Automotive journalists report that the 2015 Infiniti QX50 has agile handling and performs similarly to a sport sedan. They note that the QX50 accelerates quickly and has strong brakes and responsive steering. However, some say its ride quality can be a bit too firm.
Powering the QX50 is a 325-horsepower, 3.7-liter V6 engine, which is mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission. With an EPA-estimated 17/25 mpg city/highway, the 2015 QX50 earns some of the lower fuel economy estimates in the class. However, the QX50 is also more powerful than models like the Acura RDX and the base Audi Q5.
Test drivers say the QX50’s V6 never lacks power and delivers authoritative acceleration. Reviewers also write that the 2015 QX50's transmission produces fluid, responsive shifts, though others say that on spirited drives, some competitors' transmissions offer better performance.
The 2015 QX50 offers sharp, car-like handling and maneuvers confidently around corners, reviewers say. The QX50's communicative steering and strong brakes also impress test drivers. However, most critics say that the Infiniti QX50's ride can be overly firm, especially when equipped with 19-inch wheels. The QX50 comes standard with rear-wheel drive, while all-wheel drive is optional.
