In answer to the clear question about the Infiniti QX50, yes, they nevertheless make it. Formerly identified as the EX35, it was genuinely one particular of the very first luxury crossovers—it debuted back in 2008—but in spite of the soaring reputation of the category, the EX35-cum-QX50 has been all but invisible on American roads. Perhaps the QX50 is also significantly of a hatchback and not sufficient of an SUV. Or possibly the anemic sales (which are bouncing along at about 200 units per month) are due to the QX50’s cramped rear quarters.
Infiniti should be hoping it’s the latter, simply because it is adding 3.2 inches to the wheelbase of the QX50. Truly, the surgery has currently been done—on the Chinese-industry version, which has been out for the previous 6 months or so. The new, longer QX will not arrive right here until this fall, as a 2016 model.

The wheelbase stretch adds a claimed 4 inches of extra rear legroom, and a bit more cargo space as properly. Interestingly, it has small evident influence on the car’s styling, which appears hardly changed from the present model.
Nor are any significant mechanical alterations as component of the 2016 update. Which implies the identical, 325-hp, 3.7-liter V-6 and 6-speed automatic must continue, with a decision of rear-or 4-wheel drive.
In the absence of any other modifications, will the further inches be sufficient to raise this model’s stature? Frankly, that appears like a quite tall order.
