Overview

The 2015 Infiniti QX50 is a proud member of the compact SUV segment, locking horns with cars like the Acura RDX, the Audi Q5, and the BMW X1. Spread across two trims, the 2015 Infiniti QX50 starts off at a base price of MSRP $35,000 and carries on to $38,600. Its 3.7L V6 engine and 7-speed automatic transmission give the SUV 325 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque. With that, it manages a 0-60 of 5.7 seconds and boasts a towing capacity of 3,000 pounds. Moving to fuel economy, the QX50 manages to get a combined EPA rating of 20 MPG, a poor number for the class, giving its rivals an edge. It also has a ground clearance of 5.7 inches.
