Overview

Cars like the 2017 Infiniti Q50 Hybrid Sedan might not be able to give you the direct benefits one might expect from its hybrid powertrain. However, its use must not be overlooked. The Q50 Hybrid uses its 3.5L V6 engine and a single motor hybrid system and a 1.4 kWh battery to produce 360 horsepower. This gives the Q50 Hybrid a 0-60 of 5.2 seconds. The hybrid engine here is to support the gasoline engine to boost performance and offer slightly better fuel economy than what a single gasoline engine would be capable of. That said, the 2017 Q50 Hybrid achieves a combined fuel economy of 29 MPG. That said, the Q50 Hybrid belongs to the compact sedan segment and it indirectly competes with midsize sedans such as the Lexus ES 300h Hybrid, the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid, and the less affordable Acura RLX Hybrid. It offers only one trim, starting off at an MSRP of $47,800. 

Buying Advice

From heated seats to a sport-tuned suspension and from parking sensors to a 16-speaker Bose sound system, when it comes to features, the Q50 Hybrid is well-equipped. However, we do recommend the Technology Package for extra driving assistance features.
