The 2018 Infiniti Q50 is powerful, well-equipped luxury sedan that doesn't quite match up to Germany's finest yet.
Pros Still beautiful following refresh Red Sport 400's engine is stellar Hybrid's efficiency Updated interior impresses
Cons Direct Adaptive Steering isn't great Still doesn't feel as premium as rivals
Infiniti’s artfully sculpted and muscular midsizer, the Q50, but its performance is less scintillating. The 208-hp turbo 2.0-liter inline-four will disappoint enthusiasts, but a 300-hp twin-turbo 3.0-liter V-6 is offered, as is a hybrid powertrain good for 360 hp and 32-mpg highway. All Q50s get a seven-speed automatic and either rear- or all-wheel drive.
Pros Distinctive and attractive exterior, effortless power.
Cons Numb steering, outdated interior layout, imperfect transmission programming.
