It looks beautiful. But for 53K for a CVT? No way. I’d easily get the Acura RDX. I really wanted your review to be good for this one. I’m hoping Infiniti can turn it around. It does crack me up that people say they like the dual screens and people hated Acura for doing that.
GV70 is the definition of luxury
@@dioralcide8490 No. Genesis doesn’t define luxury. It has no heritage and no record. Not saying it’s not a great suv but it’s not the definition.
@@dioralcide8490 you're an overnight Genesis fanboy. We get it. But this is an Infiniti video review. Go praise Hyundai in a Hyundai/ Genesis video review
Very surprised that it has 8.6 inches of ground clearance. I think a 8 or 9 speed auto would've been a way smarter move for Nissan here. I was hoping for more a difficult test in the snow just to see what the limits are for the AWD system
Review I watched before this had no complaints with the drive or the engine. I think some reviewers are just cvt prejudice. I say test drive it and make your own judgment
Smart thinking Ryan about not handing the press car back scratched up. We all know there was another TH-cam auto channel that decided to destroy a Subaru deep off road. The best part was them getting mad and trash taking Subaru for years after because Subaru didn’t trust them with another car. Not all auto journalists are created equal, so I enjoy watching the good ones when I find them.
Hmmmm I know them
Who
@@flippypippy1851 TFL car
in my opinion you sure worry a lot about screeens and how long they take to find starbucks.iam not a techie person screens are the least things i worry about.
A very elegant car inside out but with some serious flaws that are hard to overlook at this price,
Looks absolutely gorgeous sounds good too
Sharp design! Hopefully newest Nissan interior design trends will be applied here soon which would be amazing. Nissan' AWD control is amazing. I own a Rogue Sport and it has done marvels for me.
I do love the interior and exterior
Ryan, probably no one else cares about what I'm going to say: we both like Subarus and grunge (I've just seen the PJ's Ten album on the radio and the AIC album Dirt on another video on your channel) ✌️Excellent review, as always!!
Honestly it looks really good,
I stopped after I heard CVT.
Hahahahahhaha
Ryan, A question will be followed by a suggestion. A year ago many wondered whether Infiniti would still be around in 2022. Has the future of Infiniti become more.... infinite? In regard to your black baseball cap, if budgetary considerations permit it, would it be possible to wear a white cap when the headliner is black and vice-versa? Even with a 5 K screen it is impossible to see rear headroom when cap and headliner are the same color
I was the Raider driver that talked your ear off that day. I was wondering if you had tried to go as far as the RR grade/trail. You made it look easy, nice driving.
Ah, thanks for posting. It was nice to meet you out there.
@@drivingsports PS, I can't remember what day I saw you up there so I might have already mentioned it: But on Feb 6 I pulled a Rivian R1T out that had gotten stuck at that trail crossing (took a couple of pictures 😁). So the snow there was no joke.
Either luxury no longer means what it used to mean or standard brands have caught up and made up the difference. This doesn’t look that much posher than their Nissan or non luxury competition. Exterior design is Mercedes’ inspired. Thst grille and Lexus has got to go.
I’ve heard racing game from 1995 with more convincing engine sounds.
It’s nice design
Sharp Infiniti! Probably the best looking compact crossover but the reliability is my biggest issue.
As much as Infiniti lost its original level, it is still way more reliable than any European junk, like BMW or MB or even Volvo.
@M "Volvo is Chinese. No longer European."
- Volvo Cars is a Swedish multinational manufacturer of luxury vehicles headquartered in Torslanda, Gothenburg. -
Parent organizations: Geely, Volvo Personvagnar Holding AB, Volvo Car
"reliability" compared to what? All vehicles now are highly reliable especially when it comes to powertrains. I had an Infiniti Q50 '14. It was considered "less reliable", but that was based on infotainment which was slow to load. I put 120,000 miles on it and it was the first car I ever had that did not need a single warranty repair. Nothing. Just brakes , wipers, etc. Now I have a Ford Ranger and same thing. When people say "reliability" they need to quailify that. The odds a new vehicle will leave someone stranded is very very low. Ofcourse it can happen, but compared to the 90s or "00s not even close.
@@danielrn133 "All vehicles now are highly reliable especially when it comes to powertrains."
This is a blatant lie, produced by the European car makers to be able to sell their junk cars, otherwise they could not be able to sell them without rigging their ECU"s.
@M "Zhejiang Geely Holding Group owns the brand, like I said, Chinese"
Volvocars is multi national, like I quoted.
I miss the old 90’s Nissan.
Had a Pathfinder some 25 years ago and got rid of it after a couple of years due to all sorts of quality issues (oil leak, electronics etc). Never sniffed Nissan products again
I absolutely LOVE!!! this shape. CVT? Very sad. 55k Dollars?? and a CVT? Ouch!!! Thanks for letting us know what to buy, and what NOT to buy, Ryan lol
PS: People, He did not say NOT say do/don't buy it, I am the one saying it.. Calm Down!!!
Why would you listen to someone else’s opinion about what not to buy. Experience the vehicle for yourself and draw your own conclusions. If you can’t afford it, just say you can’t afford it.
How is that trans feeling any different than the Turbo OB you had? I’ve driven dozens of Subarus (OB and Forester XTs) and they’re all droning
Fake engine sounds, fake shifts, anything else fake about it? I dont see why people buy things like this... Great review though Ryan as usual....
Should of tested to see if 4WD system transferred power side to side where there was half snow & half gravel.
Nissians system can shift power side to side
Great compact luxury SUV from Infiniti but with the price of gas at 7
$7 compared to pre January 20, 2021 price was $2.79/gallon in Southern California I am looking into the Lexus NX plug in hybrid 450h. My daily drive Mon-Fri averaged out to 41 miles per day so I will never have to buy fossil fuel for weekdays, yet when going on road trips I have no range anxiety and a lot more freedom to enjoy my driving and sightseeing instead of looking at the boring tablet screen figuring out when and where to stop for charging. I prefer filling gas at traditional gasoline stations that offer minimarts, restrooms and attendants so buying an EV is not an option for me.
It's raining as you climb towards Snoqualmie Pass . . . I'm shocked! Shocked I am!
The first time ever in my life that I would recommend getting a Subaru!
Hopefully QX50 get infotainment updates & regular V6 engine not cvt 2023 or 2024 than infiniti win back it customers 🤷🏾♂️
Thinking back to your road trip in the Subaru Outback, I’d say you preferred the outback, even in terms of “luxury.” A $55k droning CVT with marginal luxury makes no sense at all.
Try going with the corolla cross!
The camera screen where you have it is in night time mode.
Could someone tell me where the spare tire goes?
I want to like this but Nissan's reputation is so bad that it'll never happen. Plus CVT? Really?
14:00 hey Ryan are you ok bud lol 😂 What was that sound you made. Hilarious stuff.
one for me please
No rear view camera in the mirror that toyota rav 4 has stock ? Infiniti needs to get it together. Could go on for a while about what my rav4 prime has that this doesn't
Does it have a renault engine?
CVT? Keep it. Would much prefer a RDX or CX5!
This past weekend a friend and I went to a Mazda dealership to test drive one, and yes, a real automatic!
@@seiph80 I just watched a video on the CX50. It is better in a few ways than the CX5.
@@rondail5675 let's be real, Infiniti is already a half dead brand, even their parent company Nissan is in a bit of a mess, so what to even expect from their not so luxurious luxury division.
This car has such a potent engine... I don't know why they decided to ruin that with a CVT...
They should have put the 3.0t I'm there!
Love this car. People just feel the need to bitch about something.
CVT IN A PREMIUM "SPORTY" CROSSOVER COUPE??? why.....
lexus has a cvt in the hybrids
@@selwynmontgomery9926 so ??????
Nissan/Infiniti should ditch that gdamn jatco cvt once and for all.
Don't expect a Mazda's transmission response from a Nissan product, lol. The Jatco CVTs are some of the worst in the industry. I'm loving Nissan/Infiniti/Mitsubishi's styling of late, but they really just need to ditch the CVTs, they have the 9 speed design from ZF, they just need to use it in more than the Frontier, and Pathfinder.
The 9 speed in the frontier is a Mercedes design for rear wheel drive.
Cool car, but its just ANOTHER one not coming to AUS. We get absolutely nothing here.
Didn’t realised Infiniti still exist. Well at least not in quite a few markets anymore
Could you possibly review a Lincoln Corsair sometime?
I guess Infinity just gave up. Next step bankruptcy
WHATTTTTT?!?!?!?!????? NO SLEEEEEP TEESTTTTT?!?!?!?!?!?!? This ain't a DSTV if it ain't got the sleeping test for the back lmaoooo.
Lol. We filmed this one before we started doing that. We kept punting it.
Great video. Infiniti is a dead brand. FX suv coup was the last one they had the best CUV. RWD bias, 5-7 speed Real auto transmission. They could have improved but decided to stick CVT tranny. Really. Good luck infinity selling vehicles. Moreover, no lane centering. Really. Even civic has lane centering. 🤦🏽♂️
Exterior design is amazing gorgeous but the interior looks like a dumpster, QX55 should only cost $15000-$19000 in my humble opinion
an honest review! Infiniti is ruined with this video :)
Exterior is excellent ; interior is nice; infotainment system is an outdated; engine is ok; transmission is a disaster.
not bad a improvement over the short lived qx30 still not a fan of FWD CARS
Good looking rig! This review was very negative…
crazy how much he's weaving in his lane and bleeding into other lanes all over screen brightness.
Very competitive suv sedan or very compact crossover. The back design would be better, but I think that it is a practical and very competitive small car. Is Infiniti so is a lot of fun!
the lack of features due to the person not the car.
That sound ar WOT is horrible!
I threw up a little bit in my mouth when I heard it.
I wonder when Nissan is going to realize that the CVT's are slowly killing their business... Just drop all the CVT's Nissan!
The thing i think is crazy is paddle shifters for a CVT. Why even bother. Jatco CVTs are pure junk. Perhaps Honda and Toyota make better ones BUT I would never consider a vehicle with a CVT...total deal breaker for me. About the back up camera...many criticize Toyota...well this Infinti takes the cake...that screen is garbage for maps . Nice looking vehicle but Lexus and Acura are much better IMO.
Watching this because I enjoy your reviews, no interest in another Nissan cvt. I'm a Nissan/Infiniti fanboy but this car is awful! Want lane centering and a shitty cvt? Buy a Rogue for $20k less.
Variable Compression + Turbo Charger + CVT = NOPE
1
Infinty why ruin a such good looking car with a cvt whyyyyyyyyyyy😱
My 3 year old middle trim Rouge Sport is a better option than this dumb thing...and I HATE my middle trim Rouge Sport.
Нужно лучше готовиться к обзору или не нести ерунды если не знаешь.
У этого вариатора не цепь а ремень
The biggest flop on the market.
A 2 cyl. CVT? Eww, nty
Horrible flop that nobody with a brain will buy . Next
