None of them. I don't think there is one brand/model you listed that has a decent record of reliability. I would not buy any GM products. Infiniti is just a high priced Nissan, which has spotty reliability. Audi is an offshoot of VW, which again isn't the greatest in the reliability department.
Why not a Lexus? You can't do much better than Toyota and its upscale sibling Lexus when it comes to reliability.

If you're leasing, why care about reliability? They'll ALL be reliable during the lease period.
Jesus.
Just drive them and pick which one fits you and your life better.
Greetings! Within the next 6 months, I'm looking to lease one of the above Luxury SUV's for 3 years.
Which SUV would you select, and why?
Out of the choices you offered, I would pick the XC40 or the Q5.
If you are open to a suggestion, then I would recommend you take a look at the new Volkswagen Tiguan.
We bought one because the top trim Tiguan offers 85-90% of the luxury at 70-75% of the cost of a Volvo or Audi with a 6 year/72,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty.

Not necessarily so. I bought a car brand new in 2012. Within 33K miles the front brakes already needed to be replaced. Mechanic said there was an issue with the brake calipers which was causing uneven wear on the pads, and that next time the calipers should be replaced as well. In addition to that, I had about 4 recalls on the car in the 4 years that I owned it (so 3 recalls during the first 3 years), ranging from problems with the airbags (not the Takata recall) to the shifter and improper machining of engine parts. Sure, all of this was still covered under warranty, but how much is your time worth to you? Who wants to leave their car at the dealership service department for a day each time a new problem comes up?
If all you're interested in is impressing your neighbors with an expensive car in your driveway, yeah go ahead and lease any luxury car. But whether you're leasing or buying, you're still spending your hard earned money each month to drive that car, so why reward the car manufacturer who can't even manage to give you a trouble-free car at an MSRP of $50K or more?

Except that all of those he listed will be reliable during the lease period. We're not talking about an old Range Rover here (even though I'd drive one of those, as well).
I would go with the Audi and the Volvo, especially as the Volvo is a newer design so it's not everywhere. Plus, you can get it with two-tone paint, which adds an interesting touch. The XT4, however, is more a competitor to the Q3 in terms of size, than the Q5. I would consider the BMW as well, and even the Jaguar F-Pace as that's comparable to a Q5. Of the choices selected, I would look at a Q5 and then Volvo.
