When driving a sedan as sporty as the 2018 INFINITI Q50 it’s nice to know you can always stop on a dime — should you ever need to. Equipped with an advanced braking package, this high-performance car is safer than your average ride.
Fitted with four-wheel power-run vented disc units with the latest in ABS, this platform handles well under pressure. Regardless of the road surface or driving conditions, the system intuitively monitors operator inputs when damping pressure is applied. By autonomously adjusting the hydraulic valves, it ensures that all tires maintain consistent tractive contact with the pavement in order to prevent uncontrolled skidding.
To further impress, an innovative Stop Assist feature utilizes a sensor unit to analyze the velocity of other vehicles traveling ahead of you in your lane. If the intelligent CPU detects that you are getting too close, it will warn you with an audible chime. In more severe situations, the Q50 will automatically engage halting to either avoid a collision or, at the very least, reduce the speed of impact.

Now in its second generation, Direct Adaptive Steering is a luxury feature in the 2018 INFINITI Q50. A building block to fully autonomous driving, this advanced system offers motorists more customization options in order to deliver a safe and secure ride tailored to their preferences.
With six unique settings — Snow, Eco, Standard, Sport, Sport+, and Personal — accessed through the Mode Selector, operators are free to choose the level of assistance and feedback they desire based on personal tastes and road conditions.
With the ability to transmit consumer inputs to the wheels faster than ever before, the Q50 can make up to 1,000 adjustments per second to reduce vibrations and unnecessary lurching. Specially tuned for ease of maneuverability, the ratio actively transforms based on variables such as speed, road surface quality, and chassis behavior.
Not only does the advanced DAS method improve performance on the pavement, providing a confident feeling to occupants behind the wheel, but the elimination of unwanted feedback also helps to ensure confidence by lessening driver fatigue.

The 2018 INFINITI Q50 is a stunning sports sedan that not only delivers a thrilling ride in a sleek package but also offers incredible cabin connectivity for a more seamless driving experience.
Equipped with the brand’s proprietary InTouch Services, the center console goes above and beyond conventional interfaces. Utilizing two touch-capacitive color screens (8-inch upper and 7-inch lower), the system effortlessly synchronizes car and occupants. While the motorist benefits from having a clear visual on their most frequently used applications (such as navigation) on the top monitor, the passenger can simultaneously access content on the bottom display.
Beyond directional cues alone, the intuitive CPU allows travelers to personalize their own cabin space environment to their unique preferences  - from dual-zone climate control to heated seats, lumbar support to cushion position. To further impress, the owner’s custom settings can be stored as a unique profile and identified by their Intelligent Key.
Meanwhile, the innovative control panel also makes it possible to enjoy various mediums of entertainment by way of voice recognition and audio commands. Want to live stream music direct from a smartphone within the vehicle? Simply hit the wheel-mounted VR button and then name your song. With a car this integrated into the modern world, there is truly no limit to the possibilities.

Loaded with high-quality luxury appointments, it’s no wonder that the INFINITI Q50 is such a class-leading sports sedan. Each and every one of the 2018 models (there are six, to be exact) come stacked with plenty of special features to ensure a comfortable ride for passengers and drivers alike.
For starters, Dual-Zone Automatic Temperature Control is available to front seat occupants. With the push of the button, travelers can personalize their climate settings to their preferences. A proprietary Plasmacluster Purifier eliminates potentially harmful toxins, allergens, and the like by cleaning the air before it enters the cabin by way of the vents.
Equipped with a Bluetooth Hands-free Phone System, the motorist can easily make or answer calls without lifting more than a single finger. The technology allows for auto-connectivity between smartphone and the vehicle’s CPU. By using either voice or button commands, the operator can maintain focus on the road while still checking in with loved ones.
To further impress, an advanced RearView Monitor is enabled upon shifting into reverse to make parking both easier and safer. Not only will the screen show an accurate depiction of your surroundings, but color-coded lines help prevent bumps or collisions by warning you when you get too close to a stationary object.

The Q50 2.0t LUXE adds 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels for even better handling around tight curves. An inspiring moonroof opens with the touch of a button to instantly flood the cabin with natural light. Meanwhile, maple wood interior accents add a touch of elegance to the modern cockpit. This variant is also available with the 3.0-liter, 300 HP V6 engine for motorists who prefer a little extra vigor.

For those who fancy even more extravagance, the RED SPORT 400 is equipped with stunning quilted semi-aniline seats (which are more resistant to normal wear and tear) and sultry dark chrome details throughout. The mighty powertrain in this high-tech form can produce up to 400 HP with ease.
Last, but certainly not least, to complete the stacked Q50 lineup is the Hybrid LUXE, which offers all the standard appointments of the LUXE model but with greater fuel economy and efficiency.
