Infiniti’s QX50 small crossover enters the 2022 model year with a number of additional features included as standard, though there’s still only the one powertrain and it’s hardly what you’d call exciting or even premium.
The current QX50 was introduced for the 2019 model year and for 2022 has been joined by a more coupe-like cousin, dubbed the QX55. The QX55 is the model to get if looks are a priority, though if it’s space you’re after then it’s best to stick with the QX50 and its regular crossover shape.
The new model year sees the QX50 gain wireless Apple CarPlay and parent company Nissan’s ProPilot driver-assist system as standard. Android Auto is also included but requires a cable.
ProPilot can be used during single-lane travel on selected highways. It still requires driver monitoring, thus ranking it at Level 2 on the SAE scale of self-driving capability. It keeps the vehicle centered in its lane and also handles the gas and brake.
Infiniti also includes multiple safety-related driver-assist features as standard. The list includes handy items like blind spot warning, lane departure warning, emergency braking with pedestrian detection, and rear cross traffic alert.
