Power meets style
The 2019 Infiniti Q50 has three powertrain options, and its optional V6 powertrains deliver a wallop. The 3.0L turbocharged V6 in LUXE and SPORT trims delivers 300 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. However, the real star is the RedSport 400’s retuned 3.0L that pounds out 400 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque, offering plenty of fun on the road. On top of all this power, the 2019 Q50 has style for miles that’s sure to please. It features just the right amount of curves, creases, and angles. It also boasts a clean, clutter-free cabin to round out its great looks.

5 reasons to buy the 2019 Infiniti Q50
1. Powerful engine options
The 2019 Infiniti Q50’s base 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine is respectable at 208 hp, but it’s not the star of the show. This designation belongs to the Q50’s two V6 options. The midrange engine is a 3.0L turbocharged V6 nestled in the LUXE and SPORT trims. This engine pumps out 300 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. If you’re looking for awe-inspiring performance, opt for the RedSport 400 trim and soak in 410 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque from its turbocharged 3.0L V6 engine.
2. Balanced four-cylinder performance
There’s no doubt the 2019 Infiniti Q50 is a rock-solid performer, but you may also be concerned about the cost of operating it. The Q50 delivers respectable EPA-estimated fuel-economy numbers with the 2.0L engine. This powertrain will help you go further between fill-ups with an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 23 mpg city, 30 mpg highway, and 25 mpg combined with front-wheel drive.
3. Pleasing to the eye
The Infiniti Q50 is a true beauty from all angles. It boasts sharp body lines, clean angles, and a swooping silhouette that help it shine among other luxury sedans. You’ll also find that Infiniti pulled off this impeccable styling without taking it too far and crossing the overstyled line. This is the kind of vehicle you'll love to glance back at in the parking lot.
4. Composed interior
You demand a lot from your luxury car, and interior comfort is one of the most important parts. Though the 2019 Q50’s cabin is a little dated, it’s still very comfortable and spacious. The cabin’s insulation mutes road and engine noises, and its interior materials are top-notch. The Q50 doubles up on comfort with its standard “zero-gravity” seats. These thrones offer excellent support on long hauls. And with 13.5 cu-ft of trunk space, you can easily haul a few sets of golf clubs or a week’s worth of groceries.
5. Tons of high-end features
The 2019 Infiniti Q50 has all the standard features you want in a luxury sedan. This long list includes eight-way power front seats, synthetic leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats, dual touchscreens for infotainment, Bluetooth® connectivity, a pair of USB charge ports, and more. To ease your commute, it also comes standard with some driver-assist features, including automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning. Want even more features? The Q50 has plenty of options to dress it up to your liking.
