2020 Infiniti Q50

For 2020, the popular INFINITI Q50 sports sedan features the addition of a new Q50 3.0t PURE model, offering 300 horsepower for an entry luxury sport sedan, among the best in its segment. All 2020 Q50 models also receive a new-generation INFINITI InTouch™ System with HD dual-display LCD/VGA 8-inch upper and 7-inch lower touchscreens. Also standard are Apple CarPlay^® and Android Auto™, including Siri^® and Google Voice^®. Two illuminated USB connection ports (one Type-A and one Type-C) are also added to all grade levels.

The 2020 INFINITI Q50 3.0t is available in a choice of 300-horsepower or 400-horsepower rated 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engines. In addition to the new PURE, it is offered in LUXE, SPORT and RED SPORT 400 grade levels in both rear-wheel and all-wheel drive.

The Q50 exterior design features sleek proportions and an athletic stance. The Q50 3.0t SPORT and Q50 RED SPORT 400 grades include a more angular front bumper and wider, lower air intakes, adding greater visual potency over the Q50 3.0t PURE and LUXE designs.

Inside, the Q50 features a high level of artistry throughout the high-tech cabin, providing a comfortable and connected space. Each grade level comes with its own unique interior character. Interior features include the brand’s zero-gravity spinal support seats that ensure a comfortable space and a steering wheel with molded positions for the driver’s thumbs.

Innovative driver assistance technologies that empower and support the driver are abundant on the Q50. They include available Direct Adaptive Steering^®, Active Lane Control, Intelligent Cruise Control, Distance Control Assist, Backup Collision Intervention, Blind Spot Warning, Blind Spot Intervention^®, and Lane Departure Warning and Prevention.

The 2020 Q50 delivers a rewarding driving experience with a variety innovative powertrain options. The exclusive VR-series 3.0-liter V6 twin-turbo engine with 300 standard horsepower is offered on PURE, LUXE and SPORT grades. A high-output 400 horsepower version is standard on RED SPORT 400.

All Q50 models come equipped with a refined 7-speed automatic transmission with available paddle shifters. The INFINITI Drive Mode Selector with Snow, Eco, Standard, Sport and Personal settings is standard on all models. It is part of the INFINITI InTuition™ System, an advanced customizable digital environment system that allows drivers to create unique settings for engine, suspension and steering (when equipped with INFINITI Direct Adaptive Steering^®) settings.

Among Q50’s available advanced drivetrain technologies is the advanced Direct Adaptive Steering system, which gives the driver flexibility to choose the level of steering assistance and feedback according to personal preferences. Direct Adaptive Steering also adds Sport+ mode, which enhances steering and handling response and provides an even quicker gear ratio for greater performance..

The Q50 also features standard Dynamic Digital Suspension on SPORT and RED SPORT 400 models, which provides an optimal blend of ride comfort, response and agility. The shift from a comfort-biased ride to enhanced dynamic response can be made when the driver selects either Sport or Sport+ mode (adjusted via the INFINITI Drive Mode Selector) which changes the electronically adjustable shock absorbers to provide firmer damping control for more agile handling. While in these modes, the suspension is constantly adjusting to provide ideal performance and a flat ride.
