Amalgamated old-school Perfection

Doobster6, 09/30/2020
2017 INFINITI QX50
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!!!
