When we think of compact SUVs, we tend to look at the segment as divided in two. We have the compact segment, and the compact luxury segment in which the QX50 is found. The Toyota RAV4 is traditionally not considered a luxury SUV. Therefore, at first glance, the QX50 and the Toyota RAV4 are not competitors.
But, if you visit a Toyota dealership and a quote, you will see that the price of these models is actually quite similar. The RAV4 and the QX50 aren’t that far off when it comes to pricing, especially with a lease. So why not check out the QX50? It certainly gives you more luxury and value.
Here are a few things that the Infiniti QX50 does better than the RAV4
- The interior is stunning and a lot more luxurious than the Toyota RAV4’s
- There’s a lot more power in the QX50 with 268 horsepower versus 203
- The Infiniti QX50 reaches 100 km/h in under 7.0 seconds, about 1.5 seconds faster than the RAV4
- There’s a lot more technology in the 2021 Infiniti QX50 including advanced safety like predictive automatic braking
- A more comfortable ride that’s also quieter
This is just an overview, but you have to admit that for the price of a luxury SUV, you should try and get a luxury SUV!
