Infiniti QX55 vs. Acura RDX

Released early in 2021, the Infiniti QX55 is an SUV coupe that is intended as a replacement for the QX70 which ceased production in 2018. Since hitting the North American market, the Infiniti QX55 has become extremely popular with people looking to own luxury SUV coupes and is now a serious rival to other vehicles in the luxury SUV coupe sector. One of these vehicles is the Acura RDX, the premium sport crossover SUV.

If you are having trouble with your Infiniti QX55 vs Acura RDX purchasing decision, then we are here to help. Here we make an Infiniti QX55 vs Acura RDX comparison in the hope of discovering which, out of the two, is the better vehicle.

Our Exclusive Infiniti QX55 vs Acura RDX Comparison – Which Vehicle Comes Out on Top?

The Infiniti QX55 is a contemporary-looking ‘coupe style’ crossover SUV with a slick and sporty look. It has all the custom good looks you’d expect from any Infiniti vehicle and comes with all-wheel drive as standard (the Acura has RWD as standard, but AWD is available as an upgrade). When it comes to options you can ‘dress’ your QX55 in any way that you deem suitable, as you are not stuck with rigid package upgrades, as you are with the Acura RDX.

The RDX is tasteful with a spacious cabin and the kinds of premium build quality you’d naturally expect from Acura. This car though does not come with any hybrid option, and if you want to use your Acura RDX for towing, then you can forget it.

Both cars come with all the tech features you’d expect from any modern vehicle, including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (not wireless with the Acura RDX), plus a whole host of driver assistance aids.

Comparing the Infiniti QX55 vs Acura RDX in Terms of Power and Performance

The Infiniti QX55 was a stand-out on its release, and that has remained the case ever since. The QX55 can boast a 2.0L VC-Turbo 4-cylinder engine capable of generating a pleasing 268 hp. The Acura also has a 2.0L VC-Turbo 4-cylinder engine that generates almost identical numbers, maxing out at 272 hp. That makes the Acura RDX a slightly thirstier vehicle – 24 mpg all round in terms of fuel economy compared to the 25 mpg that the Infiniti QX55 can provide you with. There’s very little to choose between them but one item of importance – the basic warranty with the QX55 lasts for 60,000 miles which is 10,000 miles more than your Acura RDX is covered for.

If you would like to get to know the Infiniti QX55 a little better, then Infiniti of El Paso can help.

Infiniti QX55 vs. BMW X4

Both the Infiniti QX55 from Nissan and the BMW X4 have established very decent reputations for themselves in the exclusive, executive car niche. Both are sporty, compact luxury crossover SUVs, and are at the top of the luxury crossover SUV market. When people are looking to purchase a new compact luxury crossover SUV, they are commonly presented with an Infiniti QX55 vs BMW X4 dilemma.

That’s one dilemma that we are hopefully here to solve with our Infiniti QX55 vs BMW X4 comparison. We think it’s going to be a close call, but which luxury SUV is likely to come out on top?

The Infiniti QX55 vs BMW X4 Comparison – Which is the Better Luxury Crossover SUV?

The look and feel of any automobile are of the utmost importance to any luxury car owner, and here the QX55 clearly outshines the BMW X4. The designers of the QX55 have opted for a pared-back appearance that’s largely based on Nissan’s popular QX50. The standard fit has faux-leather upholstery but both semi-aniline leather and genuine leather are available as upgrades. Unlike most luxury SUVs which default to carbon-fiber trim, Nissan has refreshingly decided to use open-pore wood instead which gives the QX55 a genuine classy feel.

Inside the BMW X4 you get a more contemporary look and feel, which may appeal to those who are not too bothered about classic design features. The central instrument stack is certainly busy and almost gives a futuristic impression, although the fact that the infotainment screen is hidden behind a shield and has to be popped into view to use seems as if it could soon become an annoyance.

The BMW X4 is also tight on cargo space, as with all the seats in place you only get 19 cubic feet to play with, and 51 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded down. With the QX55 its 26.9 cubic feet even when fully loaded with passengers, and 54.1 cubic feet with the front seats folded down.

Continuing the Infiniti QX55 vs BMW X4 Comparison – Power and Performance

The QX55 is powered by a 2-0 liter inline-4 turbocharged engine which means it is capable of 268 hp at 5,600 rpm and 280 lb-ft of torque. By comparison, the BMW X4 has a 2-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine producing 248 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. If you want more power from your BMW X4 then you will need to upgrade to the M40i which gives 382 hp and 365 lb-ft of torque, but of course, that upgrade is at a costly premium.

If you would like to see for yourself the kind of riding experience Nissan’s Infiniti QX55 is likely to provide, then why not arrange a test drive of one? You can do just that at Infiniti of El Paso, part of the Charlie Clark automotive group. To arrange your test drive, or just to speak to a member of our friendly support team, you can contact us at 915-223-3927, or via our online contact form.
