Driving and Performance:

At part throttle, the engine delivers a nice, linear shove promptly. The brakes in Q50 are reassuring. The firm pedal is easy to modulate. It takes the car 109 feet to halt when at a speed of 60 mph. The DAS (Direct Adaptive Steering) is precise and light at low speeds. The grip and composure of Infiniti Q50 is very good.

 `Interior:

The cabin design is good but looks dated. Getting in and out is easy. The two-screen center stack layout looks different. The touchscreen controls demand some time for their proper use. The screen resolution is sharp and the responses are quick. Backseat entry is aided by a long door and a roofline. Driving seat is highly adjustable. The headroom and legroom is enough for the front seat passengers. At the back, the space is adequate when two passengers are seated but feels a little congested with the third passenger. The visibility in the Q50 is quite good. The infotainment system looks outdated as it even does not have Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Exterior:

The 2019 Infiniti Q50 is one of the best luxury compact sedan on the road. Its exterior is punctuated by a sharply creased hood up front and exaggerated haunch at the back. A revised front bumper opens wide at the bottom. The length, width and height are 189.6, 71.8 and 57.2 inches respectively.  

Safety:

The Infiniti Q50 has passed the IIHS safety tests with flying colors. The prominent safety features include Backup Collision Intervention, Around View Monitor and Forward Emergency Braking.

Final Verdict:

The latest model of Infiniti Q50 has attractive design, good powertrain options and ample seating space. The luxury sedan has good safety features. Though the infotainment system is not very advanced but other features easily make up for it.
