo carrying flexibility, seats up or down, than any of them, even though some competitors offer even more. Technology wise, it’s voice-guided nav system was so far ahead of its time in 2007 that it’s still more then adequate fourteen years later and does everything you would want it to. That said I wish it had Apple CarPlay so I could use Waze which is frankly superior to any car’s built in system; Infiniti didn’t incorporate that into the QX50 until its 2020 model year. My car has the top-shelf Bose system which I would put in the top 10% of car audio systems, but it’s definitely not a Lexus Mark Levinson system which is top 2%. And unlike some of my prior cars, it has AWD which makes it more practical year-round in sometimes snowy SE PA. In short, it has gathered together the best qualities of all of the cars I’ve enjoyed in the past, however this time they’re delivered with Japanese quality, reliability and low cost of ownership that some of those other manufacturers sadly are not known for. And BTW, I’ve been getting about 18 mpg in non-highway driving and 29 on the highway, which isn’t horrible considering the performance the car is capable of. I will add though, that however successful Infiniti was at combining all of those virtues into a single vehicle, the resulting styling and form somewhat missed the mark and took a long time to get used to. I initially did not not turn and look over my shoulder at the car the same way I did my Bimmers, the CTS-V or even the Lexus. Those cars had a narrower purpose which simplified their designers’ missions and influenced the purity of their shapes. This QX50 is to cars what a platypus is to ducks and beavers or, as others have called it, a clown shoe on wheels. In fairness though, I can’t think of any SUV-like vehicle that would inspire that old kind of passion, so this isn’t a real hit against the QX50. If you can tolerate mediocre mpg, but otherwise would appreciate actual ‘sport’ with your ‘utility’, this last of its kind cross-over hits the mark in a way that only sports sedans usually do, but with practicality thrown in for good measure. Seating for four six-footers is finally comfortable in the 2016/2017 models, fit and finish are Japanese precise, and materials satisfy luxury expectations. The 7" display is smaller than most today but still gets the job done. Actual push buttons for climate and radio controls (which I prefer) live below it and so the smalIer screen serves its more limited purpose very well. I have the 19” wheels which sharpen the cornering with so sacrifice to ride comfort. Initially I thought that I couldn’t see myself replacing this car for a good many years not only because it scratches almost every automotive itch I have, but also because it’s the last of a dying breed that they literally won’t make any more. UPDATE 4/2/2021 I love it even more, so much so that even its looks have finally grown on me. That said, non-highway mpg dropped to 17.8 over the winter and is a dismal 13.8 just puttering around my neighborhood; that’s horrible for a vehicle its size. My wife’s newer QX50 manages 18.6 on the same circuit, proving that Infiniti’s industry-first variable-compression engine is no joke. But I do so love its power and chassis dynamics. I imagine that only a Porsche SUV might satisfy as well. Still, I confess to wondering if I’d like a plug-in hybrid... But I’m most likely going to continue enjoying this car’s unique combination of dynamic performance and utility for some time to come! UPDATE 10/2/21; Still loving it, but starting to look at SUV hybrids…you know, climate change and all… UPDATE April 4, 2022 Given the issue of climate change and also high gas prices in the era of ‘Putin’s War’ on Ukraine, my 2020 hindsight tells me I should have stayed with the Lexus hybrid! I was a fool to have sold a car that on multiple occasions got over 50 mpg on the highway and routinely got 36+ mpg around town while sacrificing nothing to gas cars in normal driving. Because I’m now retired for two years, and driving less (especially after two years of Covid confinement), and especially because used car prices are ridiculously priced these days, I’m not searching in Ernest for a replacement for my QX50 and still love driving it. But I’m equally convinced that when things settle down again, I will be shopping for an EV or some hybrid type again. As time moves on, he car’s appetitive for fossil fuels has eroded its old school appeal for me! UPDATE 10/4/2022 I still have it, still love it, and am only casually sniffing around for a plug-in hybrid. New and used car prices are so high these days that there’s not yet a practical reason for me to switch because I’m only driving about 5k miles per year now. Plus, the older cars that might cross the practicality barrier are often the small, cheap model variants that have fewer tech options and zero luxury appeal. I’m not willing to give that last thing up either just for saving maybe a few hundred dollars per year in gas, and the luxury PHEV cars are just way too expensive. So I can see myself easily keeping this car for another two or three years (and loving it)! UPDATE 4-4-23 Drove a Toyota RAV4 Hybrid the other day. Bigger and roomier, and adequate performance, but disappointing interior and bland vehicle dynamics. So that car is off my list. Still smiling in my QX50!!!

Our family needed a SUV, I searched from internet got a lot of quotes but none of them really reached my attention. Then I saw the QX50, I looked at the car reviews and they said they were pretty good. So I went to the Infiniti dealer and test drove it. It was amazing, It was fast, smooth and drives excellent! The dealer gave me a excellent cheap price that was below my budget so I bought it. My wife and kids love it and so do I. I put 7k miles and it's been a year and so far so good with no problems. I would recommend this for families that are looking for a cheap luxe crossover.

Sleeper sport sedan in a compact SUV body. Better than expected mileage on highway, expected mileage around town. I drive alot and the seats are awesome! Seat heater gets so hot, you can’t keep it on high! Handles great, excellent feel for road, all controls and seats still feel like new inside. Still in original set of tires, upkeep is nothing(oil change at dealer is $42, Used to pay $85 almost 13 yrs ago for my Audi!) Not a single repair yet or recall. Fit teenagers and adults in back seat no problem. Cargo storage small but it has been fine for all my needs. Only downsides (cupholders small and the technology phone voice dial is antiquated). That being said the blue tooth connects great and the mic is super clear. Never any complaints from people on quality of hearing me on calls. Car was manufactured in Japan, have no reason to believe this car won’t make it to 200k miles with very little trouble!

I own a 2017 Infiniti QX 50 midnight garnet color with the wheat interior aluminum black inlay I decided to upgrade from my 2014 Honda accord sedan. I am so glad that I did this vehicle is my first SUV and it's the perfect size for me to drive. Enjoy driving this luxury classy SUV. I have the V6 3.7 base model which has everything I want it at the price I wanted to pay and yes it does have a 6 speaker Bose system. Very comfortable ride in the driver seat passenger and the backseat is very roomy and comfortable The storage area in the back is small but I'm fine with that I highly recommend the Infiniti QX 50. All the interior details are great. July 12, 2020 I'm still enjoying my QX50

All black 2017, got it off lease in early 2020. After driving fun, quick turbo sports sedans like BMW 335i and Subaru 2.5 GT, I have found the perfect all around vehicle in my QX50 Deluxe Touring/ Premium Package. Now 46k miles and nothing but basic maintenance. 0-60 5.5 seconds, awd with rear wheel bias, excellent handling, road feel and heavy responsive steering make it a car for driving enthusiasts. I've driven the new 2021, hating the cvt and the soft ride and less precise steering. If your biggest concern are mpg and cup holders, go elsewhere. If you are a driver who loves performance and feel, you will not be disappointed. So much for a good price. I wish it had paddle shifters but sport shift mode works well. It is much more a sport sedan wagon than an suv. I will keep this car for years and may even drop the ride height with some coilovers to make it even more aggressive in the twisties. Can't say enough about what a great sleeper pick is this QX50. I wouldn't own the new model unless I was a soccer mom or much older.

Traded in my 2016 Murano for a 2017 QX50 with all options. My Murano was just an S class with no luxury items. The QX50 is so much more vehicle. It handles incredible and is very responsive. Gas mileage wasnt a big concern because I don't drive much and the difference between 2-3 miles per gallon doesn't alter my decision. Super comfortable and very stylish. I'd put it up against the Porsche Cayenne or Macon any day. Don't need the german alternatives because I don't need the expensive maintenance. The QX50 is a head turner and very sleek for a compact SUV. I believe I will own this vehicle for quite a few years! The only thing I've done in two years is change the oil. I don't drive it much but when I do, it's a joy. There have been NO issues with this vehicle.

This is the most wonderful vehicle I've ever owned. Couldn't justify putting any more money into my BM*TroubleU*. Found this trade in at an Infiniti dealer. Love at first sight. Comfort, features, power, build quality and POWER..........the only thing missing is a heated steering wheel, but you don't get everything you want in life. My only caution is that, like a BMW, you feel every bump in the road. That's not to everyone's liking.

I’ll start by disclosing that we were driving a 2010 Infiniti EX35 with 120,000 miles and loved it so much we just just wanted to get a newer version. However, this car is more than simply a newer model. It has speed, agility, and style, along with a lot of fun high-tech bells and whistles. It has the comfort of a large sedan with an SUV feel - the ultimate crossover. I love the tech features - the blind spot monitor, the lane change prevention, the crash assist. For the first week, I did not understand all the beeps I was hearing, but now I rely on them. All in all, a great purchase of a great car.

I started with a 2016 Black on Black With Every Package but the Technology Loved It then Boom old lady hit me broadside at around 30MPH left me tell you the safest car I have ever owned walked away without a scratch. QX50 #2 2014 Gray on Black With All 4 Packages Rode Rough it sit lower and is Shorter hated it so traded for my 3rd 2017 Gray on Black only the Premium & Premium Plus Packages all I need and my first just RWD live in Tx no big need for AWD and I do get about 2MPG more the Ride is Great on the 19’s love it like my 2016. I don’t drive but 6k a year this one only has 60,000 miles I should get a good 10 years out of her. Bought with New Battery, 4 New Rotors/Pads & a Set of New Tires so I am set for years. I love the 3.7V6 not having 2 Turbo’s is 2 less things to break its Fast running a Thorton Tuning Chip stage 3 93 Octane 0-60 in 4.8 and a set of K&N Filters. Another big thing this SUV is not Classified as a SUV it’s Classified as a Sport Wagon so Insurance is about 35% Cheaper then let’s say a BMW X1-X5 even with the V6 she has. I have seen a many QX50’s with well over 150k miles still running strong and Built in Japan. So if you want a Fast We’ll Made that Handles like a Sports Car can’t go wrong with the Infinity QX50. On a side note only other Infinity I tried to find was a FX50 that 390HP 5.0V8 and only made a whole 12,000 Units from 09-13 was let’s say I just went back to what I liked lol.

Here’s my buying history w/ Nissan Motors: 71 Datsun 240Z, 1999 Pathfinder, 2001 Pathfinder, 2003 FX35, 2010 EX, 2012 EX35, 2014 Murano, 2017 QX50 … loved them all! All but two of those cars have the very reliable 3.5L V6 … the old Datsun had a straight 6 and the QX50 has a 3.7L V6 w/ 325 HP. The 2017 QX50 is the last Ex/QX model w/ the 6 cyl that started in 2008 … so the mfg has had 9 years to tweak the engine. Yea, it’s thirsty at 20 mpg but I like the power and the way it drives like a sports car. MPG is less important if you drive less than 10k miles a year. Plenty of cargo space for a couple … not so much for traveling w/ a family. If reliability, looks, comfort and handling are important to you, you can’t go wrong. Take a test drive … you’ll love it too!

I bought my QX50 with 12k miles...it was a "condo" car down here in Florida. It handles great, has awesome pick up out of the hole with its dynamic 325 hp V6. As expected, that comes with less than average fuel economy. The cargo space is limited but I use it for work and don't require a lot of storage. I agree with what many reviews have said about the front cop holders--they/were useless given their size and being too deep. But, I found a small latch that actually flips down a lip and curves the depth problem and now accompanies two cups/drinks. The rest of the interior is very upscale for a vehicle at this price point. The Bose stereo system is awesome, the seats are comfortable, and the dash is laid out nicely. Given it styling, I really like to think of it as a sedan sport utility vehicle. A word of advice, use premium fuel as the specs state--its performance is much better with it. I would recommend it to anyone.

With only 3 weeks of ownership, I can't really tell what's good and what's bad. I do know if your are short in stature. hooking the seat belt is almost impossible. I have already used a pull and have an extension ordered. The tailgate is another problem. It is so high, I can't reach it. I am waiting for the dealer to install a pull. The 50QX fulfills my dream of making my last car a luxury one.

Other than the cup holder being on the small side I can find nothing I don’t like about this vehicle,The engine is amazing,Very easy to be speeding and not realize it,Handling with the 19” tires feels stuck to the road on curves,Just love going out joy riding,2017 was the qx50 best year for quality and zero recalls,Just love this vehicle.

Japanese Quality- Made in Japan

The last of the Infiniti SUVs still made assembled and shipped from Japan. Not saying there are issues with mexico but this vehicle has Jewel like assembly. Hood seams so tight you can roll a bear. This quality is apparent throughout. Seat stitching that is perfect there are no loose threads. Paint is 5 of 5. No panels are misshaped, the engine is a marvel of bottom end grunt. Gas, who cares if you buy a luxury vehicle You're going to whine about high insurance and spending a couple bucks at the gas pump? Buy a Toyota. Cost of ownership for this vehicle is nil. The 20 gallon tank takes me nearly all the way from San Francisco to Las Vegas I don't get gas until past LA. 20 gallon tank. I've had it this QX50 for going on 5 years and it's not my primary driver. The other car in the garage is a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Which is a 2014. There is no comparison while the horsepower numbers are similar this Infiniti would torch the Grand Cherokee. My WK gets the same mileage as the Infinity with a V8 engine in the WK. This is very much a performance vehicle. The twin air intakes means you have to buy twin air filters so that can be a little pricey but you have to let this engine breathe. The original tires they were Bridgestone potenzas. These tires were garbage. I think I ditched them about 5,000 mi into the first year of ownership. I installed Michelin AS4 all season pilots. This thing handles like an MG through the turns with the pilots installed. Night and Day difference in handling. The all-wheel drive insurers that a heavy foot in loose surface will stay under control. Although it could be easy to get away from you with that kind of torque the all-wheel drive and stability control will pull you out of the worst road conditions. The Michelin pilots aired up to about 45 PSI stability control off and using the sport shifter it can be very gratifying. Storage is non-existent you can find those tack on knit bags and attach those to the center console for your phone and it leaves your center console uncluttered. The craftsmanship on the center console and the fit and finish are par excellence. You could spend a day inside there with a microfiber polishing all the little accents. The stock battery has lasted me well past 5 years It's just I don't drive it much so I have had to replace the battery with optima a red top.
Great suv

326 hp in a mid size awd SUV that handles and rides like a sport sedan with all the bells and whistles !! Mechanically sound, no issues. Only thing I wish it had was a power lift gate.

This is the worst car I have ever owned. Basic amenities you find in a lesser vehicle are not found on a QX 50. Entrance lights to illuminate the outside are only on the driver side. No one never enters in the dark on the passenger side? The cup holders are useless. You can only fit one cup in it and hope that the liquid inside does not spill because they are so cheap. No automatic lift gate. No way to stop the review mirrors from turning down when backing up. The back up camera is not clear and gives you a distorted view of objects. No sensors to let you know when you are approaching something from the rear. The only good thing about this car is engine performance and most importantly, I will be getting rid of it in 24 months, 8 days and 12 hours. DO NOT BUY THIS CAR! Worst mistake I ever made

Excellent vehicle for my daughter, heading off to college. It's a smaller size SUV, with car-like handling. Powerful engine, although not very miserly on the gas consumption. She's very happy with it.
