“Great performance and offers a lot of amenities that you need/want in a vehicle but more on the compact side. Great for a single person or small family.”
2019 INFINITI Q50: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2019 INFINITI Q50 is a light-update model whose biggest change is standard Forward Emergency Braking and Predictive Forward Collision Warning across the lineup. INFINITI also simplifies the trim range and gives the 3.0t SPORT more standard equipment.
About the 2019 INFINITI Q50
1st generation Q50 (2014-2024), second year after the 2018 exterior and interior refresh.
The 2019 Q50 is Infiniti’s driver-focused luxury sport sedan: a four-door built around strong engine choices, rear-wheel-drive character, available AWD, and a cabin that mixes comfort with a distinctly sporty feel. Infiniti positions it as a sedan that blends performance and technology without giving up everyday usability. Its main appeal is straightforward: more power than many rivals at the same trim level, available advanced driver aids, and a more dramatic, coupe-like design than typical compact luxury sedans.
The 2019 Q50 lineup spans the straightforward 208-hp 2.0t PURE, the 300-hp V6-powered LUXE, and the sharper SPORT and RED SPORT 400 models. The new Signature Edition bundles the 300-hp V6 with heated leather seats, a heated steering wheel, and a surround-view camera. The SPORT stands out with an electronically adjustable sport suspension, larger brakes, Bose audio, and navigation, while the RED SPORT 400 raises output to 400 hp and adds quilted leather.

2019 INFINITI Q50
(130 reviews)
“Great performance- good quality vehicle - amazing sound system - comfortable & fun car to drive.”
“Very comfortable ride, nice sound system and great climate control. Unfortunately, there is not seat setting memory. It was only available on the sport model, but sport model was not as comfortable riding. Charging outlets do not charge. Not enough storage, or cup holders. Navigation doesn't work well.”
