The Infiniti Q50 returns, largely unchanged for the 2024 model year, albeit with a US$ 400 price hike across the lineup. That means that the sporty sedan now starts at US$ 44,200 (all prices include US$ 1,150 destination charge). As ever, the lineup starts with Luxe trim, which offers standard 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels and leather seats that are heated up front. It also gets a heated steering wheel, wireless Apple CarPlay, USB-based Android Auto, an audio system from Bose, and more. For an extra US$ 2,000, Infiniti will direct a driveshaft to the front wheels, turning it into an all-wheel-drive machine.
Next up comes the Q50 Sensory. It alters
the styling slightly by adding sporty fascias front and rear, as well as black
exterior accents and mirrors, as well as 19-inch wheels. Inside, occupants get
open-pore wood-toned trim, integrated navigation, and an advanced climate
control system with an air purifier. It also gets a Radiant Grille Emblem to
help it look extra special. Pricing for the Sensory model starts at US$ 49,900,
while the AWD model starts at US$ 51,900.
Finally, things get really sporty with the
Q50 Red Sport 400. Like the others, it is powered by a 3.0-liter,
twin-turbocharged V6 engine, but it has been tuned to make 400 hp, which is 100 hp more than its stablemates. To rein all that
power in, it gets uprated four-piston front and two-piston rear brake calipers,
as well as exclusive 19-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, and an advanced suspension
system that automatically adjusts the shock absorber valves for better
performance around the corners.
Once again, this model can be made even
more special with the Black Opal Edition package. This adds a carbon fiber rear
spoiler, and Black Opal Metallic paint. The shimmering, color-changing shade
was inspired by black opals and adds US$ 2,200 to the price of the car, which
starts at US$ 58,050 for the RWD model, and US$ 60,050 for the AWD model.
Infiniti says that the 2024 Q50 will start
arriving in showrooms this month.
