I had the opportunity to test the whole range (almost) of Infiniti, including driving with front windscreen blacked out, accelerate and emergency stop, tight multiple turns challenge, including live on the road test.

 

Worth the experience.

 

 

Encourage those who already own and those who is thinking of buying a car to attend.

 

 

I enjoyed myself very much with a great buffett after that.

So you were the dufus who knocked all the damn cones down and got the cone award

 

RIP cones

The final results of the efforts put into this new complicated engine is not very impressive, both in terms of max HP and fuel consumption compared to competitors like X3, XC60 etc.

I took Infiniti QX50 for some ice cream.

 

I joined my journalist last weekend to collect the QX50, and at the same time, we had some ice cream while finding out what this Luxury SUV can do. This is not a professional review. So take my pointers with a pinch of salt ya!

First look for the INFINITI QX50!

 

The Infiniti QX50 really is a luxury SUV.

 

Many people, including me, will not associate Infiniti with luxury. Usually, when it comes to luxury, the Germans will have a more knitted impression with luxurious. Like when you think of buying a quality, long-lasting AA battery, most of the time, I can only think of Energizer.

But that is not the case for Infiniti QX50. This majestic ride does have some fine touches to make the car luxurious. And then it is also equipped with techs that will make you a smarter driver.

Here's are what I like about the QX50 like I like my B&J's, Cherry Garcia.

 

1) Gigantic sunroof.

I am not a big fan of a sunroof; for me, this is optional. But when I seated inside Infiniti QX50, with the sunroof up, the car seems more airy and bigger. It does complement the vehicle very well. It is good to have feature for this sort of car as most probably you are fetching your kids around and the can get to see more at the back.

2) Pull up privacy curtains

I know there is a lot of cars at this price range might have this, but personally I like this a lot. It gives a VIP touch to the rear passenger. Is much like the "Do not disturb" mode on your iPhone. You might no use it so frequently, but it is good to know that you have these features.

3) Pleasantly refined 4-cylinder engine

For those who don't know this yet, the Infiniti QX50 is mated with an all-new VC-Turbo inline-four engine that can generate 268 bhp and 380nm of torque. A very decent pick up for its size. And for those who have driven long enough, you know that usually, an inline-four engine will lose out to v6 engine in-term of refinement due to the imbalance rotation. Usually manufacturers will use a balancing rod inside the engine to help with this imperfection.

 

But after we have driven quite a bit before we settle down for ice cream, we realise that the engine is quite pleasant. So I did my research and understand that there is an "Active Pod System" thatmount within the engine mount that can isolate and dampen engine harshness and noise by counter-balancing the vibrations. I give kudos to Infiniti for this remarkable features. This really add some luxury's points for me.

And for those who wanna find out more about this marvellous VC-Turbo engine, we have a MCF HangOut event on the 24 Aug this month!

4) Matchy sliver wood trim with leather and Alcantara all around the dashboard.

Aiseh, matchy with my iPhone cover! [:p]

5) Four USB port inside the car for many possibilities!

post-137774-0-07979800-1564986701_thumb.jpg

One at the back.

post-137774-0-19970100-1564986724_thumb.jpg

two more at the front centre storage

One more inside the armrest!

 

6) Bose soud system is very decent.

post-137774-0-05691200-1564986743_thumb.jpg

The sound system is really decent. If you are joining the test drive on 24th Aug, remember to give it a blast.

 

7) Aircon Ventilated Seats.

Okay lah, a lot of the cars already have this feature. But I really like it alot. So I will mention here. The front two driver and passenger seats have air-con ventilated seats. Ever imagine before someone keep blowing cold air into your butt? [pirate]

8) The front bumper duct is real!

post-137774-0-28065800-1564986767_thumb.jpg

I think it does helps to cool down the brakes.

 

Alrighty! Here's are my personal opnions of what I like about the Infiniti QX50! If you like what I have just shared you can praise and comment! Let me find some of my thoughts about what are the stuff I dislike and post it here!
