Both SUVs have plenty of cargo space, with 31.4 cubic feet in the compact crossover and 41.6 cubic feet in the larger model. The midsize INFINITI seats up to seven with an available third row, while the compact model can accommodate a maximum of five passengers.

 

The larger INFINITI adds a few extra standard features, including a panoramic moonroof, heated front seats, rain-sensing windshield wipers, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated steering wheel, and heated, power-folding mirrors. It also comes with leather upholstery and massaging front seats, while the smaller SUV gets synthetic leather with available upgrades to either real or quilted semi-aniline leather upholstery.

 

 

Performance

Both SUVs have an automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. The smaller crossover has a more fuel-efficient turbo-four that gets 268 hp, while the midsize has a more powerful 295-hp V6 that gives it a towing capacity of up to 3,500 lbs. You’ll get about 29 mpg highway with the former SUV and 26 mpg highway with the latter.

 

The compact INFINITI has a continuously variable transmission, while the midsize has a nine-speed automatic with paddle shifters. Both come standard with the INFINITI Drive Mode Selector, which lets you choose between Sport, Personal, Standard, Snow, or Eco modes. The larger SUV comes with all-season tires, while the compact INFINITI is outfitted with performance tires.

 

 

Driver Assistance

The smaller SUV comes with standard adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assistance, neither of which is available in the midsize model. On the other hand, the larger INFINITI adds predictive forward automatic collision.

 

Both vehicles feature a rearview camera, lane departure warning and prevention, blind-spot warning with intelligent blind spot intervention, rear cross-traffic alert with automatic emergency braking, and daytime running lights. The compact has a five-star overall crash test rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, while the midsize is a Top Safety Pick+ of the Insurance Institute for Highway ​Safety.

 

 

Tech Features

Both SUVs have standard Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a standard Wi-Fi hotspot and wireless charging pad. Each vehicle is also equipped with INFINITI’s Intelligent Key system, but the larger crossover has an enhanced version that stores your preferred settings for navigation, climate, audio, and seating position.

 

Finally, while the compact crossover comes in five solid exterior paint options, its midsize sibling offers five two-tone finishes with Obsidian Black accents.
