BMW X5 vs INFINITI QX80 Engine Power

When Alabama drivers like you are shopping for a luxury SUV, a high-powered engine is often at the top of their lists. That's why we love that both the BMW X5 and the INFINITI QX80 make a V8 engine available or standard, respectively. Take a look at the table below to see how these mighty engines will get you moving:

With its 523 horsepower, the V8 engine in the BMW pulls ahead of the INFINITI. In fact, this 4.4L V8 engine from the BMW X5 can propel you from 0 to 60 MPH in just 4.1 seconds under the right conditions. Unfortunately, the INFINITI QX80 may take a bit longer to get you moving and up to speed by comparison.

Dimensions and Seating

Whether you're driving the BMW X5 or the INFINITI QX80, go ahead and bring all your friends along for the ride. Both luxury SUVs can feature 3-row seating with enough room to accommodate seven passengers. That being said, the BMW gives you a bit more versatility. It comes standard as a 2-row, 5-seat SUV with an optional 3-row configuration. That gives you the power to choose your ideal cabin based on your needs.

Overall, the INFINITI QX80 is a much larger vehicle, while the BMW X5 manages to carry just as many people in a more compact package. That means the BMW may be more adept at traveling through busy areas or parallel parking.

As you can see, the BMW X5 is almost 16 inches shorter than the INFINITI, which can make navigating crowded parking lots or side streets much easier.

However, both SUVs help you park with precision by including a Rear-view Camera. This turns your infotainment touchscreen into a video feed of the area directly behind your vehicle while in Reverse, so you can get a clearer view of what's behind you.
