Compare 2019 INFINITI Q50 vs 2019 Lexus ES 350

Exterior Design and Features

Regardless of which of the eight available trims of the Q50 you take home, this sedan has a regal yet athletic body style that is irresistible. This is defined by a forward-facing stance with tapered, crisp hood lines and smoothed-over contours that flow throughout the side panels. Your Q50’s exterior may be equipped with auto on-off LED headlights with daytime running features, auto-leveling headlights, UV solar glass, an intelligent key, dual chrome exhaust finishers, and other gear. In comparison, the 2019 Lexus ES 350 has a smooth hood with LED headlights and a grille that both bend sharply inward. The roofline fades quickly down toward the trunk, and side contouring is minimal. Its exterior equipment includes daytime headlights, an optional sunroof, remote entry, power-adjusting side-view mirrors, and additional equipment.

Interior Style and Technology

The interior of the Q50 is defined by an angled dashboard that uniquely creates a cockpit-like feel while also promoting spaciousness. Curvature throughout the dashboard is enhanced by a 2-tone design with high-quality materials. Stacked touch-screens in the center of the dashboard give you easy access to the optional Bose sound system, the navigation system, vehicle information displays, and other technologies. Your new Q50 also is equipped with an auto climate control system, Bluetooth connectivity, voice recognition, a rearview monitor, powered and heated seats with memory capabilities and more. The ES 350 for 2019 is also well-appointed. Its dashboard has a vertical design with an outcropping that features manual controls. A touch-screen display rises out of the dashboard, and it provides controls for smartphone integration, the navigation system, and other technologies. A digital driver’s instrumentation screen and a heads-up display add to the features in the ES 350 for 2019.

Safety Equipment

As anticipated, both of these automakers have incorporated several driver’s assistance technologies into their models for superior safety on the road. For the Q50, these features include a lane departure warning with intervention, active lane control, a rear cross-traffic alert, a surround-view monitor, an advanced airbag system, blind zone monitoring, predictive forward collision warning with preventive braking and many other features. The ES 350’s safety equipment includes rain-sensing wipers, parking assistance, a blind spot monitor, pedestrian detection and more. While the vehicles rated comparably in many safety areas, the Q50 for 2019 had a superior score for the Overall Rollover rating.
