We also have to give the adaptive cruise control system a shining review; it does an excellent job of maintaining a safe distance from the vehicle ahead of you. Other optional safety features, such as the blind-spot warning and lane departure prevention systems, keep an eye out for dangers you might not catch, like accidental lane drift or a small car lurking in your blind spot.

Better yet, it includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, smartphone integration technology that provides easy access to your music library and maps apps. The Q50 even includes a Wi-Fi modem, making it possible to subscribe to and enjoy an on-the-go internet connection.

Power and Performance

Except for the Red Sport, every Q50 trim model features a 300-horsepower twin-turbo V6. That’s ample power to send this luxury sedan streamlining into fast-moving traffic as well as flying past any slow-moving traffic.

And, just like you’d expect in a modern luxury sedan, the seven-speed automatic transmission delivers silky smooth shifting action. Standard rear-wheel drive lends itself to a sporty performance, and optional all-wheel drive makes things even sportier.

2021 Infiniti Q50 Suspension

The high-performance Q50 Red Sport is the only trim model to feature an upgraded version of the engine, pumping out 400 horses for even more on-road thrills. And the Red Sport also comes standard with all-wheel drive, automatically sending power to the front wheels whenever necessary.

Standard:

  • 3.0L twin-turbo V6 engine (300 hp, 295 lb.-ft.)

Fuel Economy

Although the Q50 luxury sedan puts performance in the forefront, its powertrains offer a reasonable balance of efficiency. If you choose a Q50 with all-wheel drive, EPA ratings drop slightly due to the extra weight of the all-wheel-drive system.

  • 3.0L V6: 23 mpg combined (20 city/29 highway mpg)
  • 3.0L V6 AWD: 22 mpg combined (19/27 mpg)
  • Red Sport 3.0L V6: 22 mpg combined (20/26 mpg)
  • Red Sport 3.0L V6 AWD: 22 mpg combined (19/26 mpg)
