2016 Infiniti QX50

Infiniti has recently announced U.S. prices for the 2016 QX50 luxury crossover, which goes on sale in this month at Infiniti retailers nationwide. Pricing begins at $34,450 for the rear-wheel drive QX50 and $35,850 for the all-wheel drive QX50.

For 2016, the QX50 includes more than $1,700 worth of added standard features at a more accessible price when compared to the 2015 QX50, along with very attractive value for the high-content option packages.

The Premium Package, for example, is priced at $500 and includes a Bose 11-speaker Premium Audio system, advanced Climate Control System, Maple interior accents, aluminum roof rails and much more. The overall improved value of the well-equipped Premium Package model is approximately $4,500 (RWD), positioning the new QX50 in the heart of the luxury crossover segment.

For 2016, the QX50 wheelbase has been extended by 3.2-inch and overall length has increased 4.5-inch, resulting in 8.3 cubic feet of additional interior volume. Most of the increase in interior space can be felt in the second row. Rear seat legroom grows by 4.3-inch and rear knee room is boosted by 3.9-inch.

Along with increased roominess, the 2016 QX50 features a revised exterior, which borrows design cues from other recent Infiniti models. In addition, ride height has been increased by 0.8-inch for a more SUV-like appearance. The exterior look is further refined by a new design for the available 19-inch wheels. Standard content has also been increased, a moonroof is now included on all grade levels, as are heated seats. A new Hagane Blue exterior color is also now offered.

There aren't any changes in the engine department, so the QX50 is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 with 265 hp at 6,400 rpm and 336 Nm of torque at 4,400 rpm sent to the rear axle or to all four wheels through a continuously variable transmission.

Infiniti will start taking orders for the QX50 luxury crossover later this month.
