The sensory package includes a 6-speaker Bose audio system, auto-dimming outside mirrors, and memory function for the driver's seat, steering wheel, and mirrors, for the ultimate in comfort. Leather upholstery, a tilt-telescopic wheel, and an Advanced Climate Control System round out the many amenities that come with this add-on.

Do you ever stop to think about some of the more basic features of your vehicle? Take, for instance, the window defroster. It does an excellent job of increasing your visibility during foggy, humid, rainy, or snowy conditions. How exactly does it work, though?
Did you know that the rear defroster works differently than the one in front? The technology used in the back of the vehicle is actually just electricity. However, an air current is utilized near the dashboard.
The front windshield defroster is designed to blow large volumes of air to dissipate condensation. When the weather is cool, droplets of water can form on a car’s windows. Vents on the dashboard move heat upward in an effort to reduce this steam and improve visibility.
On the other hand, the rear defroster uses thin lines of electrical fibers that run across the back windshield. They heat up once you turn on the device and then the window’s condensation is reduced.
The 2018 INFINITI Q50 features both of these technologies, along with variably intermittent wipers to increase visibility in bad weather. ABS brakes also keep you safe when the roads are slick.

When you’re looking for a luxury vehicle, you need it to have only the best in safety features. There’s never been a better time to check out INFINITI, which offers the highest-quality autos and all of the protection you could want.
Take, for instance, the 2018 Q50. This amazing vehicle offers a number of active safety features, including electronic stability control. You might have heard the term before, but you may not know quite what it means.
This safety feature is actually quite simple, though essential. It is a computerized technology that improves a vehicle's stability by detecting and reducing the loss of traction. This means you will be less likely to skid or slide if you drive over ice, rocks, or debris on the road.
Â
This is different from ABS technology, likely familiar to drivers of older vehicles. Instead, electronic stability adds to its predecessor, using more sensors and enhanced algorithms to provide a smoother, safer experience. Traction control only limits wheel spin, whereas this program can actually maneuver your car.
If you’re intrigued by the INFINITI Q50, stop by our Tacoma dealership today to take a test drive. You’ll fall in love with the vehicle, thanks to its luxurious feel and many safety features.Â

When you’re on the road, the safety of your passengers is paramount. Fortunately, INFINITI features a vast array of precautions to keep everyone in the vehicle well. Some of these specifications may be difficult to understand by name alone, since automakers often classify things in slightly confusing ways. However, we are here today to discuss and demystify one such addition to the 2018 Q50, the occupant sensing airbag.
Believe it or not, airbags are not inflated from compressed gas, but rather the products of a chemical reaction of sodium azide, or NaN3. Typically, this molecule is very stable. However, when it is heated, it will disintegrate and produce nitrogen.
Nitrogen as a gas is what causes your airbags to inflate. Sensors in the front of an automobile know if there has been a collision and trigger these safety mechanisms to deploy. This is all well and good for full-sized adults. How about for smaller folks or children, however?
This is where occupant sensing airbags come in. They are able to tell the size and weight of passenger and adjust direction or strength accordingly to safeguard against injuries. This is very important, because serious damage to smaller riders can occur if safety equipment deploys at full force.
The 2018 Q50 features occupant sensing airbags in addition to a number of other amazing amenities, so you can always travel with peace of mind. Stop by INFINITI of Tacoma today and take a test drive!Â

For those of you unfamiliar with the many processes that go on under the hood of your 2018 INFINITI Q50 while you’re driving it — well, you're not alone. Allow me to enlighten you on one of them, today. Featuring an advanced direct-injection gasoline system, this luxury sports sedan benefits from a cleaner and more efficient engine.
DIG is an innovative fuel-delivery technology that utilizes high pressures to remit a more exact amount of juice into the combustion cell — dependant on the throttle position and engine speed. In these DIG setups, the air and gasoline are not pre-mixed before entering the chamber. Rather, they are delivered separately — the air through the intake manifold and the gas directly into the cylinder.
Thanks to ultra-precise internal computer management, there is more accurate control of the metering. This accuracy equates to complete combustion and more bang for your buck out of every precious drop of gasoline. In fact, with this ingenuitive powertrain, the Q50 sees a 6.7% improvement in fuel economy over previous models. Rated to earn up to 23 MPG in the city and 30 MPG on the highway, those are numbers you could write home about.
