2021 Audi A6 vs. 2021 Infiniti Q60
The 2021 Audi A6 is a quick and agile sedan with a sporty exterior, array of safety features, and impressive performance. How does it stack up against the 2021 INFINITI Q60, a coupe with a stylish look, opulent cabin and potent engine?
Design & Style
The INFINITI Q60 has two doors and the seats are covered in soft leather. It sits on nineteen inch wheels with shortened overhangs, swoopy lines, a back spoiler and twin exhaust pipes. The grille in front is wide with headlights that are narrow. Within the cabin passengers will be presented with two touch displays and the surfaces are covered in premium materials.
The Audi A6 is moderately sized. It can be purchased with four, six or eight cylinder power and its touch displays have been enlarged. It too has a prominent front grille with LEDs that are standardized, and those that buy the Allroad variant will get higher ground clearance. It can carry a maximum of four passengers and has a trunk with about 14 cubic feet for cargo.
Technology & Safety
The Audi A6 has received top scores from both the NHTSA, which gave it five stars, and the IIHS, which awarded it the Top Safety Pick designation. Its protective measures include emergency automated brakes, excellent external vision, lane and cruise control and driver assistance. Luxuries within its cabin include a navigation system, 9 inch touch display, the choice of Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, heated/cooled seats, panoramic sunroof and climate control.
The INFINITI Q60 is outfitted with many of the same safety functions as the Audi A6. It too has automated emergency brakes, cruise and lane control as well as a camera with surround view and headlights which are adaptive. The difference between the two is that while most of the Audi’s safety functions come standard, with the INFINITI you have to pay extra. Amenities within the Q60’s cabin include keyless start, powered and ventilated seats, a Bose sound system and climate control.
Performance
Those that purchase the INFINITI Q60 Red Sport will get a V6, dual turbo engine that is 3 liter and capable of generating 400 horsepower that is wedded to an automatic seven speed transmission. Those that purchase the Audi RS 6 Avant will get a dual turbo V8 engine that is 4 liter and capable of generating 591 horsepower, which enables it to accelerate from zero to sixty in around 4 seconds, with a 190 mile per hour top speed.
The Bottom Line
The Audi A6 has better standardized safety functions and superior horsepower, 0 to 60 acceleration times and top speed, and this combined with the INFINITI Q60’s inadequate fuel economy and clunky drive by wire mechanism for steering makes the A6 the winner.
