Infiniti Q50: History & Fun Facts

The Q50 sits lower and closer to the ground than a family sedan built purely for comfort, with a roofline that slopes down toward the trunk instead of staying level over the rear seats. That silhouette signals a sport-luxury sedan built to compete on handling as much as on badge prestige. Every panel, from the curved grille opening to the flared rear fenders, points toward performance driving rather than a soft, cushioned ride.

A 2013 Launch Under a New Naming System

Infiniti introduced the Q50 for the 2014 model year as the replacement for the long-running G Sedan, and it arrived alongside a brand-wide switch to alphanumeric names starting with Q for cars and QX for SUVs.

One Generation, Refreshed in 2018

The Q50 has run on a single generation, internally coded V37, since its 2013 debut, with Infiniti giving it a mid-cycle refresh in 2018 that updated the front grille, headlights, and interior technology without changing the underlying platform.

A World-First Steer-by-Wire System

Infiniti equipped early Q50 models with Direct Adaptive Steering, a system that replaced the traditional mechanical link between the steering wheel and front wheels with electronic signals, a first for any production car sold anywhere in the world.

A Twin-Turbo V6 Under the Hood

Higher-output Q50 models use a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 borrowed from the same engine family as the Nissan Z and GT-R, with the top Red Sport 400 trim pushing that engine to 400 horsepower.

Rear-Wheel Drive With an AWD Option

The Q50 sends power to the rear wheels by default, the traditional layout for a sport sedan, while offering all-wheel drive as an option for buyers who want extra grip in rain or snow.

A Sloped Roofline Borrowed From Coupe Design

The fastback-style roofline drawn in this outline, where the roof curves down toward the trunk lid instead of staying flat, borrows a proportion more common on two-door coupes, giving the four-door Q50 a sportier silhouette than a typical sedan.

A Curved Grille That Replaced a Chrome Bar Design

Earlier Infiniti sedans used a flatter chrome bar grille, but the Q50 introduced the curved, wide grille opening traced in this outline, a shape Infiniti has kept across newer models like the Q60 coupe.

Muscular Rear Fenders for Wider Rear Wheels

The flared rear fenders drawn behind the doors make room for a slightly wider rear track than the front, a setup that improves cornering grip and gives the Q50 its planted, athletic rear stance compared to a standard family sedan.

A Sport-Tuned Suspension Option

Higher trims of the Q50 add a sport-tuned suspension with stiffer springs and dampers, a setup aimed at drivers who want the sedan to feel closer to a coupe through corners than a typical family car built mainly for a soft ride.

Multi-Spoke Wheels Sized for Grip, Not Just Looks

The multi-spoke wheels traced in this outline aren't just decorative. Larger diameter wheels on performance trims wrap around bigger brake rotors, part of what lets the Q50 shed speed quickly before a tight corner.

A Narrow Headlight Shape Shared Across the Lineup

The narrow, sweeping headlight shape drawn into the front fenders became a signature look Infiniti carried across other models, giving the Q50 a family resemblance to larger Infiniti sedans and SUVs built after it.

A Short Front Overhang for Better Weight Balance

The short gap between the front wheels and the nose in this outline keeps engine weight closer to the front axle centerline, a proportion engineers favor for sharper turn-in response on a rear-wheel-drive sport sedan.
