In its standard model form, the INFINITI Q50 is a sporty sedan that leaves little to be desired. When you throw a hybrid powertrain into the mix, there’s even more to love — not the least of which is its enhanced fuel economy.
Equipped with an advanced Direct Response system featuring Intelligent Dual Shift Control, the transmission combines a 3.5-liter 24-valve DOHC aluminum-alloy V6 with a laminated lithium-ion 50 KW battery design. The result is improved efficiency, thanks to the electric motor’s instant energy which provides smooth acceleration. Without any compromise of performance, this environmentally-friendly ride produces 302 HP with 214 lb-ft of torque while earning 34 MPG on the highway and 28 MPG in the city.
Utilizing an innovative one-motor/two-clutch setup, the vehicle can intuitively separate the engine from the drivetrain to create unique power-sources depending on the circumstances. For example, when speeding up, the smart CPU will call upon both energy supplies to achieve maximum efficacy. During periods of regeneration, the 2014 Q50 Hybrid is able to operate in full eco-mode.
