How it scores for you10 scores
A sports-car-flavored SUV from another era — still fun and mechanically stout, but you pay in fuel, tech, and space with every mile.
Recalled far less often than cars of the same model years; its only recall was serious. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted +5 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $4,250 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 3% of cars we track.
24.8 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 52% of other SUVs we track.
The rakish roof squeezes rear headroom and the 24.8 cu ft hold trails boxier midsize rivals.
The old FX formula — 325-hp VQ, rear-biased chassis — remains genuinely sporty for an SUV even if the ride punishes.
A 2008-era platform ran to 2017 with old nav graphics and few driver aids.
Stiff-legged ride and elevated road noise; supportive seats only partly compensate.
Luxury brands like Infiniti tend to lose value faster than average.
Rated to tow 2,000 lb; all- or four-wheel drive available.
