Controlling it all at your fingertips, drivers will be inspired by the dynamic steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters, all while enjoying the comfort of the elegantly-styled interior.

What the Critics Say
The Q50 offers many of the latest high-tech features and driving assistants as well as better-than-average performance at a reasonable price.”
— Edmunds
If Audi and BMW cars were considered the last word in premium compact sport sedans, it seems no one told INFINITI. The 2021 Q50 is sleek, well-equipped, roomy, athletic, brimming with safety features from the second-lowest trim level, and priced well below the German competition.”
