2019 INFINITI QX50 Reviews SummaryIntroduced in 2007 (back when it was called the EX), the QX50 has sat nearly stagnant ever since, receiving slight changes and one refresh during a decade that saw small, luxury crossovers rising in stature to become a dominant class of vehicles in the industry. Finally, in its second generation, the 2019 QX50 shows up with more room, a new tech-savvy engine, and one hell of an impressive interior. | |
2019 Audi Q3 Reviews SummaryIf you’ve spent any time on our site or you follow the car industry in general, you’ll know that small SUVs and crossovers are kings right now, and it’s easy to see why. Consider vehicles like the Volvo XC40, BMW X1, or Land Rover Range Rover Evoque (if you’re not into the whole brevity thing). While these vehicles might excel at different things, nearly every vehicle in the subcompact luxury SUV market aims for the same balance of comfortable interiors, composed handling, and the latest infotainment and safety technologies. But these vehicles all typically suffer in the same areas: a lack of cargo and backseat space, and less-than-thrilling performance. While they won’t be as spacious as a larger SUV or even some station wagons, they all have enough space for some weekend bags, groceries, or all the kid’s gear for school or practice. The all-new Audi Q3 feels larger than before. It also feels like Audi made fewer compromises than it did with the last Q3. As a result, the 2019 Q3 is one of the most compelling entries in the subcompact SUV market. | |
