The 2015 INFINITI Q40 is one of those sporty sedans that makes you look twice — that is, if you can manage a doubletake before it whizzes out of sight (it’s equipped with a 3.7-liter V6 that makes 328 HP, after all).
Defined by an ultra sleek silhouette that starts with a wave-like aluminum hood and leads back towards raked A-pillars which, with their push-backed appearance, further inform the car's aggressive stance. Sweeping body character lines project a balance of both power and grace by adding emphasis to the vehicle's broad, athletic shoulders (the Q40 is 69.8 inches wide).
The dramatic front fascia is characterized by the brand’s iconic double-arch grille with sculpted blades. Flanking either side of it are angled High-Intensity Discharge bi-functional xenon headlights with automatic on/off functionality. Thanks to the innovative design, the units require only a single bulb to produce both low and high beam illumination.
Meanwhile, the backside of this four-door showcases classy refinement with evolutional L-shaped taillamps and a subtly integrated chrome spoiler. Bold dual exhaust outlets tie together the robust appearance.

Previously known — and well-loved — as the G37 Sedan, the 2015 INFINITI Q40 is lauded for its sporty styling and refined interior. Evoking a sense of modern warmth through fine craftsmanship and premium materials, the cabin of this four-door is abundantly accommodating.
For starters, “Shodo†finish aluminum-alloy trim (inspired by a form of Japanese calligraphy — a nod to the automaker's heritage) splashes across the center console, main panel, and doors. Meanwhile, the hand-stitched wrapping of the steering wheel truly implies a bespoke feel.Â

While the contemporary instrumentation display features white-themed electroluminescent illumination, the signature analog clock on the infotainment dash elevates the space with classic appeal.
With a driver-oriented layout — meaning all of the necessary functions, buttons, and switches are ergonomically available to the one behind the wheel — the cockpit features a pair of stone-colored, leather-appointed, eight-way power adjustable front seats.Â
