“I owned a G37 before my Q50. Same platform and power train that I already knew very well with more modern interior and tech features. Even found a Sport Model which are hard to come by. 10/10 love my vehicle would recommend to family and friends without hesitation.”
2015 INFINITI Q50: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2015 INFINITI Q50 is mostly a carryover, with no major mechanical or safety changes. Its clearest equipment change is a standard touchscreen monitor on the Premium, Sport, and hybrid trims; a new optional Performance Wheel package is the other notable update.
About the 2015 INFINITI Q50
1st generation (V37), second model year before the major 2016 powertrain and chassis update.
INFINITI positioned the Q50 as a style-forward luxury sport sedan that mixed strong V6 performance, standout cabin technology, and everyday comfort. The brand’s messaging centered on sleek design, available hybrid power, dual touchscreens, and personalization through its InTuition system. Versus rivals, the Q50’s pitch was less about stripped-down sportiness and more about giving shoppers a roomy, upscale sedan with strong acceleration and unusually advanced tech for its time.
The 2015 Q50 lineup spans a 328-hp V6 entry model, comfort-focused Premium versions, sharper S models, and 360-hp hybrids. Premium trims emphasize features such as heated front seats, a moonroof, and Bose audio, while the S 3.7 adds firmer suspension, larger brakes, paddle shifters, and sport seats. The hybrids pair stronger combined output with efficiency-minded positioning, and both include the Q50's electronically controlled steering system and sport-tuned suspension.
