2023 INFINITI Q50: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2023 INFINITI Q50 is a true carryover with no major changes from 2022. The same three-trim lineup and 300- or 400-hp twin-turbo V6 formula return.
About the 2023 INFINITI Q50
1st generation Q50 (2014-2024), late-cycle year after the 2018 refresh.
INFINITI positioned the Q50 as a small luxury sport sedan with strong standard V6 power, bold styling, and a driver-focused cabin. A key difference versus many rivals was simple: every 2023 Q50 used a twin-turbo V6 rather than a smaller base four-cylinder. The model’s appeal centered on muscular everyday performance, a roomy sedan cabin with standard comfort features, and a step-up RED SPORT 400 for shoppers who wanted a faster factory setup without leaving the Q50 range.
The 2023 Q50 lineup ranges from the well-equipped LUXE to the more dressed-up SENSORY and the 400-hp RED SPORT 400. LUXE has leather seating, heated front seats, Bose audio, and wireless Apple CarPlay; SENSORY pairs sport styling with navigation, while RED SPORT 400 has stronger brakes and an electronically controlled suspension.
