I was randomly searching for some aftermarket car parts websites and it led me to discover a wondrous car. I was wowed by the exterior and color at first glance. The chiseled, athletic design teamed up with shades that compliments this luxe car is itself a treat for the eyes!
But should you let the look get the better of you? No, that wouldn’t be a smart decision, hence you need to keep tabs on the specifications and performance. Keeping those in mind here is the 2020 Infiniti Q50 review.
The stylish Q50 was replaced with the Infiniti G sedan and released in 2013 at North American International Auto Show. After the inception, the sale started from the third and fourth quarters of 2013. The starting price of Q50 is $36,400 (price may vary according to the dealerships). Speaking of the price, do you know you can do car and car parts price comparison online?
A QUICK GLANCE AT THE KEY FEATURES
- Apple Carplay
- 3.0 Ltr Twin Turbo V6 Engine
- 10 Available Models
- Renovation of Wheels
Now that we know the key features, let’s immerse into an elaborate discussion.
2020 INFINITI Q50 EXTERIOR & INTERIOR
When we think of the exterior of this car, it offers multi-mode jeweled headlamps and LED lights for daytime running. Q50’s windows are styled with a crescent-shaped design that fits well with the sculpted and muscular body. The designers who fashioned the model surely aced this time.
Introducing semi-aniline leather seats to provide a comfortable ride during a long journey. Now, those of you who are scratching your heads, aniline leather is the most luxurious leather. And semi-aniline leather is a type of leather that is manufactured from better-quality hides with fewer natural markings such as skin pores. Semi-aniline leather has a waxy yet soft texture. The interior trim is made of Japanese inspired Kacchu Aluminum.
PERFORMANCE
Horsepower: The 2020 Q50 Infiniti delivers 300-400 horsepower
Mileage (per gal): The 400 hp offers 26 mpg while the 300 one gets up to 29 mpg on the highway.
Turbocharger: 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged engine with 6 cylinders
Torque: 350 lb-ft
When 400 horsepower and the standard T 3.0-liter V6 work hand in hand, they make the Q50 dominate the road. The smart All-Wheel Drive adapts to the conditions that are being thrown upon the Q50. It also features Dynamic Digital Suspension and Drive Mode Selector which work to boost a safe yet comfortable ride every time.
TECHNOLOGY & ROAD SAFETY
Infiniti’s technology can foresee any road threats and can instantly warn you of potential risks. A front-mounted radar scans the road ahead and monitors the distance and the speed of the vehicles before you. It also boasts the Standard Forward Emergency Braking ensuring better security. What the Forward Emergency Braking can do? It can detect any vehicles and according to that can alert you to apply the brakes while minimizing damages that can cause by frontal collision.
The Direct Adaptive Steering transmits steering inputs directly to the wheels for smooth and adaptive steering. Using four cameras and advanced software, the available Around View generates a 360° view of Q50 from above when parking. This helps it to identify objects around you and your car.
CONNECTIVITY OF Q50
Apple CarPlay
This one is for the Apple lover, not talking about the fruit though. Indeed, it has become a pretty basic feature in car models but it’s also now a necessity. Apple CarPlay is the safest and smartest way to enjoy iPhone while driving, just plug in and go hands-free.
INFINITI InTouch with Wi-Fi Hotspot
Use Wi-Fi to stay in touch with your loved ones, search for a direction using the map or even better- stream and watch Netflix. The best part? You can connect 7 devices with the hotspot at a time.
SiriusXM
Sirius XM is an American broadcasting company that brings you ad-free music, sports, news and many more. With available SiriusXM Traffic and 3-month complimentary access to Travel Link, you can get access to information on parking, know about the weather and fuel prices, enjoy sports, etc.; all these while you’re driving toward your destination.
Driver’s Seat Dual Occupant Memory System
INFINITI’s dual occupant memory system works wonders by automatically adjusting to your sitting arrangements, steering wheel, and mirror positions when you push the button ignition for the startup. You are also privileged to toggle the extra Intelligent Key for more presets.
Q50 MODELS & COLORS
As I have stated above that Q50 consists of 5 editions with 2 models included in each of them, calculating 10 models altogether. The Infiniti contains a whopping 10 shades for you to choose from:
- Graphite Shadow
- Liquid Platinum
- Iridium Blue
- Hagane Blue
- Black Obsidian
- Pure White
- Mocha Almond (requires extra cost)
- Dynamic Sandstone Red (requires extra cost & exclusive to Red Sport 400)
- Midnight Black (requires extra cost)
- Majestic White (requires extra cost)
SOMETHING SPECIAL (Edition 30)
Infiniti has been ruling the past three decades and to celebrate that, the brand has introduced the 2020 Infiniti Q50 Edition 30. The edition contains models equipped with innovative and the world’s first technologies to the market that others only imagined.
Some of the features of Edition 30 are Apple CarPlay, Backup Collision Intervention, Around View, Remote System, Automatic Collision Notification and Calls, Android Auto, InTouch Navigation, Intelligent Cruise Control and so much more.
MY VERDICT
With all the features explained you can trace the efficiency of the sedan. If style, performance, and safety are your main concerns then you can choose Q50 with your eyes closed. However, the two cons that I’ve discovered are the price range and a below-average fuel economy. Judging by everything I give Infiniti Q50 a rating of 7.5 out of 10.
FINAL NOTE
I hope you found the review thorough and informative. Wrapping up today’s discussion with the news that all 2020 Infiniti Q50 parts are available on any auto body parts wholesale distributors. I bid adieu to all of the dear readers. Take care!
