We tested an all-wheel-drive Red Sport 400 on our 75-mph highway route, which is part of our extensive testing regimen, and it bested its EPA rating by 1 with a 27-mpg result.
The thriftiest version is estimated to earn 20 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway.
Regardless of drivetrain configuration or engine output, the 2023 Q50 isn’t exactly sipping fuel. Infiniti's optional drive-by-wire steering setup, called Direct Adaptive Steering, is a much-touted feature, but none of its many available modes offers the feedback or the progressive effort during cornering that the best helms provide. Steering is light but not quick and lacks feedback. The Q50s we've driven with 19-inch wheels had a jittery, sometimes harsh ride, but the base model's standard 18-inch wheels might improve matters.
INFINITY Q50 DRIVER
Regardless of engine output, shifts are barely detectable, even when the driver triggers a gear change with the steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters. The standard mill makes 300 horsepower, and the performance-oriented Red Sport 400 is tuned to make 400 horses. However, the Q50’s engine comes in two potencies. Engine, Transmission, and PerformanceĪll Q50s feature a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V-6, a seven-speed automatic transmission, and either rear- or all-wheel drive.
Those who want the added security of all-wheel drive can add it for $2000, but we'd stick with the standard rear-wheel drive and invest in a set of winter tires for the colder months. It has a heated steering wheel and front seats, remote start, and myriad driver assists. WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm - being the entry point to the Q50 hierarchy, the Luxe has the same powertrain as the pricier Sensory trim and still boasts a solid roster of popular features and luxury appointments.
