3.5-LITER V6 ENGINE WITH INFINITI DIRECT RESPONSE HYBRID

A combined system power of 360 horsepower responds to your call with thrilling immediacy while it achieves a surprising 32 highway mpg.4 It transitions from all-electric mode to full-power hybrid mode with an intense and organic response.

3.0-LITER V6 TWIN-TURBO 400-HP ENGINE Inspired by the

legendary VQ engines, this 400-hp V6 twin-turbo engine integrates water-cooled air charging, advanced electronic valve timing control, and two turbo speed sensors for faster response at a higher peak.

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

—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

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.

CAPTURE THE INTENSITY OF MOTION

Unleash the intelligence and force of the Q50, and free yourself to drive precisely the way you desire.

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

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.
