Estimates based on a driving average of 12,000 miles per year

Used Condition	Trade In Price	Private Party Price	Dealer Retail Price
Outstanding	$ 15,813	$ 18,139	$ 20,495

Rounding out the list of dynamic upgrades are driver-adjustable suspension dampers, available in certain V6 models. In earlier Q50s, we found the combination of a sport suspension and run-flat tires to be unnecessarily harsh for this type of car. The new adjustable setup allows drivers to tailor the ride to their tastes, from a comfort-oriented normal setting to the corner-happy Sport+ mode.

The 2016 Infiniti Q50's myriad improvements help make it one of the more compelling entries in the compact luxury sedan class. However, there are a few very strong competitors also worth your consideration. The sporty 2016 BMW 3 Series is available with several engines that range from an economical diesel to a powerful turbocharged six-cylinder. For prestige, it's hard to beat the 2016 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, which boasts an impeccably trimmed cabin. There's also the 2016 Cadillac ATS for maximum handling thrills or the 2016 Acura TLX if you want a more understated approach to luxury and performance. Overall, though, we think the revised Q50 is a worthy pick for the small luxury sedan class.

The 2016 Infiniti Q50 is a five-passenger midsize luxury sport sedan that is offered in six trims: 2.0T, 2.0T Premium, 3.0T Premium, Sport, Red Sport 400 and Hybrid Premium. All-wheel drive (AWD) is also available for each trim.

Standard features for the Q50 2.0T include 17-inch alloy wheels, automatic LED headlights, LED foglights and taillights, dual chrome exhaust tips, heated mirrors, keyless ignition and entry, cruise control, dual-zone automatic climate control, leatherette (premium vinyl) upholstery, eight-way power front seats, a leather-wrapped tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, column-mounted shift paddles, rear air vents, a rearview camera, twin touchscreen displays, Infiniti's InTouch infotainment system, voice controls, Bluetooth connectivity and a six-speaker sound system with a CD player, two USB ports, an auxiliary audio jack, satellite radio and HD radio.

The 2.0T Premium and 3.0T Premium are equipped identically, with the 3.0T powered by a V6 engine rather than the 2.0T's four-cylinder. They both come with the 2.0T's features as well as a sunroof, an auto-dimming rearview mirror and a 14-speaker Bose surround-sound audio system. Leather upholstery is optional.

On top of 3.0T Premium equipment, the Q50 Sport adds 19-inch wheels, a unique front fascia, adjustable suspension dampers, bigger brakes, leather upholstery and front sport seats with power lumbar, power side adjustments and manual thigh adjustment.

The high-octane Red Sport 400 includes an even more powerful engine, along with brushed exhaust tips and more aggressive summer tires (for RWD models).

Available on all above trims is the Premium Plus package, which adds auto-dimming mirrors, heated front seats, power lumbar for the driver seat, a power-adjustable heated steering wheel, driver memory settings, a navigation system and 60/40-split folding rear seats. The Driver Assistance package is also available and includes automatic wipers, a blind-spot monitor, front and rear collision warning intervention systems and front and rear parking sensors with cross-traffic alert.

In addition to the hybrid powertrain, the Hybrid Premium includes all the features from the Premium models with the Driver Assistance  and Premium Plus packages (minus the auto-dimming outside mirrors), leather upholstery and maple wood trim.

All 3.0T and Hybrid models are available with the Technology package, with adaptive headlights, automatic high-beam headlight control, adaptive cruise control, a blind-spot prevention system, a lane departure warning and lane-keeping assist system, an interior air purifier and a reactive gas pedal that can help minimize wasteful driving.

The 2016 Infiniti Q50 is available with one of three engines, all of which are paired to a seven-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is optional with all engines.

The base 2.0T engine is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that produces 208 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. The Q50 3.0T gets a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 that makes 300 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. A modified version of this engine is used in the Q50 Red Sport 400, and here it churns out 400 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque.

EPA estimated fuel economy is 26 mpg combined (23 city/31 highway) for the rear-wheel-drive 2.0T. The 3.0T gets 22 mpg combined (20/26). All-wheel-drive versions get slightly less.

There's also the Q50 Hybrid. It gets its power from a 3.5-liter V6 that is paired with an electric motor fed by a lithium-ion battery pack. >Combined power output is 360 hp, which in testing allowed it to reach 60 mph in only 5.3 seconds. The EPA estimates fuel economy at 30 mpg combined (28/34) for the rear-wheel-drive Hybrid and slightly less with all-wheel drive.

Standard safety features on all 2016 Infiniti Q50 models include antilock brakes, stability and traction control, front side airbags, full-length side curtain airbags, a rearview camera and the Infiniti Connection telematics service with roadside assistance, automatic collision notification, stolen vehicle reporting and remote door unlocking.

We haven't yet tested the Q50 with either of its new engines, but in the past we've praised the outgoing 3.7-liter V6 as being a standout in the class. We hope the new turbocharged engines meet or surpass the high bar set by last year's motor, which offered smooth and decisive acceleration. We've driven the hybrid model enough to know that its drivetrain is prone to unsettling and unpredictable stumbles and lurches. Braking is also divergent, with the gas-only Q50 benefitting from consistent and confident results, while the hybrid suffers from a noticeable lack of smoothness and stability. In our test track panic stops, the hybrid's pedal would sometimes go all the way to the floor. The ride quality also suffered with the hybrid model, with an unusual and objectionable harshness. The Q50, on the other hand, is firm, but still compliant. In terms of handling and steering, the Q50 receives high marks for its quick responses, composed ride and predictable nature.

There's plenty to like inside the 2016 Infiniti Q50, but there are also a few items to be cautiously aware of at the same time. The interior features fine materials that compare favorably against other luxury cars in this class, and there's enough visual interest to keep it looking fresh. The standard seats can be overly firm, and taller passengers may desire more thigh support. The sport seats remedy these issues with more supportive bolstering and adjustments. Rear seats are roomy enough for taller adults in terms of head- and legroom.

Our first opportunity to drive the 2016 Q50 was behind the wheel of the raucous Red Sport 400. Thanks to its 400-horsepower engine and slick-shifting 7-speed automatic, power comes effortlessly. Refined and composed, the Q50 is eager to cater to the driver's whims, beckoning you to go faster. The Q50 holds the road nicely, offering a good balance between comfort and responsiveness. If you don't drive it like you stole it, leisurely cruising in the Q50 is quite pleasant. You can either choose more traditional rack-based power steering with good feedback and more natural feel, or the revised drive-by-wire Direct Adaptive Steering with more ways to personalize the car's settings, instant response and greatly reduced steering vibration. Interior materials quality and fit and finish are very good, and there's logical placement of the controls throughout. The center stack uses a handy 2-screen system that's intuitive and easy to operate while driving.

ENGINE LINEUP Infiniti has expanded the Q50's engine options to four, giving buyers the best-ever variety in the Q50 lineup. Engines include a turbo-4 as the frugal entry-level choice, the volume-leading 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6, the fuel-efficient hybrid and the 400-horsepower twin-turbo V6. PREDICTIVE FORWARD-COLLISION WARNING Not only can the Infiniti Q50 warn the driver when the vehicle ahead is making a sudden stop -- the new Predictive Forward Collision Warning senses when the car that's two cars ahead is coming to a stop, giving you more time to react safely.

Every seat of the Q50 is nicely sculpted, with the back seat offering a tighter fit (normal for its competitive set). Controls are driver-centric, but the dual-screen system in the center stack is easy to reach for both people in front. The 2-screen system uses a combination of hard buttons and touch-screen controls, and they work well together to make controlling navigation, audio and more, easy to achieve without risking driver distraction. The design is clean and modern, and as you'd expect in a luxury car, fit and finish are very good, as is the quality of the materials used.

The Infiniti Q50 looks basically the same as it did last year, with its main exterior styling cues in the form of a bold front grille and curvy wraparound sheet metal. For 2016, the Red Sport 400 is the most distinctive-looking of the lineup. It has staggered 19-inch alloy wheels with summer performance run-flat tires and special exhaust tips. Another clear sign you're looking at a Q50 Red Sport 400: the telltale red "S" badge on the trunk.

The 2016 2.0t comes into the picture as the Infiniti Q50's well-equipped base model. Features such as hill-start assist, Infiniti's active trace-control cornering safety system, 17-inch machine-finished alloy wheels with run-flat tires, vented disc brakes, and LED headlights, fog lights and Daytime Running Lights are standard. Also included are 8-way-power adjustable front Leatherette seats, as is a leather steering wheel and Infiniti's dual-screen display. Dual-zone climate control, RearView Monitor, Bluetooth with hands-free text messaging, auto-up/down windows and cruise control come with every Q50.

Since all Q50s have run-flat tires, Infiniti's compact sports sedan doesn't come with a temporary spare. Memory seats, leather surfaces and a power tilt/telescoping wheel are options, as are adaptive front lighting, auto-dimming outside mirrors and a moonroof. A good mix of posh and high-tech, the Q50's options include the fantastic Around View 360-degree monitor, climate control with the Plasmacluster air purifier, rear sonar system, navigation, Intelligent Cruise Control, blind-spot warning, lane-departure warning, and Direct Adaptive Steering with lane-departure prevention.

2016 Infiniti Q50 Consumer Reviews

3.0t Premium 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 7A)

Catch me if you can

This is my first Infiniti but it won't be my last, perfect blend of sport and comfort! The power of the V6 twin turbo is amazing given the HP rating, so much quicker than other 300 hp cars I have owned. Guessing its due to the turbos offering torque coming on strong at just 1500 rpms. Maybe it's under rated? Anyway, very happy with nearly everything. Given a magic wand I would ask that blind spot monitoring and other the safety items be standard fare. Also it should be real leather! Sticker was 45k but got it down to just 38.5k.

2.0t Premium 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 7A)

The best car I have owned, totally fun to drive

I also own the 750li so I was a little skeptical on the 2016 q50 turbo. I love the handling and this car hugs the road in a way I have not felt before, it is a quiet whisper grabbing the curbs of the road even steep inclines.. This car is a lot a power and bang for the buck include the ease of "total" voice navigation for all the controls. I also love the braking power. It gives total break without the noise or the jerk, very amazing in a 4 cylinder car. I love it and it is worth every penny of the $ 41k price tag.. I do a lot of interstate and city and I am getting 24.5 miles per gallon. I have saved 52 kg of fuel economy with the 8 months that I have drove the car.. I have put way more miles on this car than I thought that I would.. I am now up to 20k miles, but dang she is beautiful and fun to drive..

Red Sport 400 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 7A)

Great car...understated and unappreciated

I have been in the market for a new car for a few months and kept coming back to the Q50S "RS400". This is the best bang for the buck in the industry. It is a rocket!! I was also looking and driving the Lexus GS350 F-Sport, BMW 535i M-sport, Audi A6, MB E400, and I kept coming back to the Infiniti. MSRP was $ 60,660 every option available and out the door for $ 52,675 so there is room to negotiate. Good luck finding another vehicle with this much tech and power for that price. Highly recommended!!

Red Sport 400 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 7A)

Best car I've driven in this price range.

At first I was skeptical about Infiniti in general. I knew that they had the G-35 series which were popular in the 2 door version. I was not impressed by the 4 door models..too small for my taste. When the Q50 3.7 came out my wife leased one and I started driving it occasionally. She absolutely loves it and I fell in love with the Q50 series as well. When the Q50 turbo came out and I had an opportunity to road test one I actually got it that day! It's perfect 2017 Q50 RS 400 twin turbo all wheel drive! What an amazing car for the price. It's a rocket period! Put it in Sport + and you literally need to hold yourself together because by the time you realize what's going on mostly likely the speedometer is way past 100mph. I have no complaints about the car. It has power, looks sharp, comfortable seating, and it has so many option of driving that it's a ball to drive. Mine only has the navigation option and that's it. If you have 50k burning a hole in your pocket give this car a try, you will not regret it!

"Horrible tires drag down a great Sport Sedan"

This is a great car, and a rare find if you don't like front wheel drive, but the tires are just awful and the entertainment system is frustratingly slow. It would be an easy 5.0 rating with better tires or better GPS/Stereo system. Being able to remote start, "find my car", and track it down if it is stolen through the Infiniti app is a huge bonus.

"Above Expectations"

Great car, no apple car play but a joy to drive.

casuallythinning, 08/10/2018

"3.0 T Luxury & Performance at a great price"

Hard to believe how much more I like the Q50 than my outgoing 2015 428i. Engine is much more powerful, especially from a full stop, with no turbo-lag. Seats are more comfortable and ride is better. Handling is great, but a slight notch down from the BMW. The DAS takes a little getting used to and some tuning to optimize to the drivers liking, but is great for driving on anything from interstates to twisty back roads. The 16 speaker Bose stereo is fantastic, especially in driver surround mode. Interior materials quality is very good and equal to my outgoing BMW. InTouch system takes a little while to set up, but once it is done it is very easy to use. Unlike some cars, Bluetooth sound quality is very good. The safety features, including birds eye camera and dynamic driver assistance work very well.
