First Drive: 2016 Infiniti QX50

One of the main reasons you wouldn't have purchased an Infiniti QX50 (Formerly the EX35), was that the rear-seat legroom bordered on cruel and unusual punishment. Fix that issue and you might just wind up with something enjoyable for those of us who actually like driving their cars and crossovers. Infiniti did just that with the refreshed 2016 QX50, so we trekked down to San Diego to see how it stacks up. Under the hood sits a 325-horsepower 3.7-liter V6 and it can send power out to the rear wheels or through an all-wheel-drive system, depending on which model you opt for. The performance is solid, the styling is lightly updated, and there is now room to sit in that second row. Add in the value proposition for those shopping in the compact luxury crossover segment, and the QX50 might have just bought itself a few more useful years until it needs a full redesign. ---------------------------------- http://www.Hooniverse.com Follow us on Twitter: @TheHooniverse -   / thehooniverse   @JGlucker -   / jglucker   Follow on Instagram: @HooniverseJeff -   / hooniversejeff   Like us on Facebook:   / hooniverse   And please subscribe to this channel, thanks!
