Product Overview

Infiniti Q50 facelift is a compact executive sedan in production from 2017. It is available with a range of inline-4 and V6 engines that displaced 2.0 to 3.5 liters.

Compared to the pre-facelift Q50, the new downsized turbo V6 replaced the NA 3.7L V6, and a smaller 2.0t engine was added to the lineup. The car's design hardly changed, retaining a rather smart look.

Compared to European models, the Q50 remains one of the last RWD-based sedans in this class with fully independent suspensions.
