Infiniti QX50
Although the QX50 (formerly EX35) crossover is showing its age compared to its main competitors, it remains an excellent choice in this category. This luxurious compact crossover is powered by a 3.7L V6 that generates 325 horsepower for a torque of 267 lbs.-ft. linked to a seven-speed automatic transmission. Very versatile, the QX50 offers a cargo capacity ranging from 476 to 1,291 litres with the rear bench lowered.
