2023 Infiniti Q50 - DM Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 гру 2022
- The Infiniti Q50 is a bit like going to your Grandmother's house. You really enjoy the nostalgia, and it makes you feel all warm inside. However, sometimes it's nice to leave, and go to your own home that's modern, and has things like cooled seats, and...erm.. a heated steering wheel button that ISN'T in the infotainment screen.

2:15 “why is it snowing out here” -“because of the roof and gravity” 😭😭
Since this car hasn’t really changed in eight years… Probably a better choice to get used. 56K seems very expensive for this car.
Lol exactly what I said and did get urself A low mile super clean one under $20k cash
Actually, that's a great thing about it! This is a car that doesn't need any changes, it is perfect as is!! I own a 2019 and going for a 2023 sensory! This car is a gem
@@luismoreno6264 lol under 20k? You mean clapped out
@@luismoreno6264 under 30k sure under 20k not unless it's been beat to death with 150k miles on it. A good condition one goes for like 24-28k and I'm talking about the standard variants. A red sport model is about 30-35k depending on year and condition
@Gotworc those prices are probably for 2018 q50. 2019 go for 30k
I’ve always thought this car gets a harder time than it deserves. Looks are a great balance between being distinctively Infiniti and still somewhat conservative and not begging for clicks, and I don’t take as much offense to the interior, especially the tech/infotainment as some people do. Love that the twin turbo V6 is standard unlike LITERALLY EVERY OTHER ENTRY in this segment (except the Model 3 ofc), but just wish the driving dynamics could be a little more dialed in. I appreciate that it’s not as clinical and perfectly sharp as the German choices in this segment, but a little more feedback to the inputs would be awesome. Wish Infiniti had the courage and balls to be more of a “different, niche” option in this segment, but alas, Infiniti wants every sale it can get, I guess.
Exactly that's why I keep buying it! Everything else out there is over hyped and overrated.
I remember test driving this and putting it in sports mode, put my foot down and this car FLEW. The sales rep got scared 🤣 and wanted to me go 30 mph (i only went 50).
This was refreshing... It's obviously not the freshest thing, but it's SOLID. And it still looks REALLY good and has aged very well. Yea you could get a BMW or MB for $50k+, but you'll also be getting a 4-cyl. There's just something about a good sport sedan with a 6-cylinder. I also agree that the infotainment is pretty good to use with being able to keep CarPlay up on the top screen while still being able to do everything else on the lower screen It doesn't have all of the fancy new tricks and features, but most people don't even use those outside of the first few months. It usually set your music and climate and go, and if you got CarPlay, that covers everything else.
Personally I’m glad they did minor tweaks to the Q50, it’s not a bad car at all it’s quick and frankly looks good. You can pick up this same 23’ used w roughly 20-30k miles for a good 25k if you know how to talk your way to that in a dealership.
28:20 Press/hold lock+unlock buttons at the same time on your fob for a few seconds while you're near your car. It'll shut the honk off when you use fob. It's an old Infiniti trick, if it still works. I've heard it works on Nissans too.
It does
The only thing infinity needs to do with the interior display is extend the digital display out to where the vents are so it’s a wider digital view and touch screen… the air vents can be vertical on top of the wider digital screen …that small change will make the interior stand out above competitors
Agree. I drove one of their 2023 SUVs and it had a wider display like you mentioned. Loved it. But I prefer sedan's so I bought the 2023 Q50.
This reminds me of the last gen Genesis G60 in many ways. A nice blend of sport/lux/stealth. Excellent review as always guys.
I’m not sure if you figured out, or looked up the process, but you can “trick” the system into displaying digital speed in the center display. I don’t know why Infiniti didn’t make that standard.
Also, the non-red sport 3.0t motor runs hot and doesn’t have quite enough of an oil supply. This means the far cylinders tend to see a high rate of head gasket failures and then you get a new motor. Warranties are essential.
Essential.
This car will last a long time, if you buy it used you may run into transmission issues by the 50-60k mark.
But after fixing that, you are good for atleast 250k miles.
I have an m35 with the 3.7 engine and with 220k miles and a q50 with 50k miles.
Totally worth the purchase.
I've never heard of the 7-speed having any issues besides not being the most sporty/quick shifting thing.
The interior gives me 03 FX45 vibes. The FX also had the brick-and-brown package.
still a beautiful car
Yes, better than anything 4 doors out there!!!
I have an 08 G37. I got to drive the 2020 Q50 for a few days while mine was in the shop. Q has a lot more low-end torque but G pulls harder on higher revs. I prefer the G engine mapping. Much smoother around town and when I rev it out, it pulls. Q is the other way around. I keep chirping in town and when I want to have fun a bit, nothing much is up there.
I agree! The G had a more confident driving experience...plus, I hate run flat & Ultra low profile tires on these new cars
@@darkhorse6770 LOL get new tires and tune the car
@@user-tl7de9dd1p not everyone wants to tune id just get a faster car instead 🤷🏽♂️
I gotta check this Q50
I still dont understand why Infinite are still using the old style cluster from Nissan? Even the new Nissan dash cluster is mostly digital
Great review like Charlie's driving style. used to have a g35 coupe and remember i wanted the g37 IPL and supposedly infinity was going to release more IPL models but never did -_-
I honestly really enjoyed this, I also do like the q50s looking at getting a 2014-15 with a vq 3.7
They got rid of the 4 cyl because it was an old underpowered MB eng and it ended up being more cost effective for them to just use the low boost 300hp version of the VR30.
subscribing for the Avril Lavigne cd
the horn beep can be turned off
They could not even update the map screen resolution?
It was updated along with the lower screen. It's actually pretty high-res, its just a matte finish. I had a QX50 loaner and felt that both screens were pretty sharp.
Complain all you want about mundane things and no refresh, but, this car is very well developed and there are lots of parts for it. It can take a lot of abuse and still thrive on.The Infiniti V6 is another very well developed component and this engine is surprisingly quick. Let's hope Infiniti does not ruin it with a complete redo and a crappy 4 cyl Mercedes engine!
Not a lot of knee space in the back unless you are both 6 foot plus. Missing electronic emerg brake and no paddle shifters. Should have foot sensor on trunk for this money. I’ll probably look at the ES350 with only fwd.
My reaction to every Infiniti review these days: Is this new?
How does the stereo sound?????
Sound test is coming soon! It was supposed to be up yesterday but I was sick :(
@Daily Motor good, I am an audiophile and I literally consider cars based on how the stereo sounds

BMW cognac vibes 👀
The problem is my 2016 Q50 Red Sport looked almost identical to the new Q50, they are stuck in quicksand. I enjoyed the Red Sport but the Q50 has hardly changed in 10 years!! Infiniti's biggest problem now is Genesis, traded the Red Sport for a GV70 3.5 Sport Prestige and there's no comparison in tech and fit/finish. Genesis is Infiniti's kryptonite.......
I am pretty surprised the Q50 didn't a dramatic refresh at all.
@@DailyMotor Since 2014 no major changes, now it's too late..........
Is there anyway to even tell if this Q50 is from 2023 or 2020 or any other year....
How in the he'll did yall even fit in the back seat lol
Rest in piece Avril Lavigne ;( she would have loved the Q50 ;(
lol
LOL looks the same as my 2014 q50 sport
Your 3.7 doesn’t have LED lighting, or two turbos.
I certainly would not kick it out of bed for eating Acura's
Only complaint with owning this vehicle(2017 redsport RWD) is the open rear differential
You can pick up pretty low mileage ones for the low 20s. Screaming deal on the used market for a Twin Turbo v6
No u can’t
30's maybe
@@thermalkid9383 yes you can if you want the 3.0 with low miles then yea 26-22k depending on the condition and where you live but a 3.7 you could easily get one under 20k and that’s with decent miles
@@Tm0n3y762 you can't get a 3.0 with low miles for under 26k lmao, anything that's under that is a salvage/rebuilt title
@@tylerpark9687 idk where you live lol I see plenty on car guru
You can silence alarm..... Luxury Nissan Maxima
Q50.....do people consider this a fast and furious tattoo whazzup dawg wag my finger sway my head type of car? Or a car for a grown up.
When is this vehicle going to change design 😢
same interior from 2014 🚮
They don't even know it's a twin turbo v6 7 speed tranny. Worst review ever!
Great power and handling, navigation and electronics in general are garbage, have been for many years...way to glitchy for a "luxury" car. Had an 18 and now a 21 thinking it might have been improved..I was wrong, same crap.
I've had 2 of them and going for the 3rd! Not sure what you mean! I've had nothing but best experience, will not buy anything else
Ecutek tuned here 415whp
@@user-tl7de9dd1p no matter how much you upgrade it the car will always be old and cheap faced the same problem with the g37 I love Infiniti but they need to honestly get it together and recapture that same spark they once had complete make over across all there models let’s just hope to god they don’t throw a CVT in the next one who knows with Nissan 🤷🏽♂️
@@Tm0n3y762 im moving away from infiniti soon.
@@Tm0n3y762 I’d be mad like you too if I didn’t have the 3.0 VR30.
All you people buying used, enjoy the “low mileage” unit that I had +7 psi tuned and redlined at every opportunity. Surely it won’t be a liability for you as the next owner in line.
