These luxury crossover SUVs present a similar approach to their exterior design aesthetic. The INFINITI QX55 and the BMW X4 feature aerodynamic physiques with coupe-like curves and sculpted rooflines that simultaneously signify timeless style and promise athletic performance.

Living up to its name, the INFINITI dazzles with its digital piano key taillights with Super RED LED illumination. Its exterior palette includes such standout shades as Dynamic Sunstone Red, Hermosa Blue, and Graphite Shadow. While the BMW offers variations of those colors, its traditional taillights go without any distinctive flair that leaves onlookers in awe long after you’ve driven away.

When you’re running solo errands, carpooling with colleagues, and transporting the family on vacation, you need a well-furnished space for everyone and all their gear. You’ll also want a complement of amenities to keep you seated in the lap of luxury. Speaking of seats, the BMW X4 begins with SensaTec upholstery, a synthetic crafted from plastic. On the other hand, the INFINITI QX55 defines luxury differently by providing standard leather-appointed seating.

Further ensuring your comfort, their cockpit-styled cabins come with heated, power-adjustable front seats, Dual Zone Automatic Temperature Control, and driver’s seat memory. They likewise include a similar range of convenient infotainment features:

• Wireless Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto™
• Wireless charging
• Wi-Fi hotspot

As a result, you and everyone on board will remain connected, engaged, and entertained mile after mile.

You're known for your quiet, confident strength and ability to make competent decisions without hesitation. You expect nothing less from the car you drive. The INFINITI QX55 and the BMW X4 provide similar standard turbocharged 2.0L 4-cylinder engines that offer effortless acceleration and ample refined power to handle urban settings as easily as the open highway. Still, one model’s engine delivers more from the jump.

While the BMW X4 pairs its engine with an 8-speed automatic transmission, the INFINITI QX55 mates its motor with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). With the INFINITI’s CVT, you’ll enjoy smoother acceleration, seamless shifting, and increased fuel economy.

The QX55 and the X4 come with standard all-wheel drive for improved stability and traction in less-than-ideal conditions. So, you’ll have additional peace of mind when you encounter inclement weather or slippery or slick roadways, helping reduce skidding and improve handling.

The BMW X4 equips a standard suspension, which interconnects the wheels, meaning what one wheel experiences when hitting a bump impacts all the other wheels. The INFINITI QX55, however, is built with an independent front and rear suspension, so each wheel moves independently. As a result, you’ll enjoy a smoother ride, better traction, and more stability in the QX55.

Continuing your quest for balance, you seek a luxury coupe SUV that balances power and fuel economy. Their nearly identical base engines yield similar numbers when it comes to fuel efficiency:

• INFINITI QX55: EPA-estimated 22 city/28 highway MPG*
• BMW X4: EPA-estimated 21 city/27 highway MPG

With their similarly sized fuel tanks, you can travel over 400 miles in either model before pausing to refuel.

The revolutionary VC-Turbo (variable compression turbocharged) engine in the INFINITI utilizes a unique multi-link system to switch between low compression when power and strong acceleration are needed and high compression for efficiency when cruising.

In-vehicle technologies are commonplace, extending to the most critical area: driver-assistance systems. INFINITI and BMW take your safety nearly as seriously as you do, so they equip a range of technologies to assist if the unexpected happens. Still, only one of these luxury coupe SUVs can take pre-emptive action to help prevent it from happening in the first place.

While both models have Blind Spot Warning and Lane Departure Warning systems, the INFINITI QX55 pulls away from the BMW X4 with its active Blind Spot Intervention™ and Lane Departure Prevention features that can provide corrective steering when necessary, instead of just warning you. The INFINITI's Predictive Forward Collision Warning can alert you to sudden vehicle braking from two cars ahead.
