2020 Infiniti QX50 vs. 2020 Volvo XC60

The award-winning QX50 is a luxury SUV that has an industry-recognized engine, interior, and powertrain.  It also has been recognized as a best SUV in its class. The QX50 provides a fresh experience on each trip with exceptional handling and performance. The fierce competition in this segment helps Infiniti to focus on making the highest-quality SUV possible. Here, we compare it to the 2020 Volvo XC60.

The 2020 QX50 is priced right

The sensibly-priced QX50 starts at $43,995, which is pleasantly lower than the XC60's lowest starting price of $46,350. If you want the QX50's highest grade, the Autograph, it begins at $58,598. This is much lower than the XC60's top-of-the-line model, Polestar Engineered, at $89,150. Moreover, you have the selection of six full trims up to the Autograph's price, whereas the Volvo only offers three trims in that range. 

The 2020 Infiniti QX50 perfectly pairs quality and performance

The QX50 features a single, high-quality engine option. A 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder generates 268 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. This engine is unique; it features the world’s first variable compression technology in a production car. The QX50 also gives you control over how the engine responds. The continuously variable transmission includes a console-based straight shift pattern, and manual shift mode.

The gas-only engine also happens to be more efficient than any of the XC60's engines thanks to its revolutionary technology, and it rates at 10.8/8.3 L/100 km (city/highway). A noteworthy fact is that the QX50 has a better highway rating than the XC60’s hybrid engine.

Some may look at the XC60's three engines at face value and notice how some of their horsepower and torque numbers may be higher than the QX50. However, the QX50 recently earned the ALG Powertrain Innovation Award. This award recognizes quality power, efficiency and handling. The QX50's powerplant was also named recently on Ward's 10 Best Engines list. It's not always about quantity, but quality. 

Inside, the QX50 has an interior that must be experienced. Ward's also placed it on its 10 Best Interiors list. With more versatility and volume than the XC60, the QX50 proves to be a true SUV.
