Exterior Styling
The fluid, tapering lines area a direct influence of the Essence prototype. The elegant hood panel mimics an ocean wave. The front grille design is extremely dynamic and sporty. It's equipped with 19-inch alloy wheels and has crescent-shaped rear side windows that boast the impression of motion. The intuitive, adaptive headlights adjust to ambient lighting conditions.
Interior
The interior oozes luxury with its ergonomic leather seats, hand-polished wood trim panels and driver-passenger oriented instrument cluster. The Q50 accommodates five passengers in luxury and comfort.
Technology is everywhere in the Q50, in an entirely intuitive and customizable digital environment. The steering, suspension, driving position and pre-set engine modes are just some of the systems that can be set to your personal desires.
A BOSE 14-speaker audio system with three 10-inch sub-woofers is standard in the Q50.
The Infiniti InTouch voice command system offers features such as Facebook compatibility, e-mail, and a touch-screen navigation system that can be enlarged as needed.
Cargo Capacity
The Q50 has 510 litres of available cargo room, which is comparable to the BMW 3 Series (480 litres) and far superior to the Audi A4 and Cadillac CTS with their respective 352 and 385 litres.
Drivetrain
The Q50 is powered by a 3.5 litre V6 that works in tandem with a lithium-ion battery that adds extra boost during hard acceleration such as overtaking traffic. The brake system provides a partial battery recharge. A total of 354 hp is available from this hybrid system.
Safety
Infiniti does not take safety lightly; the Q50 is equipped with four cameras for a 360 degree view, a perimeter-view screen and moving object detection. In addition, a safety shield with visual and audible warning features can apply the brakes if necessary.
Comparable Models
Competition for the Q50 will come from the BMW 3 Series, Cadillac CTS, Audi A4 and Mercedes-Benz C Class.
