We Recommend

The Infiniti Q50 comes in three different trim levels, however, we will recommend the base Luxe trim. It offers the same engine as the more expensive Sensory trim and nevertheless offers a long list of desirable features and upscale furnishings. Additionally, it offers remote start, heated front seats and steering wheel, and other driver assistance features. 

Release Date

The release date information hasn't been updated by the officials yet. However, the latest 2023 Infiniti Q50 is available on its official website to place orders. We believe that the new Infiniti Q50 will be available in local showrooms and at the dealership around the end quarter of 2022.

The 2023 Infiniti Q50 isn't exactly a fuel-efficient vehicle. According to EPA, the base Luxe trim offers 20 MPG in the city, 29 MPG on the highway, and 23 MPG combined. However, the Red Sport 400 trim with a decrease of 3 mpg on the highway and a 1 mpg decrease in combined cycles. The all-new Q50 also offers a huge fuel tank capacity of 20 gallons capacity.

Audi A3 offers a better fuel efficiency than most of its rivals do with a 29 MPG gas mileage in the city, 38 MPG on the highway and 32 MPG combined. However, with such exceptional fuel economy, it lurks at the bottom of the table with a 13.2-gallon fuel tank capacity. On the other hand, the Infiniti Q50 provides the highest fuel tank capacity at 20 gallons. Infiniti Q50 also provides a terrific range with a maximum of 580 miles on the highway so that you don’t need to stop at gas stations frequently. On the other hand, the Lexus IS 350 is placed at the bottom of the table with the overall range statistics. When comparing the mileage statistics of all the adversaries we can say that the Audi A3 is a better fuel-efficient option available in this range.

Although Infiniti presents itself as a luxury brand, the Q50's interior never quite feels that way, even on the most costly variants. Also starting to seem stale with the interior package. The Q50's front seats and steering wheel feature lots of flexibility, allowing you to find a comfortable position for yourself and your front passengers. Taller rear passengers should take care when boarding the vehicle with their heads and feet. Due to the Q50's thin roof pillars, visibility out the front and sides is greater than usual, but the view to the rear is hampered by the small back window and high trunk lid. 

Infiniti Q50 is almost the same size as its rivals, but it has a lower cargo capacity and fewer functional cubbies inside. The Infiniti may be a comfy highway cruiser, but it's not made for extended family outings. Q50 offers a standard moonroof feature and wide outside visibility that lets in the right amount of daylight. It also comes equipped with a leather-appointed seating upholstery that maintains its softness and breathability in hot and cold weather conditions. It also offers a dual-zone automatic climate control system that can maintain different preferred temperatures automatically and a microfilter traps the pollen and traffic fumes before it enters the cabin.

Infiniti Q50 offers equivalent competition in terms of interior specifications against its contemporaries. Both the Infiniti Q50 and the Acura TLX offer the largest cargo capacity that measuring a total of 13.5 cu-ft. On the other hand, the Lexus IS 350 ranks at the bottom of the table with a maximum of 10.8 cu-ft of cargo capacity. Infiniti Q50 can be fully loaded without worrying about damaging objects when you close the lid since the trunk hinges are located outside of the cargo space. On the other hand, the Acura TLX strikes a fantastic mix between flexibility and control on a variety of road conditions.

How intuitive is the 2023 Infiniti Q50 Infotainment system?

The 2023 Infiniti Q50's dual-screen infotainment system is out of date in comparison to more contemporary competitors, but it does allow for more modular use by allowing different applications to be shown on either the upper or lower screen. However, the dual-screen infotainment system is a jumble of inconsistent fonts, resolutions, and menus that would confuse most customers used to well-integrated electronics.

The system does offer quick reaction times, and the typefaces on both screens are the same. The Q50's wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto may be used with up to seven devices when connected to its Wi-Fi hotspot.

Infiniti Q50's dramatic stance and stunning aerodynamic profile are enhanced by a sculpted, elegant front fascia. Along with that, it is the athletic member of the family, with broad shoulders and a poised low-wide-swept posture. The largest differences are often found in the simplest things. Consider the elegant crescent design of the Infiniti Q50 as it increases the outside for both the driver and the passengers.

Lexus IS 350 offers a better ground clearance with 5.5 inches that offers better drive performance and makes it easier to drive on rough and uphill terrain. However, the lack of statistics on the ground clearance puts the Infiniti Q50 on the second number with 5.1 inches of ground clearance. One of the better size wheelbases can be seen in the Acura TLX which measures 113-inch, Second on the list comes the Infiniti Q50 which has a wheelbase of 112.2 inches. The Audi A3 lurks at the bottom of the table with a wheelbase of 103.5 inches.
