Infiniti Motor Company offers a good lineup

Infiniti Motor Company, the Yokohama, Japan-headquartered automaker, has compiled five top tips that prospective buyers of a crossover or an SUV in the Middle East should consider when setting out to buy new wheels for use in urban environments.

In this context, the global auto brand is promoting the Infiniti QX50, its sporty coupe variant, the QX55, QX60 and QX80 as fitting the bill.

When choosing the right crossover or SUV for an urban lifestyle in the Middle East, consider size, fuel efficiency, safety features, infotainment capabilities, and comfort level.

By prioritising these aspects, one will experience the practicality and versatility needed to navigate busy city streets or embark on weekend getaways away from cities.

Compact size and manoeuvrability

A compact crossover or SUV is one’s best friend in congested city streets and busy parking lots.

Look for a model with a nimble and agile driving experience, making navigating tight spots and crowded traffic easy.
