STANDARD HORSEPOWER
HEATED STEERING WHEEL
TRIMS
A confident drive begins with expert engineering. Rapid acceleration and tight handling will make any driver eager to command the highway with style. A stronger mechanical design results in a more enjoyable time behind the wheel of your luxury car.
A car should be easy to control and give a rush of adrenaline on every drive. Each model comes standard with an?automatic transmission to keep you engaged with your drive and focused on the road. The Q50 and the S60 also have available all-wheel drive to enhance your control in varying road conditions, such as rain and gravel.
Drivers looking for a classic sports car launch will appreciate the standard rear-wheel drive in the INFINITI Q50. It provides a powerful boost when you press the accelerator from a stop, giving you a heart-pumping performance. The S60 comes standard with traditional front-wheel drive, which lacks the exciting edge of the Q50.
As much as transmissions and drivetrains contribute to an action-packed drive, they all rely on a strong engine to live up to their abilities. A dynamic motor is the key to a performance that takes you to the front of the pack and commands the highway with authority. The Q50 and the S60 each have a mighty engine under their respective hoods, though only one can come out on top. The INFINITI Q50 has ample energy with its standard motor and even more in the Red Sport trim.

| Red Sport | ????????3.0L 6-cylinder | ????????400 HP | ??350 lb-ft |
The Volvo S60 has a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine that generates 247 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. If you’ve been dreaming about a more powerful drive, the INFINITI Q50 is the model for you.
The cabin is your haven from the outside world. It should be a welcoming environment where you and your passengers can relax and remain refreshed throughout each trip. You’ll enjoy your vehicle more when it caters to your comfort, which calls for thoughtful design.
Having enough space to stretch out is the first step toward more comfortable drives. A roomy interior will allow you and your riders to establish your personal space, lean back, and be ready for whatever the road has in store. The INFINITI Q50 has more space for you to claim than the S60, particularly in the front row. It’s a sure way to have a more relaxing ride.

|---|---|---|
| Headroom (1st/2nd Row) | 39.5/36.8 in. | 37.4/37.2 in. |
| Legroom (1st/2nd Row) | 44.5/35.1 in. | 42.3/35.2 in. |
| Shoulder Room (1st/2nd Row) | 56.7/56.1 in. | 56.1/54.5 in. |
The INFINITI Q50 has extra room in its cargo area, too. Its 13.5-cubic-foot trunk gives you more space to pack luggage, groceries, and anything else you bring home than the S60 trunk, which measures 11.6 cubic feet.
Ultimate comfort comes from fine details and forward-thinking design. It’s part of what makes luxury SUVs so remarkable: lush features that cater to your needs elevate your drive to new heights. The QX50 and the S60 each take your relaxation into account with dynamically designed seats and amenities. Similar features include:
- Power lumbar support
- Power-adjustable seats
- Driver seat memory
The INFINITI Q50 takes comfort a step further with standard heated front seats to keep you and your copilot warm on chilly mornings. The S60 only has this feature available on select models. The Q50 also has a standard heated steering wheel for more warmth, while the S60 makes it available with an optional climate package.
Bold advancements in tech are made daily, including the systems built into today’s vehicles. Smarter processing and intuitive controls mean you’ll easily command these features while maintaining focus on the road. Your next car should embody the modern era with informative and revolutionary technologies.
Engaging and intuitive infotainment features make the journey more fun for everyone. Each model has a variety of systems ready to provide more control over the vehicle’s functions. There’s plenty to enjoy in each model’s offerings:
- Wi-Fi Hotspot
- Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™
- Bluetooth® connection
- Available navigation
The INFINITI Q50 uses three screens for infotainment purposes, each clearly viewable from the driver’s seat. There are just two screens in the S60. If you have multiple devices to connect or charge, two USB ports are waiting for you in the front row of the Q50, as well as two more available for the back row.?Volvo does not offer any USB ports, making the Q50 the clear choice.
Advanced safety features grant you peace of mind on every drive. Thanks to driver-assistive technologies, you can ride with added reassurance while your car complements your safe driving habits. There are many systems that the Q50 and the S60 have in common that help keep you safe from potential hazards:
- Blind Spot Warning
- Lane Departure Warning
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Forward Collision Warning
- Forward Emergency Braking
While both models have many similar systems, the INFINITI Q50 has several exclusive features that take your drive to a new level of security. The Intelligent Around View® Monitor offers a 360-degree view around the Q50 that the S60 lacks. The Q50 also comes standard with both front and rear parking sensors, whereas the S60 only has standard rear sensors and offers front sensors for select models.
There’s plenty to explore in Jacksonville, Orange Park, and Green Cove Springs, FL, and the INFINITI Q50 makes each trip more enjoyable. Its superior design and additional features make it a fantastic choice for your next chapter of life on the road.
