BMW X5 vs INFINITI QX60: The Sound of Commanding Power

BMW X5 Performance You need an SUV with a powerful engine. It'll set the tempo for any great composition. The 3.0L TwinPower Turbo engine of the BMW X5 lays down the beat with 335 horsepower. The standard 3.5L V6 of the QX60 may fall flat. It tops out at generating 295 horsepower.

Behind the wheel of these SUVs, you're the conductor. That's why both models come with selectable drive modes. In the BMW X5, you can wave the baton in one of three ways to direct the performance in the way you see fit. The available drive modes include:

ECO PRO
COMFORT
SPORT

Is the crowd raining on your performance? The show must go on! That's why both SUVs can be outfitted with all-wheel-drive systems. They direct power to the wheels with the most grip, so you can stay seamlessly in control.

Both luxury SUVs also share the power of connectivity. The rhythm of the following infotainment features will help you stay connected on the move:

Bluetooth®
Apple CarPlay™
Android Auto
SiriusXM®

When you sit down in the BMW X5, you'll be fully immersed in the sounds of your production. The available Bowers & Wilkins® Diamond Surround Sound System comes with 20 speakers. The Bose® Premium Audio system available with the INFINITI QX60 only comes with 13 speakers.

X5 vs QX60: Maestros of Safety

Luxury vehicles are virtuosos in the world of automotive safety, and the BMW X5 and INFINITI QX60 are no different. In fact, they share a variety of similar driver-assistive features, including:

Frontal Collision Warning
Blind Spot Detection
Lane Departure Warning
Rear-view camera

The BMW X5 will provide peace of mind that's almost melodic, thanks to the standard Active Protection System. If this standard system detects an imminent collision, it can prepare the vehicle by automatically tightening the safety belts, closing the windows, and activating post-crash braking. The QX60 doesn't offer similar technology.

Here it is: The finale of our great composition. You need to leave the crowd awestruck and inspired, and behind the wheel of an SUV that can park itself, you'll do just that. You'll only get the available Parking Assistant Plus with the BMW X5. Once this system identifies an open spot, it can steer the vehicle right in.
