Audi Q7 vs. Infiniti FX50 Review

Performance
With respect to horsepower, the Infiniti FX50 packs quite a punch and will knock the Q7 down a few rungs. On the flip side, remember that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Handling
With their similar turning circles, the Infiniti FX50 and the Audi Q7 most certainly handle approximately the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The FX50 has a larger engine than the Q7. Remember that smaller engines typically get better gas mileage, but a smaller engine usually has to work a little harder. Torque equals pickup, and the Infiniti FX50 will have picked up and gone by the time the Audi Q7 finally gets moving. The Infiniti FX50 packs quite a wallop compared to the Audi when it comes to torque, which is roughly equivalent to acceleration.

Utility
The Audi Q7 will most certainly prove more convenient than the Infiniti FX50 for those of you with frequent child-cargo. There's no clear winner between the Audi Q7 and the Infiniti FX50 in terms of hauling capacity. The Audi Q7 outpulls the Infiniti FX50 by a massive margin.

Convenience
You'll definitely have to take the Infiniti FX50 for a fill-up more often than the Audi Q7 because of its tank size and gas mileage.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Audi Q7 offers a bit more head room than the Infiniti FX50, there honestly isn't much of a difference. The Q7 offers more head- and leg-room to your passengers than the Infiniti FX50 does.

Dimensions
The Audi Q7 is considerably heavier than the Infiniti FX50. The Infiniti FX50's tank is roughly the same size as the Audi Q7's, though the Audi Q7's is a bit larger. The Infiniti FX50 and the Audi Q7 compete for the same parking spaces.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs approximately the same to get the Audi Q7 to the dealership as the FX50. As far as fuel economy, the Audi has the Infiniti FX50 beat. Producing a precise fuel economy evaluation is so difficult that some think not even the federal government can do it, but it looks as though the Q7 is the winner in terms of gas mileage. As far as MSRP, the Audi Q7 costs substantially less than the Infiniti FX50.

Warranty
The basic after-sale protection that comes with the Audi Q7 isn't quite as generous as the Infiniti's.
