The QX50’s single-engine lineup puts it up against base versions of the Audi Q5, Mercedes GLC, and Volvo XC60—three of the most appealing luxury crossovers you’ll find.
All three cost a little more than the Infiniti, but they generally deliver more personality and luxury features.
The Cadillac XT5 is an appealing value buy, even though it’s not as fun as the brand’s sedans.
Lincoln’s suave Corsair is stylish and powerful, so don’t leave it off your shopping list.
