Powerful looks and potent engines
Do you want a luxury sedan that doesn’t just blend into the background but also isn’t overstyled? The 2015 Infiniti Q50 strikes this balance nicely with its sharp exterior design that boasts the right curves, creases, and angles. On top of this, the Q50 has the power to back up its stunning appearance. The Q50’s standard 3.7L V6 engine delivers 328 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque and a 5.5-second zero-to-60 time. The hybrid model is no slouch either with its 3.5L V6 and an electric motor that combine for a surprising 360 hp and 5.3-second zero-to-60 time.

5 reasons to buy the 2015 Infiniti Q50
1. Two powerful engines
The 2015 Infiniti Q50 gives you the option of two surprisingly powerful engine options, and each is eager to please. The base Infiniti Q50 rolls with a 3.7L V6 that ships 328 hp through a seven-speed automatic transmission and out to the front wheels. Opt for the hybrid model, and you’ll get a 3.5L V6 and electric motor that combine for 360 hp. The hybrid also includes a seven-speed automatic transmission. You can also equip either model with all-wheel drive for added grip in slippery conditions.
2. Balanced performance
The 2015 Infiniti Q50 is a strong performer despite not being a legitimate performance sedan. On top of that, its EPA-estimated fuel economy numbers will definitely please. The base Q50 with the 3.7L V6 and front-wheel drive delivers 20 mpg city, 29 mpg highway, and 23 mpg combined.
3. Eye-pleasing inside and out
You want to enjoy looking at the vehicle you drive, and the 2015 Infiniti Q50 will surely please you with its looks. On the outside, the Q50 boasts sharp body lines, clean angles, and a swooping silhouette that give it a standout look without being too over the top. Inside, Infiniti continues to impress with the Q50’s clean design, which has minimal visual distractions and plenty of premium materials, such as real wood and aluminum accents.
4. Easy-to-use infotainment system
You want the latest technology but you don’t want a finicky, hard-to-use infotainment system. Infiniti’s InTouch infotainment system will please you with its simplicity. Yes, it features a dual-screen setup with an eight-inch upper screen and a seven-inch lower screen setup, which may initially seem overwhelming. Fortunately, the looks are deceiving, as the InTouch interface is logical and easy to use. You also have the option to use the redundant hard buttons if you’re not up for a touchscreen.
5. Upscale features and options
You expect certain amenities inside a true luxury sedan, and the 2015 Q50 will deliver what you expect. This sedan comes equipped with loads of upscale features, including the InTouch infotainment system, power front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, synthetic leather upholstery, a six-speaker audio system SiriusXM®, HD radio, and more. You can also choose from a long list of packages and options to dress the luxury sedan up further.
