Infiniti Introduces All-New QX50 For Growing SUV Market
Infiniti is continuing to become a competitive force in the luxury car market with its all-new QX50. Alyssa Julya Smith caught up with Infiniti Vice President Randy Parker to learn about the new features, and what makes the QX50 so competitive.
