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.

The Infiniti Q50 Red Sport 400 starts at $36,545. The base Q50 comes with a 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder producing 208 horsepower. Despite being an older design, the interior has held up throughout the years. The interior still looks great after five years on the market.

Reviewers from cnet have found the following***:
The 2021 Infiniti Q50 starts at about $38,000 including $1,025 in destination fees. Hauling this car around is a 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V6. The car's ride is definitely on the firm side, but these stiff suspenders keep the body well controlled.
