2021 Infiniti QX50 vs. 2021 Audi Q5: More value, more space and more equipment

The 2021 Infiniti QX50 is a luxury compact sport utility vehicle worth knowing. Offering multiple versions and a powerful engine, the Infiniti QX50 is also better value than its direct rivals like the 2021 Audi Q5. Let's take a closer look by comparing two versions, the Infiniti QX50 LUXE and the Audi Q5 Progressiv, the mid-level model in the Q5 family.

Better value in the 2021 Infiniti QX50

For starters, the 2021 Infiniti QX50 offers a much better starting price and more affordable payment than the Q5. For 48-month lease, the 2021 Infiniti QX50 LUXE starts at $ 628 per month while the Q5 Progressiv starts at $ 758 per month. That’s a huge difference per month that is over $ 1,000 per year.

So, you might think that the Infiniti QX50 offers less equipment or something that justifies the price difference with the Q5. Quite the opposite in fact. When you compare the LUXE version and the Progressiv version of the Q5 2021, you can see that the Q5 lags behind when it comes to features.

For starters, the Infiniti QX50 is more modern than the Q5. The latter has been slightly revised this year, but it is ultimately the same Q5 that has been on the market for over 4 years. The QX50 is therefore more modern inside and better equipped.

In particular, it offers:

• ProPILOT Assist semi-autonomous driving technology
• Lane departure prevention system with blind spot detector
• Rear collision prevention
• Heated steering wheel
• Remote starter

You won't find these features on the 2021 Audi Q5. You won't find the same interior space either, while the QX50 offers 880 liters of space compared to 725 liters of trunk space.

Other features offered in the QX50 and not available in the Q5 Progressiv include:

• Wi-Fi access
• Predictive forward collision warning
