2021 Volvo XC60 vs. 2021 Infiniti QX50

The 2021 INFINITI QX50 is truly an impressive SUV. Its zippy engine, outstanding driver assistance and lovely appearance have received widespread industry praise. But can it compete with the 2021 Volvo XC60, a sport utility vehicle notable for its all and front wheel drive, solid powertrains and cutting edge safety features?

Design & Style

The Volvo XC60 is sophisticated in every respect, with its sporty exterior and refined interior. It can carry a maximum of five, and maintains an upright stance which provides lots of headroom. The seats are extremely comfortable. Not only can they be cooled or heated, they can also be instructed to provide a massage. Because the cabin is free of lots of buttons and knobs, this makes it roomy, uncluttered and easier to use. Thirty cubic feet of space in the cargo area means that drivers can haul almost anything they want. The INFINITI QX50 is also sporty, with seats that are designed with special foam that is high density and which provides excellent support for the back. Those seated in the rear will have thirty nine inches of space for their legs and head which makes it ideal even for taller passengers, and 31 cubic feet is available for cargo space.

Technology & Safety

Federal testing agencies have given the INFINITI QX50 a perfect five star rating. It is outfitted with all sorts of safety countermeasures, including drive assistance, emergency automatic brakes, and a mechanism which will monitor the fatigue levels of the drive to ensure they never fall asleep at the wheel. Comforts within the cabin include authentic leather, camera with surround view, navigational systems, sunroof and remote start. The Volvo XC60 is equipped with all of the features found in the INFINITI QX50, including Pilot Assist, lane departure notifications, the ability to identify road signs and blind area monitoring. Its luxury features include Bluetooth support, power lift gate, keyless ignition, 12.3 inch digital displays, nappa leather and shiny black trim.

Performance

The Volvo XC60 comes with a turbo 4, 2 liter engine that can generate 250 horsepower, that works in conjunction with an eight speed automatic. The INFINITI QX50 answers with a turbo 4, 2 liter engine of its own that can generate 268 horsepower.

The Bottom Line

The INFINITI QX50 and Volvo XC60 are both so well designed and engineered that they are almost tied. They offer nearly the same horsepower and engine type, interior amenities and safety tech. Despite this, the Volvo has an edge in infotainment and better seats (they provide a massage after all), so the XC60 wins.
