It’s not an easy thing standing out in the compact luxury SUV segment, where competition is fierce. The Infiniti QX50 features elegant styling and innovative technology, such as a variable-compression, turbocharged 2.0-litre engine that maximizes either performance or fuel economy depending on the situation. It generates 268 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, which is distributed to all four wheels. A sportier or electrified variant is still missing from the lineup.
