2020 Infiniti QX50 Earns the Consumer Guide Automotive Best Buy Award
For the second year in a row, the Infiniti QX50 earned the 2020 Consumer Guide Automotive Best Buy Award. This classy crossover beat out over 150 competitors to earn the title of Best SUV/Crossover. That’s quite an accomplishment, considering that the QX50 triumphed in such a booming, competitive segment.
Jeff Pope, Group Vice President of Infiniti America, praised the Infiniti team for the model’s success. “We are honored to have won the Consumer Guide Automotive Best Buy Award for the second year in the row,” he said. “This award shows that our planners, designers and engineers understand what consumers want year over year and we are proud to deliver that with the QX50.”
What it takes to win the Consumer Guide Automotive Best Buy Award
The Consumer Guide Automotive Best Buy Award goes to the vehicle that offers the best performance for its value. So it’s no surprise that the QX50 drove home with the gold — in addition to its upscale styling and opulent amenities, this crossover boasts the 268-horsepower VC-Turbo engine that’s taken critics by storm. Business Insider hailed the engine’s blend of V6-like power and hybrid-like efficiency. Similarly, WardsAuto lauded the VC-Turbo engine for being among the 10 best mills of 2019.
