I just got a 2015 Q50 with all the bells and whistles. All I can saw is WOW! She's a beast. The stereo is phenomenal. You cannot hear any outside noise, especially with the stereo turned up. It's a smooth ride, and very fun to drive, especially on a windy road. Can I say fast? Her get up and go, goes. Oh, and my friends do say her lights look MEAN! The only think I don't care for are the mats. They do pick up (and hold) every bit of lint, cat hair, etc. Oh, and Idid't like the steering wheel at first, it felt funny and I chalked it up to the heated steering wheel function, but now that I've been driving her for a couple of weeks, it feels much better. I guess the oils from your hands make it feel much better. All in all, I LOVE my car!
I just switched from a Lexus IS250 to the Infiniti Q50 and I must say that I glad I made the switch. Dont get me wrong I love the exterior of the new IS but I just cant get over the interior in the new model. The Infiniti Q50 looks amazing inside and out and it drives like a dream. I will admit they need to work out the bugs in the new Intouch system but its not a deal breaker for me because the system works and provides a lot of different option to keep you connect to the outside world while in the car.
I bought the Q50 premium AWD about a month ago. I love it. Looks absolutely sick and faster than hell. I actually waited until TLX was out to compare them. I liked the TLX but the power and looks on Q50 for me were just so much better. However everyone likes what they like.
Mr. E I did the same and ended up buying the TLX. The best way to decide is to determine what your priority is. If you are looking for comfort cruiser that is rare and take roadtrips, take the TLX. If you want sporty looks and plan to use the vehicle to turn heads and don't plan on long distance driving, get the Q50.
kanamekuran23 i have an s60r right now so i cant go backwards with performance and i dont want to go backwards with comfort but ill have to make a sacrifice somewhere if i want either car. No interest in Acura at all tho really.
If 330 hp isn't enough for you, you could always buy a twin turbo kit from gtm.GTM makes twin turbo kits for the vq37vhr which is also used in the infiniti g37 and nissan 370z. Their TT kit makes about 550 whp(about 630 engine hp) at 10 psi.The Q50's engine has also been tested and it can make 550 whp reliablly for a daily driver and weekend cars can make 600 rwhp+ at 12 psi. Thats enough power for the Q50 to make mid 10 sec to low 11 sec et 1/4 mile and 0-60 in 3 secs!
I recently leased an Infiniti Q50 Sport AWD, NAV, Deluxe Touring Package which includes the I love it "Direct Adaptive Steering System". This vehicle also has the Technology safety Package. A much improved vehicle over the G35/37 from 2007-2013 in terns of style, room, comfort, quietness, performance, steering, technology, and fuel economy. The drive select system will also allow you to personally custom your engine-transmission/steering preferences. A outstanding vehicle with Sport/Deluxe/Tech.
Exhaust System Premature Rusting on the Infiniti Q50 sedan. If you have or know someone with a Q50 or a Q50 hybrid for the last 10-13 months or 10,000 to 14,000 miles., take a moment to look under vehicle to inspect entire exhaust system especially resonators, muffler and dual tail pipes for premature rust. Infiniti dealerships are not covering any type/alternative replacement exhaust system or catalyst converter for free. I have notified Infiniti Affairs concerning this matter.
I drive a 2010 G37S. I took mine in for some work and I got a q50 as a loaner car. The way the q50 drives. In my opinion blows the g37 out of the water, it's way more responsive and feels much lighter to me. Plus the technology and the touch screen is freaking awesome.
I test drove the premium version with rear wheel drive yesterday and I loved it. I'm not the one buying the car, my friend is, but I liked it so much that I'm considering getting one next year when it is time to upgrade my 2005 Honda Civic. I want to wait for the 2015 model so that I can start seeing more reviews for this 2014 model and see how my friend likes it after a year of owning it.
For all you saying the g50 doesn't have a manual shift, you're wrong. I've got one. The manual shift is engaged by pulling the stick to the left after you're in drive.
Amazing car, looks so good! and i have a question to you, Autoguide, your camera equipment is really high leveld,one of the best i have seen for a youtube channel.. even the cameras outside the car are so sharp and good looking.. what cameras are you using?
Hell yeah consumers respond,, Just bought one today... Love it... I hated the G37 too rigid.. This was fast and relaxing and the technology in the car is overwhelming.
How can you not see the face?? 2:29 you have the eyes(headlights ofcourse duh), the Infiniti badge uncannily looks like a nose(smiley nose anyone? ^) and below it is the mouth! The rear view mirrors are ears??
I picked up a used one about 3 months ago. All the toys. As a car it’s nearly perfect. My only gripe: a/c seats are not available at any price. Seriously Infiniti, it has about the most amazing power train ever, it will nearly drive itself, I’m averaging over 30 mpg, it has the best stereo in the universe, the wipers even turn themselves on, but no air conditioned seats. 🤔
It is tough to beat a g37. I fix them at work and all I can say is top notch on all aspects. As good as a Benz I think. I think it is a looser strategy to dump a name that is almost a legend. Rename it to g37 because people trust that name.
I agree with design is isn't too futuristic like lexus is350 and isn't too conservative like german auto makers. It strikes nice balance between being modern with advance technology and it not isolate potential buyers by going to high tech. I can't wait for Q60 coupe. Power isn't too important because its strong engine internals can handle the boost of after market supercharger, twin turbo and single turbo kits. After market support will be strong because jdm tuner car in tuxedo =)
Hey man I totally agree with you. These infinitis just don't drop in price at all. Even for a 10 year old it still cost half the original price or more. Now I have to buy something like a Chevy or Ford..YUUUcKEEEE!!!
I own both a G37s and now a Q50s Hybrid and can attest to the fact that the Q50 is faster, more refined, and more luxurious. Also, the car looks very good and I have received numerous compliments on its aesthetics. The steer-by-wire is fine for this aggressive driver and the interior is one of the best I've seen. My only qualm is with the regenerative brakes which can be very finicky. Otherwise, this is a better value than you would get with German competitors and comes with more power and torque.
how do you like your IS? I'm thinking about getting one, but the CLA has my eye. have you looked at other cars? If you have to 250, is the engine really as bad as people say?
wow, thanks, I actually didn't know that! the only problem is, for the average buyer, they won't know that. To them, the rear looks like a Mazda 6 or Hyundai Genesis. And it does look like those cars. Even if they came up with the design, other companies seem to have commercialized it first, unfortunately
While the tech in steering, throttle response was covered, the reviewer did not get into the suspension setting. Reading Motortrend, they were critical of this area - I think a car that wants to compete with Audi, BMW etc. and now even the Caddie ATS has to have at least the option of high adjustable suspension. The ability to go from an interstate cruiser to a canyon hustler is a must on these $30,000 + "sporty" sedans.
Saw this car last night and my my, it's a work of art. And the starting isn't that bad. I'd get this over a Mercedes Benz C350. But the CLA is an eye catcher as well.
German automakers never come with the after market support you'll get from a jdm sports car, a twin turbo 560 rwhp(about engine 640 hp) @ 10 psi (it's barely breathing at this boost level) that makes supercars that are 3x times more expensive look slow IS NOT BORING!!! The trill of shocking ferrari owners who thought you just own a luxury family sedan.Do you know there is TT v36 skyline 370gt(g37) and fairlady z(370z) that make 600 rwhp reliably on stock engine & make low 11 sec 1/4 mile?
I was close to getting the q50h sport, but decided to go with Lexus instead. Infiniti makes great vehicles btw, but I was looking more towards luxury then sporty.
You have a point. Here in Cali I am not seeing many but tastes vary from region to region. I'm curious how many they sold compared to the G37 from last year. They are a deal though. I am with you 100% on that. The BMW has always evolving good styling but at what cost and constant repair bills. Not that Nissan is great. They have had their flops but the G37 seems to not have many quirks- good car.
for me its not renaming a car, its more like bringing back the Q line, I drive an infiniti Q45 and its the same concept as this car, a sport sedan. My car is a 4.5 liter V8 but only produce 340hp, this new improve Q series can produce 20 more horsepower with an smaller engine while also improving in mpgs. the last year they produce the Q45 was in 2006 and 8 years later here we have its came back. This is a familiar move with cars manufactures
It's has the same engine as 370z and nissan skyline 370gt coupes(G37 coupe), GTM and other twin turbo, single turbo, and supercharger kit company will make and adapt the kits to the Q50. They're in development stage maybe by new year the kits will be for sale.
Because Q will be used for the whole Infiniti range. Q60 will presumably be the name of a new sports coupe based on this sedan or, more simply, the new name of the G37 Coupe. Q70 will be the M's new name. The number stands now for the market placing, and not the engine anymore. When the new naming will be extended to the whole range, SUVs included, it'll make sense.
I love the way it looks. Much better than the G37 IMO. To me, it has the size of an E-class Mercedes benz without the price. Much larger rear seat than the Lexus IS or the BMW 3 series. Much lower cost of ownership than BMW or MB. Lastly, I can get all wheel drive for snow skiing for under $50,000:) WINNING!
I put a 24F battery in my q50 and everything in my car turns on but the engine, when I try to start it the car clicks once and doesn’t turn on. The recommended battery size for a q50 is a 35, does it matter?
I still don't understand why they would change the nomenclature of their vehicles again maybe its just a personal preference issue on my part but I feel like a name means something for example mercedes keeping the e and s classes distinctively as such for over 50 years or so in my opinion it gives a brand a feeling of stability besides them posting good sales quarterly
I don't think they need more power as much as marketing. I don't know where you live but here in Canada, Q50 is an absolute bargain compared to BMWs, about 10k cheaper for an equivalent. And I am seeing more and more Q50s everyday, also I'm waiting for mine to arrive next month. They are definitely selling lol.
The only problem with Infinity is that they're just like Acura, they might have all the trimmings of luxury but no one will ever perceive them as "high-end" This car is probably around 50-60 brand new. A 2007 3 series for 15grand looks better and more expensive.
Infiniti is on top of its Game and im sure this Q50 will sell way more units then G37 with no problem Good Job Infiniti Now just Need to Invest in a Adaptive Suspension System and have sebastian vettel tune it and after that this will be the best Sport sedan in the Segment
Anyone notice the gap on both C pillars inside? I've been checking out the Infiniti Q50 forums and threads with owners facing navi problems among other bugs. Its to be expected but the amount of negative responses and ownership doesn't help Infiniti.
How? Personally, I think the MDX is one of the best suv's in the class. I don't like the new styling though. The TL is weird looking, but its a good reliable car with good handling. Hopefully the new one will be better looking. I'm not a huge fan of Acura, but mechanically, they build very good cars. Styling seems to be their main issue.
i have a q50 sport but mines dont have the front or backup sensors and its 2014 like yours... i did take off my bumper and noticed a wire hanging, maybe thats for my sensors idk... i do know my current bumper doesnt have it at all....
Technically, yes they did. BMW also changed their 3 series coupe name designation to the 4 series coupe. All manufacturers are trying to revive their brands by offering what people may think is a new product when in fact it is the redesign of a new car with a different name. This a marketing strategy, it allows manufacturers to open a market for new customers with a lower or higher price tag then the previous 3 series coupe which btw is now discontinued due to the new 4 series aka (3 series).
In my opinion, the only mistake Infiniti made with this car is changing its name. Should just called it the new G37, avoid confusing current customers. BMW and Merc did not rename their 3 series or c-classes.
Same here! How odd! I really like the capability of the 4 wheel drive since I’m going to school in Colorado possibly. But I’ll rarely take it off road so I think I’ve decided to go for the Infiniti.
May be the wheel base is the same and the dimensions similar to the G37 but because the partnership between Renault/Nissan and Mercedes Benz the new Q50 is based on Mercedes platform
that question isnt even up for discusision. the q50 costs about the same, has 90 more hp, is much, much more reliable. (japanese naturally aspirated engine vs german turbo 4) it will costs a huge amount of money less yearly to mantain as well. in terms of resale its hard to say, probably about the same based on looking at 2009 328i and 2009 g37s.
A 53,000+ vehicle such as this Infiniti Q50 should include cup holder covers, heated/cooled front seats, rear heated seats, power folding outside mirrors, and rear power shade. For 10-13k less also have an interest in a Chrysler 300/Dodge charger and a Hyundai Genesis they all have climate controlled front seats and Rear HEATED seats. The Chrysler 300 and Hyundai Genesis have a POWER rear shade. Also the new 2014 Lexus IS and Acura TL advance have available cooled/heated front seats...
A Mazda 6 in the front and Hyundai Sonata tailights in the back. Infiniti went the Volkswagen Jetta route and stopped being creative towards the back of the car. Other than that, this car is going to be great!
the Q45 was the best car infiniti ever made before the G series was introduced, to bring it back is nostalgic but dont kill the G kill the M series at least. the Q50 is and should be a replacement for the M45.
Hey guys, this new sport sedan with optional sport pck. Sprints from 0 to 60 in just 4.9 sec. Now the z370 with identical engine but much lighter can only achieve around 5.1. I don't get it.
i cant wait to check out this car in person but i gotta say, after test driving the new Lexus IS, that thing is an absolute stunner in person. the lines flow alot better in person and interior is way too gorgeous. the new Q50 has a striking front end but honestly thats just about it. the rest of the car is bland and the interior just as boring as a brand new Hyundia
Just got a Q50 last night and I'm in love. I can't believe how fast this thing is. Love the body and the interior and the two touch screens.
i know its been a while, but how is the reliability?

its been 3 years since you left the comment... Do you still love it? Are there any issues that you have had to deal with?

Exhaust System Premature Rusting on the Infiniti Q50 sedan.

+G. Jones checked mine. No issues. 25,000 miles. Live in the midwest and drive daily.
I have the Q50 2014. 46000 miles no issues still extremely happy with it
do you have one? what other issues do you know of? I hear the tech portion of the car is a big pain.
Thats why you get a full catback aftermarket exhaust
Still loving mine!
A great step forward for Infiniti. Can't wait to pick up my Q50 Hybrid on Monday!
I drive a 2010 G37S. I took mine in for some work and I got a q50 as a loaner car. The way the q50 drives. In my opinion blows the g37 out of the water, it's way more responsive and feels much lighter to me. Plus the technology and the touch screen is freaking awesome.

I still don't understand why they would change the nomenclature of their vehicles again maybe its just a personal preference issue on my part but I feel like a name means something for example mercedes keeping the e and s classes distinctively as such for over 50 years or so in my opinion it gives a brand a feeling of stability besides them posting good sales quarterly
I don't think they need more power as much as marketing. I don't know where you live but here in Canada, Q50 is an absolute bargain compared to BMWs, about 10k cheaper for an equivalent. And I am seeing more and more Q50s everyday, also I'm waiting for mine to arrive next month. They are definitely selling lol.
The only problem with Infinity is that they're just like Acura, they might have all the trimmings of luxury but no one will ever perceive them as "high-end" This car is probably around 50-60 brand new. A 2007 3 series for 15grand looks better and more expensive.
Infiniti is on top of its Game and im sure this Q50 will sell way more units then G37 with no problem Good Job Infiniti Now just Need to Invest in a Adaptive Suspension System and have sebastian vettel tune it and after that this will be the best Sport sedan in the Segment
Anyone notice the gap on both C pillars inside? I've been checking out the Infiniti Q50 forums and threads with owners facing navi problems among other bugs. Its to be expected but the amount of negative responses and ownership doesn't help Infiniti.
How? Personally, I think the MDX is one of the best suv's in the class. I don't like the new styling though. The TL is weird looking, but its a good reliable car with good handling. Hopefully the new one will be better looking. I'm not a huge fan of Acura, but mechanically, they build very good cars. Styling seems to be their main issue.
i have a q50 sport but mines dont have the front or backup sensors and its 2014 like yours... i did take off my bumper and noticed a wire hanging, maybe thats for my sensors idk... i do know my current bumper doesnt have it at all....
Thinking about getting this as a first car. Is it a wise idea?
Kevin Hendricks yes
Which is unlikely since there are three back up systems before the mechanical link would even be activated.
Technically, yes they did. BMW also changed their 3 series coupe name designation to the 4 series coupe. All manufacturers are trying to revive their brands by offering what people may think is a new product when in fact it is the redesign of a new car with a different name. This a marketing strategy, it allows manufacturers to open a market for new customers with a lower or higher price tag then the previous 3 series coupe which btw is now discontinued due to the new 4 series aka (3 series).
Would like to opt out of the steer by wire system and run flat tires other than that I'm interested
Then you would need to get the base model by my understanding for 2014. What a bummer I really like the sport model but has steer by wire
That sucks I like the looks but decided overall it's not worth it to many things I just can't deal with
Why change the names exactly?
In my opinion, the only mistake Infiniti made with this car is changing its name. Should just called it the new G37, avoid confusing current customers. BMW and Merc did not rename their 3 series or c-classes.
I'm stuck between this and a Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit. 😩
Jovan Monroe SAME!!! Exactly the same !!! Either this or a grand Cherokee, wow
Same here! How odd! I really like the capability of the 4 wheel drive since I’m going to school in Colorado possibly. But I’ll rarely take it off road so I think I’ve decided to go for the Infiniti.
The jgc is always in the shop
The new styling looks great on this car.
May be the wheel base is the same and the dimensions similar to the G37 but because the partnership between Renault/Nissan and Mercedes Benz the new Q50 is based on Mercedes platform
that question isnt even up for discusision. the q50 costs about the same, has 90 more hp, is much, much more reliable. (japanese naturally aspirated engine vs german turbo 4) it will costs a huge amount of money less yearly to mantain as well. in terms of resale its hard to say, probably about the same based on looking at 2009 328i and 2009 g37s.
It's still too Nissan it has to distinguish itself more in a way, I don't know how but they can start with rear lights like Beemers
wow great review, very informative and clearly spoken...
that mpg is impressive and if you have imagination, almost every car from front and back looks like a face of a cartoon or something like that haha
a Sphinx
As a kid, I always saw the back of a car as a face.
I wonder how much it will cost to fix the electronics once the warranty is up................
alpha7ization they don't fail only the mechanical stuff does stop hating on technology.
$100 bucks says this dude's computer broke since 2 years ago. lol
A lot!
A 53,000+ vehicle such as this Infiniti Q50 should include cup holder covers, heated/cooled front seats, rear heated seats, power folding outside mirrors, and rear power shade. For 10-13k less also have an interest in a Chrysler 300/Dodge charger and a Hyundai Genesis they all have climate controlled front seats and Rear HEATED seats. The Chrysler 300 and Hyundai Genesis have a POWER rear shade. Also the new 2014 Lexus IS and Acura TL advance have available cooled/heated front seats...
Should of put a turbo engine with a little more power standard in the Q50. Mistake my opinion of keeping the same power.
A Mazda 6 in the front and Hyundai Sonata tailights in the back. Infiniti went the Volkswagen Jetta route and stopped being creative towards the back of the car. Other than that, this car is going to be great!
So...when will the Q50 coupé be released? :)
the Q45 was the best car infiniti ever made before the G series was introduced, to bring it back is nostalgic but dont kill the G kill the M series at least. the Q50 is and should be a replacement for the M45.
That Q50 hybrid is awesome, and fast.
The TL is over 300HP, which may come in awd with torque vectoring.
Niice and this engine sounds sooo good
I'm here bc I am looking at a used '14 Q50 in 2021.
me too
Hey guys, this new sport sedan with optional sport pck. Sprints from 0 to 60 in just 4.9 sec. Now the z370 with identical engine but much lighter can only achieve around 5.1. I don't get it.
i cant wait to check out this car in person but i gotta say, after test driving the new Lexus IS, that thing is an absolute stunner in person. the lines flow alot better in person and interior is way too gorgeous. the new Q50 has a striking front end but honestly thats just about it. the rest of the car is bland and the interior just as boring as a brand new Hyundia
About how many miles can this car last up to?
First good looking Infinit I think
