5 reasons to buy the 2023 Infiniti Q50

1. Twin-turbo V6

Are you looking for a small luxury sedan that packs a big punch? The 2023 Infiniti Q50 has the performance you crave. All models have a twin-turbocharged 3.0L V6 engine and a seven-speed automatic transmission that makes 300 hp (Luxe and Sensory trims) or 400 hp (Red Sport 400 trim). This power is matched with a standard Infiniti Drive Mode Selector that allows you to customize the vehicle's responses to your liking. For the most gas mileage, opt for the base 2023 Q50 with standard rear-wheel drive to achieve an EPA-estimated 23 mpg combined.

All-wheel drive is available for extra traction.

2. Suspension choices

The 2023 Infiniti Q50 provides further customization with two suspension options. The standard suspension features a double-wishbone front and independent multi-link rear suspension for a smooth and relaxing ride. However, the Dynamic Digital Suspension (standard in the Red Sport 400 trim) delivers tailored handling with electronically adjustable dampers and advanced processing. Regardless of your suspension, the Infiniti Q50 has a ride to fit your driving preferences.

3. Luxe interior

If you appreciate the finer things in life, you'll be impressed with the 2023 Infiniti Q50's premium interior. Quilted, semi-aniline leather-appointed sport seats with red contrast stitching (standard in the Red Sport 400 trim) provide a sporty aesthetic, while the standard D-shaped leather-wrapped heated steering wheel feels nice in your hands. In addition, the standard eight-way power-adjustable front seats offer lasting comfort and extra support as you hug twists and turns. All models also have a power sliding and tilting moonroof for a bright and airy atmosphere.

4. InTouch® infotainment

The 2023 Q50 features a standard Infiniti InTouch infotainment system, which pairs an eight-inch touchscreen on the dash with a seven-inch touchscreen below it. The top display includes standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ capabilities, while the lower screen controls the included Bose® Performance Series Audio 16-speaker stereo, climate controls, and vehicle settings. An in-car navigation system is optional in the 2023 Q50.

5. Standard driver aids

You don't have to climb the 2023 Infiniti Q50's three trim levels to gain the most-wanted driver aids. Instead, you'll find them standard at the base level. This includes front and rear parking sensors and a surround-view parking camera for confident maneuverability, and automatic high-beam headlights for maximum visibility. In addition, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert helps you stay aware of your surroundings, while lane-departure warning with lane-keep assist helps the sedan stay on track. Finally, adaptive cruise control provides a relaxing driving experience, and forward collision warning with forward automatic emergency braking can help you avoid potential collisions.

Cost

According to RepairPal, cost is the average total annual cost for unscheduled repairs and maintenance across all model years of a vehicle. Higher average cost alone does not necessarily mean a vehicle is less reliable.

The related cost of a specific vehicle may vary depending on its maintenance and driving history, model year, trim, and features. RepairPal ratings are provided by RepairPal and CarMax is not responsible for the accuracy. These ratings are based on RepairPal Reliability data for select 2006-2020 vehicles as of 09/21/2022. Learn more about RepairPal reliability ratings

RepairPal reports that the average total annual cost for repairs and maintenance on a Infiniti Q50 is $581, compared to an average of $642 for Luxury Midsize Cars and $619 for all the vehicles RepairPal considered in its dataset.

Frequency

According to RepairPal, frequency is the average number of times the vehicle is brought into the shop for unscheduled repairs and maintenance in a single year. RepairPal reports that it calculates this metric by tracking millions of unique vehicles over multiple years to determine an average number of visits per year for each make and model; and that controls are included to omit small routine visits to shops (such as for oil changes).

The frequency of such visits for a specific vehicle may vary depending on its maintenance and driving history, model year, trim, and features. RepairPal ratings are provided by RepairPal and CarMax is not responsible for the accuracy. These ratings are based on RepairPal Reliability data for select 2006-2020 vehicles as of 09/21/2022. Learn more about RepairPal reliability ratings

According to RepairPal, Infiniti Q50 owners bring their vehicles into a repair shop for unscheduled repairs an average of 0.7 times per year, compared to an average of 1.5 times for Luxury Midsize Cars and 1.4 times for all the vehicles RepairPal considered in its dataset.

Severity

According to RepairPal, severity measures the probability that a repair will be a major issue. RepairPal reports that an issue is considered severe if a repair costs three-times the average annual repair cost for all models. This threshold will be higher for vehicles that have higher labor rates and parts costs (such as a premium brand).

The severity of repairs for a specific vehicle may vary depending on its maintenance and driving history, model year, trim, and features.

RepairPal reported that the probability of a repair being a severe or major issue is 7% for the Infiniti Q50, compared to an average of 11% for Luxury Midsize Cars and 12% for all the vehicles RepairPal considered in its dataset.
