Comparison Review

Comfort
The INFINITI QX50 offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Subaru Ascent, with comparable head- and legroom. The Subaru Ascent will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the INFINITI QX50.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the INFINITI QX50 as you will with the Subaru Ascent, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The INFINITI QX50 is somewhat more expensive than the Subaru Ascent.

Dimensions
The INFINITI QX50 is a little narrower than the Subaru Ascent, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot. If you go with the INFINITI QX50, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Subaru Ascent.

Handling
The INFINITI QX50 has a smaller turning radius than the Subaru Ascent, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of horsepower, it's a virtual tie between the INFINITI QX50 and the Subaru Ascent.

Powertrain
With similar torque, the INFINITI QX50 and the Subaru Ascent are about even in transmitting their respective horsepower to the wheels.

Utility
The INFINITI QX50 has less seating than the Subaru Ascent, making the Subaru Ascent the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. The INFINITI QX50 has less cargo space than the Subaru Ascent, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
