This 2015 INFINITI Q50 is a showstopper. Combining distinctive design, engaging performance, and advanced connectivity into a single sporty little package proves to be a winning mix. No pun intended, this sedan actually holds an Edmunds.com “Top Rated Vehicle†award for its well-rounded appeal.
For starters, while it may be a four-door, it has the dramatically styled feel of a coupe. Blending low and wide proportions (5.1 inches of ground clearance, and 71.8 inches broad) with the brand’s fierce signature double-arch, diamond-meshed grille and human-eye-like headlamps result in a strong, athletic appearance.
Fitted with a refined 3.7-liter aluminum-alloy DOHC 24-valve V6, this advanced powertrain also features CVTCS and Variable Valve Event & Lift. Thanks to the efficiency and precision of these proprietary engine technologies, the Q50 can deliver up to 328 HP and 269 lb-ft of torque.
Meanwhile, inside this cruiser, occupants are embraced in a driver-centric cockpit (meaning, all necessary functions are ergonomically available to the motorist) that provides an array of premium convenience features to suit not only the needs of the operator but the passengers as well. The standard InTouch communications system includes a pair of large (8-inch upper, 7-inch lower) touchscreen displays for accessing moving-map navigation, the entertainment system, and even cabin environment controls.
