The 2026 Infiniti Q50 is not produced, as the model was discontinued after the 2024 model year in the US. The Q50 was a compact luxury sports sedan with a four-door configuration, comparable to the BMW 3 Series, Genesis G70, and Acura TLX. The final iteration retained the existing platform without a full redesign or major structural changes. The standard configuration included rear-wheel drive powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine producing 300 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission. Select trims delivered 400 horsepower from the same engine, with optional Intelligent All-Wheel Drive available for different driving conditions.
The infotainment setup utilized the INFINITI InTouch system, featuring dual 8-inch touchscreens, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 16-speaker Bose audio system, and SiriusXM Travel Link providing traffic and weather data. Driver assistance technologies encompassed ProPILOT Assist, which incorporated adaptive cruise control with lane centering, along with Around View Monitor for parking. The MyINFINITI app supported remote vehicle access, including lock and unlock functions, status checks, cabin preconditioning, and over-the-air updates for infotainment improvements. Subscriptions were available for navigation map refreshes and enhanced security monitoring.
