What Camerons Car Reviews has to say about the Q50: For 2014 Infiniti has an all new replacement for the long in the tooth G Sedan and it's the Q50. For the 2014 model year Infiniti is renaming all of their SUV's and Cars to start with the letter Q to make it seem more simpler. The 2014 Infiniti Q50 was originally supposed to be the new G Sedan. The new Q50 should not be overlooked as this car is a true luxury sports sedan. On the new Q50 you will find two fuel efficient and powerful powertrains a 3.7 L V6 which delivers decent fuel economy and great power as well as a 3.5 L V6 Hybrid which all are made into a modern 7-Speed Automatic. On the interior you will find it to be pretty luxurious with nice high quality materials and excellent sport bolstered seats. There are two huge screens in the new Q50 one used for your navigation and radio and one used for your Infiniti InTouch Apps to access apps as you would on your smartphone. The screen you touch which is the bottom one tends to be very responsive and both of these touch screens give a very modern feel to the Q50. On the exterior the design flavor is more daring with a nice look at me road presence on the front end and nice curves are also evident all around too. Compared to it's competitors the Q50 is a very engaging sports sedan to drive and the new Q50 competes very well against the ever popular 3 Series, ATS, IS, and C Class. So is this luxury sports sedan worth looking at? Yes it is very fuel efficient and powerful powertrains, engaging driving dynamics, and a modern high tech roomy interior make it a very worthy choice in the Luxury sport sedan segment.
Thank god the infiniti line up didn't get the disease of Nissan CVT.
You should have made it known that it is a Q50S initially during the video.
Yes you can hear that amazing exhaust from a block away, I love it! And yes the Q50 looks great! They really nailed it with this one. I cant wait to see them on the streets!
The old exhaust is amazing. It's so distinctive, you don't even have to look to predict what car is driving by. I guess infinity focused a little more on luxury. Personally, I liked the raw and slightly unsophisticated G. But I do love the looks of the Q.
I think it look really good for a sedan. The front look really good.
A fine line of cars, I just hope they so well under this new leadership.
As a Q50S Hybrid owner, I can assure everyone there is not a power thigh extention. That switch is for the horizontal side lumbar support. The leg extenders are manual.
Is it just me or does this look like the 2014 mazda 6 both back and front.This being a more beefed up looking one. Both look good thou
You know I will for sure Ill get the review as soon as it arrives at my local dealership.
No it's leather trust me it may not look like it but it is and I'm glad you liked the video.
omg beatiful car... i want it soooo badly, i love that dual screen layout. the g37 was impressive for its time, this car is astounding for its time. bmw has some serious competition, lexus is definetly fucked
This comment did not age well. It's 2022 and Infiniti still has the same look, so they're truly the ones fucked.
@@TheHotOnes0 excatly, Infiniti ain’t doing so well, who knows how much longer they have in the market before they become nothing. Lexus aint doing bad
@@MichaelatsQ50 just got axed. RIP G35/37 and Q
@@user-360johnn that sucks, i have 2020 accord 2.0t after this im going to boring cash car. I live in the city where these cars are way to nice to own.
I agree with you. I love Infiniti! I like what they have done, especially in years, teaming up with Red Bull Racing. I really do feel that the technology is going to trickle down from RBR to Infiniti cars.
Totally agree that it looks like a Sonata from the back
That's how they do it in the car industry, it's kinda weird since it wasn't made it that year, as a matter of fact they are not the only manufactures, clothing industry is the same.
Get real people,have a new Q50 with every available pack fitted.The European version is fitted with the Mercedes 2.2 Diesel engine with 7 speed auto transmission.On the legal speed limit of 70 I get 55 MPH,that is UK gallons.Amongst the goodies fitted is a Bose 14 speaker sound system,Radar cruise control,and a lot more.great car to drive so smooth and responsive and does it go well.Why did I buy it well it had 10k off the sticker price.
...I'm just here cuz SaabKyle didnt review the Q50 yet.
The Q50 is a Compact Executive sedan which the 3 Series and the ATS are as well
The flasher in the rear tail light is incandescent...
Thanks glad you liked it!
with the head lamps - looks like a G series Lexus and a 5 series BMW had a baby
The headlights are LED, not HID.
Shut up
fuck off
+Smarie18_ 🖕🏽
Ok yes it's put for sale in 2013, it's still a 2014 model year vehicle look on Infiniti's own website. Infiniti is not the only car company that does this.
I agree, It looks nothing like those cars like you said. The only feature that looks somewhat similar is the taillights from a distance. In person, it doesn't look similar to me because the taillights are much more intricate, especially at night with L.E.D's. Anyone who says it looks like the lexus is legally blind.
He was reviewing the Q50S model, where leather seating is standard.
I don't like it either but they are going to be renaming their whole vehicle lineup soon. Q = Sedans, coupes, convertibles QX = SUVs. The Q60 will most likely be a Coupe version of the Q50, and it's rumored that they will announce a Entry-level Q40 to compete with the Lexus CT and the BMW 1series, etc...
I agree, we all know Kia is just a big copy brand but originality is very rare thee days. Many cars look the same in their class.
Rear tail lights are a mix of both LED and non-LED I think. The hazards flashing are clearly non-LED's.
how do yo review a car without testing the performance on the road? tanx for the show still
thanks for the review. looks way better in video than in photos.
Not a big fan of the sound but the front exterior is amazingggg , tbh the back is boring but I don't mind
And the Kia Optima rear end(mainly taillights) look like a Lexus IS 250/350. Originality is rare.
i got 2013 x5 diesel, get the diesel. so much torque and a full tank gets me 300 city miles.
it's soo funny how he's like "2013 PERIOD"..juvenile isn't the word to describe him haha
Such a good looking car!
Reminds me a lot of my I35 in some features. I would definitely consider one used down the road, just watch out for an abused example.
Nice work if u can can u please do the new 2014 Mercedes Benz
No power thigh extension; that's manual and there's a lever under the thigh support for it. The switch you hit at 1:18 is for the side bolsters. You also didn't have to mash the remote 5 times to unlock it. There are sensors inside the door handles that unlock it for you...you leave the key in your pocket all the time.
Also, not HID headlights. They are full LED for lows and highs. The taillights are a mirror version of the headlights. Hyundai, blech.
Need to go to Q50 school, son. :)
YOU GOT IT!!!!!! Finally you are always on top of car releases, keep up the good work!!! :)
This is a freaking nice ride but we dont get it in the UK as far as I know
Very Nice my dad will love this car.
lolzzz same here! Me as an infiniti owner as well, do not like to see people who has nissan`s car got the exactly same key as mine! just the different logo~ I love infiniti so much, but they really need to pay attention to the small things and details that makes the brand stand out !
Looks-wise, Q50 for sure...A4 has a little more prestige imo but after seeing them at the lot, the best part about them is the emblem.
Yes the one I tested was the base Sport model there is definitely options for a power tilt and telescopic steering wheel and cooled seats as well as Infiniti's signature Around view monitor
I know they do,but doesnt mean they are right:) Its accepted practice from everyone,but its just a simple trick to show that in the next year that car will be still up to date,but as i said,that got nothing to do with the fact-produced date and sold date:)
The Q50 can compete with the CTS as well
I miss the unique Nissan/Infiniti exhaust sound. Hopefully they come up with a more sporty sound for the coupé.
that center stack inside kinda resembles the hyundai sonata
You don't say "very nice" in all features! I would like to hear more about these options and why they are nice!
I never knew they did not offer automatic side folding mirrors, cooled seats .. i also didn't know they took away the automatic telescoping steering wheel to manual.. Unless that's offered with a different package? because you were in like a base model.. No all around view camera, back up sensors.. etc
9 years late but it seems that at least here in Europe all these except the cooled seats, which the q50 does not have, are all standard. Too bad they left in 2020
The song when turned the radio on was called "All I wanna do" by Fourplay
yep! they already have most of the parts done great!
This is actually a pretty hot car.
I miss the G series too, but there are some advantages in this car.
Probably every single window is automatic up and down unlike the economy cars that usually only have automatic down on the driver window.
Still don't understand how you compare a 328hp & 360hp Q50 to a 306hp IS, 270hp - 318hp ATS, 300hp 3Series, 220hp A4, & a 302hp C Class......Please explain it to me because if anything this car competes with the AudiS4, BMW 535, Cadillac XTS & CTS, Lexus GS, & the Mercedes EClass!
Shawd comes with 305 BHP. It is heavier though with the awd and tech package. On the other hand it does has Shawd which is really efficient in power distribution so around corners it can be more aggressive. The Nissan would be faster in a straight line and depending on the track may be better or worse. As far as interior quality goes though I'd say both are pretty much on par at this level. The G version's tend to be a little less focused on ergonomics.
Only heated seats! I live in Houston. We NEED cooled seats too! No hybrid for me especially after seeing the trunk space. Overall very nice indeed. Malbec Black for me.
front design is good, but not liking the taillights, the interior is perfect though. i want it!!
Engine bay, interior, and key FOB all looks very similar to my g37... I guess most of the updates are exterior
Wonder why they stop making 3.7. It was only on 14-15’
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!! They still haven't changed the key design. Come Infiniti get with the times, I have the same key for my '06 M45. Love the car btw.
the interior of this car reminds me of the Hyundai Sonata limited turbo.
This is really nice gut it does look like a Hyundai Sonata in the back and in the intierior yet doesn't have sone of the features that a sonata/ Kia optima would have.
Those are all of the base prices of the trims
Nice vid, I'm surprised you have one so soon.
If you are talking about the song at 9:05 of the video, I have no idea, but if you are talking about the song that plays for a few short seconds at 12:19 I believe it is Ja Rule - Put It On Me
That interface with the entertainment screen was extremely slow as well. Infiniti messed up big time with that.
Can't wait for the coupe!!
First-Big Thanks for the great review of one of the best cars at the moment in the mid class! And now..can you answer me to one question? Why the car is reviewed as 2014,as it was developed,engineered in 1012,if i am not mistaken today we are 5.8.2013,,and still you are stating as it is 2014??!! Is this some kind of dumb american trick to make the car newer than it is,or there is another "secret" that i v missed?? Thanks you!
I love this new Q50! It doesn't sound like the old G37 exhaust though :-/ I love that old exhaust!!!!
It does look like a Hyundai from the rear, and you did a great job. Forget that clown.
zoom out a little bit the video will have a better quality! but really nice your review
They switched to an SD-based nav system?
The front looks awesome, the back like you said looks like Hyundai which is a deal breaker for me.
he says there is a power thigh extension. that is false. it is manual. the switch he was pressing was for horizontal side lumbar. it pulls the sides of the seat in to give a more snug feel.
Yup lol
From what I can tell, the touch screen is not that responsive and the voice recognition system is a bit slow and complicated.
That touchscreen interface would drive me nuts. Seems like it's way too slow and not very responsive to slightly off center finger presses. The fingerprints don't help it either.
If I could add my two cents this has been done for a long time, especially when a car is redesigned. Even back in the 80s, the 1984 Corvette was released in March of 1983. By the way, I just bought a 2014 Mazda 6, it was released in February of 2013.
I sure can.
Great review! The front end & interior of the Q50 look good!
Only the base Q50 has the Synthetic leather. The Q50 Premium has a $1000 leather seating option.
thanks for this review cam!!!! great review !!!
Ya bit when everybody said the accord looked like the genisis everybody made a big deal its just taillights
nah this kinda model was out a long time ago they just brought it back
love it dislike the rear. Stick to round skyline lights maybe? worked for the altima
Now it's a real competitor versus the German auto makers.
4:39 the rear is reminiscent that of a Kia Optima or an Audi
Thanks Cam!!
It's been like that for as long as I can remember. No real trick, it's just the way Model Years work. Same way you have Fiscal Years and Calendar Years.
Great review Cameron.
I am considering to buy an M37 this year. Do you think the new Q50 is better than the M?
I like this car but i really wanna know what song was playing when he turned the radio on! anybody know?
Scale from 1 to 10? Overall number grade?
True:) One proper answer here! But all though some "fashion guru's" can predict what would be the fashion wave next year and to tag the line 2014 for example,in the car industry it sounds deceiving:) I understand that this model will be sold in 2014 as well,but then what,next year same car will be 2015??
Come on infiniti!!!! Still the same key?!! I have a 05 G35 with the same key but the car is still bad ass
New engine will come out when the Q60 coupe gets released
I can see Infiniti staying with the old 3.7 liter VQ series engine for a couple of years, but that is really the most disappointing part of this whole car. Was expecting a 2.8 - 3.0 liter turbo direct injection engine. I really doubt the fuel economy will improve much as the previous EPA figures were highly optimistic. DSG transmission would be nice, but minimal changes on the powertrain side of things.
yes the car will be 2013, when you scan it it will say 2013 but it will be registered as a 2014. Some cars say its a 2012 but it can really be a 2013.It is confusing.
Seems like a nice car but how tacky is the 3.7 emblems on the fenders.
Is 350f loiks way more unique and aggressive than this too. Interior of the IS is nicer too. Good attempt though.
