2017 INFINITI QX50

There are vehicles that come out every year that people both love and hate. One of the most loved vehicles of 2016 was the INFINITI QX50. In fact, the vehicle topped the list of most loved vehicles of 2016 according to Bloomberg. The INFINITI QX50 is the second smallest in the line of SUVs that INFINITI offers and over the past year, sales for the vehicle increased by 272 percent. INFINITI is Nissan’s luxury brand and they have really put themselves on the map. With such a large increase, just what made people purchase it more in 2016?

Luxury Without the Price Tag

Everyone wants a luxury vehicle but not everyone can afford one. INFINITI has changed all of that by providing a luxury line of vehicles with a much lower price tag. The 2016 model starts at just $35,445 MSRP making it about half the cost of a true luxury vehicle. People are loving the fact that they can get a luxury vehicle that performs similarly to the ones released by Porsche or Mercedes-Benz by only paying a fraction of the cost. For people who cannot afford luxury vehicles of that caliber, the INFINITI QX50 is a great option. Not only is it a good price when you purchase but it stands to have a wonderful resale value, making it a good investment for many reasons.

The Right Size

Another big reason why the INFINITI QX50 was so popular in 2016 was that it is the right size. The size of the SUV is one that people want to purchase these days. It is not too small or too big. However, you do have options if you want to get something a bit smaller or bigger because INFINITI offers a total of four SUVs and this one is the second smallest in the lineup. This year, INFINITI also added some interior legroom for passengers. The SUV was lengthened by almost four inches and you can see that legroom in the rear seats, making it more comfortable for passengers than ever before.

Sporty Driving Dynamics

Just because it is an SUV does not mean that it cannot be sporty as well. This is just another reason why people love the INFINITI QX50. It is an SUV with plenty of cargo space but it also looks and acts sporty with sporty curves that make up the exterior design and a roaring engine. The sporty driving dynamics can be attributed to the naturally aspirated V6 and the rear-wheel drive. It sounds great and it even works well with the 7-speed automatic transmission. It isn’t completely sporty but it is just enough to get a heart going.

The 2016 model of the INFINITI QX50 was extremely impressive and we can only expect that the 2017 model will have some great upgrades that buyers can enjoy. Stop by our showroom to test drive the most loved vehicle of 2016 and see for yourself what makes it so special.
