Infiniti QX50

The cabin of the 2024 Infiniti QX50 is spacious compared to most of its rivals. It’s modern and stylish. But the car is beginning to show its age and a more exhaustive upgrade is long overdue. High-quality fabrics adorn the interior with great attention to detail. The round edges and neutral colours make the cabin more relaxing. The windscreen is wide and offers an excellent view of the road. Everything in the cabin is soft-touch. The use of hard plastics is minimal. The touch points feel premium. The leatherette seats come with nice back support. There’s a central armrest on the rear seat. The convincing faux-suede headliner and cabin trim, including the silver-accented maple wood panels, forge a rich and premium feel. The car comes with Infiniti’s dual-screen InTouch multimedia system with an 8.0-inch upper and 7.0-inch lower unit respectively. The menu is mostly straightforward but the setup looks a bit odd. The display is bright but a bit distractive from the driver’s seat.

The styling of the 2024 Infiniti QX50 is rather bold compared to its rivals in the segment. The grille isn’t too big but still manages to forge a bold look.

The entire car gets an aggressive stance because of the firmly planted 19-inch alloy wheels. The QX50 comes with all-round LED lighting. The car has a flowing-down roof design which is pretty common among most crossover SUVs these days. The build quality is solid. The doors are wide and allow easy ingress and egress.

The eight-way power adjustable front seats are supportive without being too snug. The front seats slid all the way back to allow more legroom. The rear seat gets generous amount of legroom and headroom. The sloping down roofline does into the headroom and a tall passenger may find things crammed. But still both rows have adult-friendly space, along with reclining and sliding adjustments for the backseat. The MacPherson front strut and the independent rear multilink rear stabilizer make the car highly manoeuvrable. Bumps and potholes are absorbed like a champ.

The package exudes sporty luxury, but sacrifices on cabin finesse and fuel economy. It’s still a very practical car and is worthy of its price for those hunting for a bit premium crossover-SUV.
