The 2021 Infiniti Q50 and 2021 Acura TLX are two models of Japanese luxury sedans that share an enviable reputation for reliability. Partly for this reason, many buyers, fed up with the reliability problems of German luxury cars, are turning to the Q50 or TLX. That said, there are many differences between the TLX and the Q50 when it comes to performance, equipment and price. Let's take a closer look by taking a look at three places where the Infiniti Q50 has an advantage over the Acura TLX.
Performance
The 2021 Infiniti Q50 comes standard with a powerful 3.0-liter turbo V6 engine that delivers 300 standard horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. This engine therefore offers 28 more horsepower and 15 lb-ft more torque than the TLX. This translates to a 0-100 km/h in 5.5 seconds for the Q5 while the TLX takes about 1.0 second longer. Needless to say, the performance is much livelier in the Q50 and the Infiniti offers a lot more interesting handling and driving pleasure.
Equipment
The 2021 Infiniti Q50 offers a host of features you won't find in the TLX. We could have listed everything, but it's easier to show it to you:
