Our first matchup features two sport-focused luxury coupes: the INFINITI Q60 RED SPORT 400 and the Audi S5 Coupe. Right from the very start, the Q60 RED SPORT 400 begins with a modest price advantage over the most expensive S5. Even with the higher price tag, the S5 offers significantly less horsepower from its single-turbo V6 engine. Performance enthusiasts will clearly gravitate towards the far more powerful Q60 in this comparison. A larger 20-inch set of alloy wheels gives the RED SPORT 400 a more confident stance as well.
Another essential component of any grand-touring sports coupe, the Q60 offers over 5 additional gallons of fuel capacity compared to the Audi. A longer wheelbase helps deliver a smoother, more refined ride as well. The standard keyfob-activated remote start system found on the Q60 is the perfect solution for always entering a vehicle set to a comfortable temperature.
Personalizing your seating position and comfort is a much easier task inside the Q60. Both the tilt and telescoping functions of the steering column are power-adjustable. Similarly, the driver’s seat offers a memory setting to easily accommodate multiple drivers. These two great features are not available on any trim level of the S5 Coupe. Finally, INFINITI provides greater peace of mind than Audi thanks to longer basic and powertrain warranty coverage included as standard on every Q60.

Next up to challenge the INFINITI Q60 is the BMW 4 Series Coupe. Comparing base trim levels equipped with all-wheel drive, the Q60 PURE begins with a staggering price advantage over the 430i xDrive. Despite the higher price tag, choosing BMW over INFINITI means you’ll have to make plenty of sacrifices.
Performance remains a strong suit of the INFINITI Q60. Compared to the tiny 4-cylinder of the 4 Series, the Q60 PURE is powered by a muscular twin-turbo V6 producing 300 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. Larger 19-inch wheels add a more confident stance on the road as well. The massive 20-gallon fuel tank of the Q60 means fewer stops on the way to your destination.
Front LED fog lights add a tasteful styling cue to the front fascia of the Q60 while also enhancing visibility in low-light conditions. Greater legroom in the front row of seats makes the Q60 the more comfortable choice as well. Lastly, BMW is unable to match the confidence included from longer basic and powertrain warranty coverage included by INFINITI.

Last but certainly not least, the INFINITI Q60 faces off against the Lexus RC. As we’ve noticed in the previous matchups, the Q60 begins with a lower price tag. Setting the stage for outstanding value, let's see exactly what you’ll enjoy by choosing INFINITI over Lexus.
Starting with performance, the Q60 comes equipped with a twin-turbocharged V6 compared to a naturally aspirated V6 found beneath the hood of the RC. In terms of both horsepower and torque, the Q60 offers greater performance capabilities. Impressively, it’s even able to deliver a higher highway MPG fuel economy rating in addition to more muscular performance.
Choosing the Q60 means that you’ll enjoy more premium standard features than the RC as well. Examples include standard rain-sensing windshield wipers, larger 19-inch alloy wheels, front passenger lumbar support, and LED front fog lights. Although identical in terms of time, INFINITI includes an extra 10,000 miles of basic warranty coverage for long-lasting peace of mind behind the wheel of your Q60.
Winner — INFINITI Q60
No matter which category you investigate, the INFINITI Q60 remains the obvious choice compared to the competition. Its biggest rivals from Audi, BMW, and Lexus simply cannot match the tremendous value, performance, premium standard features, and warranty coverage found on every Q60.
