If there were to be a slicker coupé version of the 3-Series, the 2020 BMW 4-Series would be it! Despite being more compact to achieve this slicker look, the practicality and performance of the car have not been compromised. The 4-Series has an all-round appeal that many car makers has failed to replicate. On the other hand, the 2020 Infiniti Q60 is a great looking coupé and has a lot of technology in them. Here is a comparison between both cars.
 Design & Style
The 2020 BMW 4-Series has BMW’s signature driver-focused dashboard, providing comfortable reach to the controls. There are multiple adjustments for the steering wheel and seats, allowing you to have a much more comfortable ride. It is a great option for family-conscious buyers as there is quite a lot of space in the rear seats and in the trunk. The materials used in the interior are premium and the components are well-put together.
Trimmed with semi-aniline leather and black textured soft plastic, the seats and interior of the 2020 Infiniti Q60 is really luxurious. There are multiple adjustments for the steering wheel and seats. However, there might not be enough of such adjustments and head room might be limited for taller drivers. Also, what’s disappointing is that the buttons might come off as cheap too. Otherwise, the interior of the Infiniti Q60 would have been great!
Technology & Safety
All 4 series models get satellite navigation, radio, Bluetooth and a USB port. The iDrive infotainment system is excellent and is projected on a 6.5-inch color screen. In addition to the mandatory safety features in most cars, the 4-Series has a wide range of hi-tech safety systems in place. Active cruise control, reverse camera, lane-departure warning and speed-limit display are some examples of the additional safety features. The 4-Series has also done marvelously well in crash test ratings.
The infotainment system is projected on a pair of touchscreens that are placed on top of each other in the middle of the dashboard. The top screen offers navigation services and infotainment. The bottom screen takes care of the car settings and various applications. While they may look modern, the interface might be confusing to use and slow to respond. Lane departure warning, blind spot warning and drive assist technologies are some of the safety features in place.
Performance
With a standard six-cylinder, 3.0-litre engine, the 2020 Infiniti Q60 reaches a maximum output of 300 horsepower. The 2020 BMW 4-Series has a 4-cylinder, 2.0-litre turbocharged engine that produces a maximum output of 248 horsepower. Despite having weaker performing engines, the 4-Series have a wider range of engines to choose from to fit your preference. If you want to get a better-performing engine, the 435d xDrive model of the 4-Series has an engine that performs at 308 horsepower. The 4-Series is also more fuel-efficient than that of the Q60.
The Bottom Line
The 2020 Infiniti Q60 is an excellent car and offers many new features and design improvements from its predecessors. However, the car pales in comparison to the 2020 BMW 4-Series in many categories – better dashboard and infotainment system. The 2020 BMW 4-Series is just that much better.
