“Negative comments pertain to the infotainment system which is full of glitches and lack the processor power needed to adequately run applications. Also, I am unable to use applications while driving which makes the system pointless - I am forced to use my smartphone while driving (email, internet searches, etc.).”
2014 INFINITI Q50: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2014 INFINITI Q50 is an all-new sport sedan that replaces the G37 sedan. Its redesign brings a new body and cabin, dual-screen infotainment, gasoline and hybrid powertrains, and several advanced driver-assistance technologies.
About the 2014 INFINITI Q50
1st generation, first year (all-new model replacing the G37 sedan)
Infiniti positions the Q50 as a premium sport sedan that mixes strong straight-line performance, bold styling, and a tech-heavy cabin with better day-to-day comfort than many tight-feeling rivals. The core appeal is a powerful V6-based lineup, rear-drive-sedan proportions, and a distinctive interior centered around twin touchscreens and driver personalization. Shoppers who wanted more speed and better fuel economy could also get the hybrid without moving to a larger sedan.
The 3.7 serves as the straightforward V6 model, while the 3.7 Premium adds comfort features such as heated front seats, a moonroof, and Bose audio. Hybrid models pair a 360-hp V6-electric system with Direct Adaptive Steering, while S versions emphasize handling with firmer suspension tuning, stronger brakes, paddle shifters, and more supportive front seats.

2014 INFINITI Q50
(101 reviews)
“I was told the car had heated side mirrors, it does not. I specifically asked about that since my last car had them. The nav system not user friendly. I hate it. The G37 had a much easier to use system. I also HATE the fact that the stereo etc. has to "load" upon start.”
“The voice recognition is AWFUL. The navigation system sometimes doesn't work well. I think it is all part of the voice recognition system.”
