Expert 2015 INFINITI Q50 Hybrid review

Our expert's take

By Cars.com editors

Full article

Vehicle Overview

The Q50 replaced Infiniti’s G37 compact sedan. The change reflects Infiniti’s new naming convention — all cars will be Q and all SUVs QX, each with a number to reflect their size and place in the lineup rather than their engine size. There are 10 available models, including hybrid options.

The Q50 competes with the Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, Cadillac ATS and Lexus IS.

For now
The reason I bought this 2015 Q50s Hybrid AWD because of Nissan history of race ready sports cars like 300zx, 240 and the Skyline GTR, for this having the autopilot it was a plus for me to trade in my 2014 535d Xdrive Msport BMW. Will see if I made that right call for the reliability and build quality.

Solid car
Great gas mileage for being such a fast powerful car! Averaging 32 mpg. I do not find the steer by wire feature to be such an issue like many of the publication reviews did. The car handles very well and the acceleration is awesome almost v8 like. Comfortable cockpit and I'm a big guy. I also have 20k miles with no mechanical
issues as any car with that much shouldn't. All around I find it to be a solid car.
