Infiniti QX60 vs Audi Q5

Jul 22, 2015

The new Infiniti QX60 is an impressive vehicle, and is a great flagship for the new generation of Infiniti sport utility vehicles. Now available from Lake Norman Infiniti, one of the top Infiniti dealers in the Charlotte region, the QX60 is a great vehicle for exploring the wilderness beyond Mooresville, taking the family out to Lake Norman for the day, or chauffeuring the family to a chic restaurant in downtown Charlotte. The big question is, how does it match up to one of the leaders of the luxury mid-size SUV categories, the Audi Q5?

Performance – Infiniti QX60 or Audi Q5

With 265 horses on tap, the QX60 has power on demand to get up to speed when merging onto the highways in the Charlotte area, without hesitation. You won’t have to be timid hopping on to Interstate 77 – just push that pedal down and you’ll be up to speed with traffic in no time. The QX60 isn’t just about speed, either. That power means you can tow and haul more – that 600-pound difference could be the difference between a rowboat and a motorboat to take out onto Lake Norman.

Spaciousness of the Infiniti QX60

With room for seven passengers, the Infiniti QX60 can carry more members of a Little League team than you probably care to take with you – but at least you’ve got that option. It’s a great people-mover, and the best part is, the interior dimensions mean that passengers won’t feel cramped. With some of the widest seats in its class, you won’t have to worry about rear passengers feeling like they are being squeezed in. The extra legroom also means you won’t have to make as many stops to get out and stretch on long trips.

Features

The Infiniti QX60 has a great roster of features inside for comfort and convenience. The power glass sunroof means that you can enjoy the warm sun on a spring or summer day. The heated and cooled front seats mean you won’t have to worry about getting too hot after your QX60 sits in the Huntersville sun all day either – give it a minute, and they’ll be nice and frosty. If you plan on taking some long trips out of the Charlotte region, you might also want to invest in the optional rear seat DVD entertainment system, which is great for keeping the kids quiet on long journeys.
