Exterior - INFINITI Dealer serving Montgomery AL

The 2023 INFINITI QX50 effuses sophisticated style across its stunning façade. The profile projects its aerodynamics through dramatic curves while the hood and sides are smoothly yet deeply accented. The chrome-enhanced grille pairs with a short, black bumper, and this bumper curves into the athletic, well-defined air vents. The grill also connects to triangular, LED-outlined headlights. Some or all of the QX50’s trims have 19-inch wheels or larger, a hands-free power liftgate, heated and power-folding side mirrors, a panoramic sunroof, silver or black roof rails, adaptive headlights, rain-sensing wipers and a tow hitch.

In comparison, Acura's 2023 RDX crossover has an expected profile with almost-flat surfaces, and the sides offer a subtle angle through the accent lines. The RDX’s front end has the expected pentagon grille that Acura is known for, and this is combined with large headlights that feature a hook-like LED accent bar. The short lower fascia and the gill-style air vents complete the RDX’s look. The RDX’s standard exterior features are a panoramic sunroof and 19-inch wheels.

2023 INFINITI QX50 Performance specs

The powertrain output for these two crossover SUVs is almost identical, but there are differences in their capabilities. INFINITI's 2023 QX50 crossover draws almost 270 horsepower from a turbo 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine linked to a continuously variable transmission. Depending on the trim, the QX50 has front-wheel or all-wheel drive.

The 2023 Acura RDX also has a 2.0-liter turbo, four-cylinder engine that produces almost 270 horsepower. It is also available with either front-wheel or all-wheel drive. However, the RDX is equipped with a 10-speed auto transmission.
