2014 Model Redesign Year
The redesign year indicates that the car is either introduced for the first time or an existing model has been
significantly re-engineered. The more extensive or complicated the redesign, the higher the risk of reliability problems.
The Infiniti Q50 was intended to replace the G37 in the brand's lineup.
But, unfortunately, it has taken a step back from its excellent predecessor.
While the Q50 is quick, an underwhelming driving experience limits its sporty credentials.
On the luxury front, fit and finish, ride comfort, and noise isolation aren't impressive.
Handling is lackluster, mostly due to the dull steering.
Ride comfort is unsettled and suffers from the run-flat tires.
The punchy V6 powertrain isn't a model of refinement and fuel economy is not impressive.
For the class, the cabin is quite roomy and the rear seat is hospitable, but the front seat has a short cushion.
Even more frustrating is the agonizingly slow-responding touchscreen interface. Changes for 2019 included standard forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking. For the 2020 model year the base 2.0-liter turbo engine has been discontinued.
Also, all 2020 models get standard Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility. Updates for 2022 include a standard Bose sound system, and wireless Apple CarPlay compatibility.
Other updates for 2022 include standard lane departure warning, blind spot warning, and rear cross traffic warning.
2024 was the final year for the Q50.
