All the four rivals have a similar capacity 2.0-liter engine, which even produces a comparable amount of torque and power.

Acceleration

We have to say that the BMW and the Cadillac are pretty much similar while going from 0-60 mph as well as the quarter-mile segment, going head-to-head in both the parameters. However, the Infiniti Q60 lags way behind its rivals, something the Infiniti engineers need to look into as quickly as possible.
