AN ELECTRIFYING CONNECTION The Q50 steers with innovation.
Choose Hydraulic Electronic Power Steering, RACK EPS1 with Sport
mode, or 2nd-gen Direct Adaptive Steering.®1 The world’s first digital
steering system—and available only on Q50 models powered by a
V6 engine—Direct Adaptive Steering® steers quickest while filtering
out unwanted vibration. Tuned for a more natural connection, it also
offers multiple settings to personalize performance.
ENHANCED HANDLING The Dynamic Digital Suspension
1
—which is
available only on Q50 3.0t Sport and Q50 Red Sport 400 models—
monitors chassis vitals and continually adjusts the suspension to deliver
a smooth ride yet maintains tight handling in the turns. Activate Sport
mode and dial up the suspension for even sharper handling whenever you
feel like it. Working along with Direct Adaptive Steering,®1 it completes a
digital handling system for confidence over any winding road.
MORE RESPONSIVE BRAKING With ventilated discs and 4-piston
opposed front calipers and 2-piston opposed rear calipers, the Sport
Brakes1—only available on Sport models—provide great stopping force
from both sides of the rotor at the same time for better bite, more
friction and direct feel than standard brakes. On the Red Sport 400,
these calipers are painted a track-inspired red for visual distinction.
A CONTINUOUS RUSH Acceleration Swell is our vision of power,
dedicated to delivering a shape and feel to acceleration. By precisely
tuning the engine to unleash torque at a broader rev range, the force
you feel seems to increase the faster you go, making Acceleration
Swell feel more like a limitless rush than a momentary thrill.
ENHANCING THE DRIVE The INFINITI Drive Mode Selector allows
you to personalize the driver settings—from steering, engine and
suspension inputs—to best fit your needs of the moment.
INTUITIVE TRACTION Intelligent All-Wheel Drive
1
adjusts for better
available traction by sending anywhere from zero to 50% of the
power to the front wheels when you need it, and 100% to the rear
wheels for sporty response when you don’t. You get all-wheel drive
traction without sacrificing rear-wheel drive feel.

INTENSITY

AERODYNAMIC ADVANTAGE The upper and lower body of the
Q50 directs air to flow over, around and under the vehicle, turning
it into effective downforce. The overall design achieves zero lift at
the front and rear and helps reduce the effect of wind turbulence
at higher speeds.
SIGNATURE STARE OF INTENSITY Undeniably INFINITI, the
human-eye-like LED headlights and taillights replicate each other
whether the lights are on or off.
DESIGN DISTINCTION In signature INFINITI style, the crescent-
shaped C-pillar’s sculpted surfaces exude elegant, fluid motion.
IMPRESSION AMPLIFIED Expressing signature INFINITI design,
the double arch grille is prominently placed front and center. The
arc of the bottom, like a natural reflection to that of the top, gives
the front fascia a distinctive appearance.
ATHLETIC STANCE Large 19-inch alloy wheels
1
not only
complement the sporty proportions of the Q50 but are designed
to make handling more responsive. The lightweight construction
inherently reduces unsprung weight and helps contribute to quicker
turn-in and a better ride.
SHAPED WITH
PURPOSE AND
INTENSITY
Break free from convention with design that adds
a new dimension to premium styling and leaves
an unmistakable impression wherever you go.
