2021 Volvo XC60 vs. 2021 Infiniti QX50

Beautiful with a long list of features inside, the 2021 Volvo XC60 is indeed one of the luxury subcompact SUVs that creates a good impression among car buyers in Manhattan. This well-cushioned ride shuffles features between trims.

The 2021 Infiniti QX50, just like the XC60 has a long list of standard features. This has an expansive cargo and passenger space too. Heated front seats, Wi-Fi hot spot, and adaptive cruise control are now standard to this SUV.

Design & Style

The 2021 version of the XC60 is one that is gifted with a basic 22.4 cubic feet of cargo space. This area expands to hold 63.3 cubic feet of cargo when the rear seats are folded. It is incredibly styled inside, using the best materials that make it truly luxurious in every aspect. The handsome cabin can accommodate up to five passengers comfortably on both rows of seats.

In the case of the QX50, the cargo area expands to 65.1 cubic feet when the second rows are folded down. There is also a power liftgate included as a standard. The luxury crossover is comfortable, and spacious, with supportive seats all throughout. While it looks good, it does not really appeal as much as the XC60 does.

Technology & Safety

The 2021 XC60 is intuitive in terms of its infotainment system. This one has a nine-inch touch screen that easily responds to input, and displays readable graphics. It has a dual-zone automatic climate control, panoramic sunroof, HD and satellite radios, 10 speakers, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. There is a long list of safety features for the SUV, as promised, including lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, traffic sign recognition, driver drowsiness monitoring, and rearview camera, among others.

The 2021 QX50 uses a combination of two touch screens - an upper eight-inch and lower seven-inch display. It has Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, satellite radio, CD player, six speakers, and smartphone integration. The graphics on the screen looks dated, and it takes time getting used to the two touch screens included. Safety wise, it has pedestrian detection, rear parking sensors, forward collision warning, blind spot monitoring, and a lot more.

Performance

The 2021 XC60 has three engine options, with a base turbo-four engine that results in 250 horsepower. The turbocharged and supercharged version generates up to 316 horsepower, while the plug-in hybrid with an electric motor and a turbo-four puts off 400 horsepower. The 2021 QX50, on the other hand, uses a turbo-four to release 268 horsepower.

The Bottom Line

The 2021 Volvo XC60 has a lot of great features to offer. With its handsome cabin, and sporty exterior, the luxury subcompact SUV easily defeats its rivals, the QX50 included.
