Please take a look below as we provide a brief overview of the Acura RDX vs. Infiniti QX50. We hope this helps you narrow down your options and find your new SUV.

First, let's start with everyone's favorite part. Performance! The Acura RDX comes appointed with one of the most powerful standard engines in its class. The 272-horsepowr 2.0-liter VTEC 4-cylinder engine. Paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, the Acura RDX instantly accelerates off the line. The Acura RDX also comes standard with 280 lb.-ft. of torque. Even more impressive, the new Acura RDX comes standard with four drive modes - Snow, Comfort, Sport, and Sport+. Completed with 19-inch wheels, the Acura RDX is a great performer.

With the push of the button, the new Acura RDX offers heated front seats.

Siri Eyes Free, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto, all come standard with the new Acura RDX as well.

Inside, the Infiniti QX50 greet drivers with an eight way power adjustable  front seat with power lumbar support. Unfortunately, the new Infiniti QX50 doesn't comes standard with power heated seats. Even more surprising, the Infiniti QX50 only comes standard with six speakers. But for what it's worth, the new Infiniti QX50 does come standard with dual-display system screens, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.

Ultimately, we recommend the new Acura RDX. It's a fun luxury crossover SUV with exhilarating performance and fantastic safety features.

The Infiniti QX50 is back, after a year off and is newly designed featuring a continuously variable transmission (shiftless transmission). The new design has its benefits and drawbacks as the new CVT technology provides a boost to fuel economy, but it also has inconsistent power delivery upon acceleration. The new interior is quiet and roomy with lots of cargo space for this small SUV. This larger design also seems to contribute to poor handling though. The handling and acceleration make for a rather uninspiring ride overall. We'd also like to see more core options in the lower two trim packages. Overall, another update to refine the Infiniti QX50's drive train is definitely needed, while the improved fuel-efficiency and interior is a big plus.

The  Acura RDX has also been re-designed in this model-year. Acura went with a high-performance 10-speed automatic transmission that smoothly shifts gears in collaboration with a powerful new 272-horsepower turbocharged engine. We're glad they did as this 10-speed transmission is fantastic.The RDX inspires as a sporty SUV with sharp handling and great acceleration. The specially-designed transmission can actually shift 4 speeds at a time to quickly bring you more torque and power for easy merging and passing. Several driver modes allow for more relaxed or sportier driving options, while advanced safety features, like automatic collision avoidance systems, come standard on every RDX. You can also take the RDX to the next level with Acura's super-handling all-wheel drive system, which shifts power to each axle or wheel as you hug tight turns. The RDX is an exhilarating, fun luxury crossover that is a must-see when shopping in the competitive luxury crossover SUV segment.

We love the roomy interior of the Infiniti QX50, but the RDX is a more powerful, more spacious, and more fun crossover SUV. The drawbacks of the QX50's new drivetrain just can't be ignored as the ride is not the smooth, fun ride we expected. You can also lease a new Acura RDX for an incredible price.
