Infiniti Q50: feedback from owners, specifications

Perhaps, one of the best sports sedans of Japanese manufacture is Infiniti Q50. Comments that people leave about this car, please with positive comments. And this car really can not but make a pleasant impression. In 2013, his presentation was held in Detroit, and recently the public was presented with an updated version of the sedan.

Briefly about the model

This car looks great. Its length reaches 4800 mm, width - 1820 mm. The height is 1455 mm, and the wheelbase is 2850 mm. The ground clearance is 12.6 mm. Thanks to such dimensions, the sedan looks sporty dynamic.

Powerful Infiniti Q50 is based on the newest chassis, designed specifically for this model. The developers improved the power structure of the body, while simultaneously managing to reduce the weight of the car, thanks to the use of aluminum in the design. This affected the handling.

Sports version

The Sport version looks special. It, unlike the base sedan, has a more "sharp" look and a modified carbon bumper. A special originality is added to the image of a predatory radiator grille and elegant headlights, made in an unusual form, similar to a crescent moon. Under the bumper, you can see additional LEDs and air intakes. Also noteworthy are the updated side skirts and forged 20-inch wheels with bright red brake calipers. And the rear part is decorated with round exhaust pipes of the exhaust system, between which a brake light is located. In general, the design of this car can be told endlessly, but it's much better to see the splendor of the sports sedan by looking at his photo provided above.

Interior

The information about the car Infiniti Q50 reviews abound with a detailed description of the interior of this car. And the interior of the sedan is really chic. Salon entirely corresponds to the canons of the premium segment. Ergonomics is at an altitude, controls are located at hand, and decoration materials are pleased with their high quality.

The instrument panel is very attractive. It is not only laconic and beautiful. The panel is not overloaded with various unnecessary features that could distract the driver from the driving process. The person will only receive important information, which he can see on the color display, located between the main devices.

One of the main highlights of the saloon is a 3-spoke steering wheel, on which there are buttons for controlling the music system, cruise and on-board computer.

What else is there inside?

Reviews of car owners Infiniti Q50 detail about the central console. There are two color screens at once. Upper, 8-inch, a little submerged in the torpedo. Still people say, that very successful decision of developers became delivery of buttons of management "climate" and "music" in separate blocks.

And, of course, the seats. They were designed in conjunction with NASA, which already means a lot. Excellent lateral support, convenient form, a huge number of settings and adjustments - these are their three main qualities. A disadvantage is one - there is no ventilation.

As the experience of the Infiniti Q50 and the testimonials show, only two people can comfortably stay behind. The third one will be superfluous - you can understand this by looking at the central tunnel. But behind there are ventilating deflectors and an armrest with coasters. And also this car has a very large trunk. It can accommodate 500 liters of cargo.

Specifications

This topic is also interesting, as well as reviews. "Infiniti Q 50" 2015/2016 of the year can boast of powerful power units. Under the hood of the updated version, a 3-liter V-twin 6-cylinder twin-turbo engine is installed. It is offered in two versions - 300 and 400 horsepower. By the way, in tandem with the motor there is a 7-speed "automatic".

In addition to the new motor, a petrol 2-liter turbocharged unit for 211 "horses" is offered. The maximum speed of the car in this case will be 245 km / h, and acceleration to "hundreds" will take about 7.3 seconds. As stated in the specifications, this engine consumes 7 liters in mixed mode.

There are models with a hybrid power plant, whose power is equal to 364 "horses". Of these, 302 belong to a 3.5-liter gasoline engine, and 67 to an electric motor.

It is interesting that each version of the sports sedan is offered with a rear and four-wheel drive.

Control

Ideal driving - this is what the Infiniti Q50 boasts. The sedan is equipped with a system of direct adaptive control of the second generation, which is known as Direct Adaptive Steering. Thanks to its presence, the car received an accurate sense of steering and instant feedback.

In addition, this car has a system of dynamic digital suspension. And this provides an excellent combination of good handling and comfort.

Separately, drivers mark the system for selecting the driving mode DMS. On the updated model, she received the so-called personal mode. The drivers were given the opportunity to determine the engine settings, the steering and, of course, the suspension.

Direct Adaptive Steering

This is really an innovative system used in management. Therefore, it should be discussed in more detail.

In it, it was decided to optimize the algorithm of work, and also to increase the feedback. So the system received five different modes. "Standard", "Ecological", "Winter", "Sports" and "Sport +". And the driver was able to choose the level of feedback and the severity of the steering wheel. This is what many call the sixth regime - personal. However, it was mentioned above.

The peculiarity of this system is that it adapts not only the management style, but also the car itself to the conditions. If, for example, a person travels around the city, the DAS understands this (having come to the conclusion by the analysis of the traffic situation, of course). And she tunes the car for maximum maneuverability. If a person begins to move along the track, then the control becomes more athletic. After all, the system sees that the speed has increased and remains at this level for some time. Therefore, it adjusts the management to the nature of the ride. But it is especially surprising that this system makes up to a thousand adjustments in the rate of one second.

Owner Comments

Now in more detail should consider the reviews about the sedan Infiniti Q50. The first thing that owners pay attention to is a noiseless start. Such an advantage the car "awarded" electric drive, which is activated by the operation of lithium-ion batteries.

Still people assure, that on such car it is comfortable to go in absolutely any mode. Both in the city and in sports. However, as the connoisseurs of dynamic driving say, during the "racing" ride there is not enough characteristic hum of the motor. But this is quality for an amateur.

Due to the fact that the Q50 is fully equipped with electric steering, the ride is extremely enjoyable. Even if a person runs into rocks, irregularities or pits - no vibrations are transmitted to the steering wheel. The driver will not feel any obstacles at all. True, some say this as a minus. Because attention on the road is sometimes blunted.

By the way, if suddenly the electronics fail, nothing terrible will happen, since the direct mechanical coupling of the wheels and the steering wheel will be restored.

Chassis

On the suspension Infiniti Q50 reviews there is a variety. But mostly positive. People say that it turned out to be quite elastic and tough. Some would like from a premium car a softer suspension. And others, on the contrary, are happy to sacrifice a small amount of comfort for the sake of perfect management. By the way, the previously mentioned DAS system automatically steers the wheels of the car in those moments when it passes the ruts and turns.

On the highway car rides perfectly. By the way, the owners of the hybrid Infiniti are noticing an interesting feature. People say: sometimes when driving on the highway you can see that the arrow of the tachometer has dropped to zero. This happens because the system disconnects the ICE and the car rides due to electric traction. And this happens not only at low speeds, but also when the arrow of the speedometer exceeds the mark of 120 km / h. But if you click on the gas, the ICE will start working again. And the arrow of the tachometer will rise.

The maximum complete set

As the reviews of the owners of the Infiniti Q50 and experience of operation show, it is best to purchase this sports sedan in maximum equipment. Because in this case a person gets everything that he can only come in handy, and even more.

Tire pressure system, outside temperature sensor , intuitive lighting, alarm system, light and rain sensors, halogen headlights with washers, fog light, rear window heater with timer, UV-filter and darkening glasses, windshield heating is just the minimum that can Boast a sedan in the maximum configuration. A person will receive even a windshield wiper with intermittent operation, which depends on the speed at which the car moves! What to say about the presence of parktronics or about folding electric mirrors.

But still worth noting the attention of a few more useful features. This is an automatic 2-zone "climate", stove air ducts, placed on the floor, electric windows, warning buzzer on the lights and forgotten keys in the ignition lock, LED interior lighting, memory of the settings of the seats, steering wheel and mirrors, as well as 14 speakers and 2-channel An audio system known as Hi-Fi. This bundle is called Premium + NAVI.

A car with a 211-horsepower 2-liter engine and such equipment will cost about 2 300 000 rubles.

Motorists about the operation of equipment

The technical characteristics of the Infiniti Q50 sedan, as you can see, are very good. Now you can talk about how everything works, what this car is equipped with. This topic is also very important.

Some say that some functions do not work well enough. For example, the multimedia system does not read all the flash cards. And the Bluetooth system does not "make friends" with each phone, it is necessary to connect several times to make it work. Another often wrong navigator. Instead of the city, he shows forests, fields, mountains. So say the owners of the Infiniti Q50.

Infiniti Koo 50 is a good car, but there are also drawbacks. Many people note that the screens strongly reflect the glare, if the sun is in the street. This can be distracting. The cameras of the circular review are too quickly spoiled. Also, the owners say that sometimes after some time after the operation there are errors in the work of the system "Start / Stop", which informs the computer.

As you can see, there are some drawbacks in the car Infiniti Q50. The responses of the owners are different: some people insist that you can close your eyes to some shortcomings, others do not consider it right. However, each car has its drawbacks.

What else is worth knowing

In every car there is something that you like most. The Infiniti Q50 is no exception. Operation, testimonials, test drives - all this helps to understand what is the main advantage of the car.

And, as owners assure, in Q50 this quality of finishing materials, management and dynamics. Particularly pleasing is the work of the "machine". Gear shift is absolutely not felt - it seems that in fact a variator is installed in the car.

However, the mood can spoil the expense. In practice, the car consumes more fuel. The weakest engine, for example, needs a little more than 10 liters per 100 "urban" kilometers.

But, as manufacturers assure, this machine is ideal for Russian climatic conditions. Since its presentation was held only recently, it was not possible to test it in the harshest temperature "minus". But the previous model was put into a frost without problems. Because we can assume that the novelty will not fail too.

Cost

Finally, I should say a few words about the price of this car. By the way, many consider it to be advantageous. 2.3-2.5 million rubles for a car with a 211-horsepower engine and maximum configuration - it's not so much, if you remember how good this sport sedan is from a technical point of view. So far, the model is offered only with this engine. Which is also not bad, as it is known, it was developed by experts Infiniti in conjunction with the masters of the concern Mercedes-Benz.

Many people have already bought a novelty. And, if you want to get a premium car with excellent characteristics and a rich bundle, then you can safely choose in favor of this model of "Infiniti".
