The INFINITI Q50 lineup starts with 2.0t, 3.7, and PURE versions as the straightforward entry point. Premium and LUXE models are the comfort step-up, adding upscale touches that matter in daily driving. Sport and S 3.7 models form the sharper-handling branch, while Hybrid Premium, Hybrid LUXE, and S Hybrid pair gas-electric power with a fuller technology package. Signature Edition, EDITION 30, and SENSORY focus on richer styling and cabin details. RED SPORT 400 sits at the top as the performance model, with more power plus upgraded suspension and brakes.
The Base Model trim level covers 2.0t, 2.0t PURE, 3.0t PURE, 3.7, and PURE; it is the straightforward Q50 with core performance, dual screens, and everyday luxury basics.

Highlights
The Comfort Upgrade trim level covers 2.0t LUXE, 2.0t Premium, 3.0t LUXE, 3.0t Premium, 3.7 Premium, and LUXE; it is the Q50's comfort-minded middle ground.

From 2022 through the final model year, the lineup consists of LUXE, SENSORY, and RED SPORT 400. LUXE is the comfort-focused starting point, SENSORY adds richer styling and cabin features, and RED SPORT 400 is the performance model.
In the years when both were offered, LUXE was the more comfort-focused Q50. Depending on the era, it added touches such as a moonroof, upgraded interior trim, and more convenience equipment while keeping the same engine as the comparable PURE.
On newer Q50s, both use the 300-hp twin-turbo V6. SENSORY adds sport-styled bumpers, black exterior trim, built-in navigation, enhanced ambient lighting, and an upgraded climate system with an air purifier.
On newer models, RED SPORT 400 keeps the SENSORY’s upscale theme but adds a 400-hp V6, electronically controlled suspension, larger sport brakes with red calipers, paddle shifters, and more distinctive sport seats. SENSORY has the standard 300-hp tune.
In the years when both were sold, SPORT paired the 300-hp V6 with upgraded suspension, brakes, seats, and styling. RED SPORT 400 used similar performance hardware but added the stronger 400-hp version of the twin-turbo V6.
The 3.0t Premium is the comfort-oriented choice, with the 300-hp V6, a moonroof, and Bose audio. The 3.0t Sport adds firmer electronically controlled suspension, larger brakes, sport seats, paddle shifters, and more aggressive bodywork.
The engine is the main difference. Earlier 2.0t models use a 208-hp turbo four-cylinder, while 3.0t versions use a 300-hp twin-turbo V6. Trim names such as PURE, LUXE, Premium, and Sport then identify the equipment level.
Both early trims use the 328-hp 3.7-liter V6. The 3.7 Premium focuses on comfort with a moonroof, heated front seats, and Bose audio. The S 3.7 adds sport suspension, larger brakes, paddle shifters, more supportive seats, and sportier styling.
Both early hybrid trims use the 360-hp gas-electric V6 system. Hybrid Premium emphasizes comfort, cameras, and driver aids. S Hybrid adds a sportier suspension tune, sport seats, 19-inch wheels, and bolder exterior styling.
EDITION 30 is a special anniversary trim from the pre-SENSORY era. It combines the twin-turbo V6 with dark exterior and cabin accents, sport seats, navigation, adaptive cruise control, and a surround-view camera system.
Signature Edition is a limited-production, premium appearance version of the 300-hp Q50. Equipment varies by era, but its theme is distinctive exterior detailing, a richer cabin, and bundled comfort or driver-assistance features rather than extra engine output.
LUXE is the straightforward daily-driver pick among newer Q50s. It keeps the 300-hp V6 and adds leather-appointed seating, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, Bose audio, a surround-view camera, and adaptive cruise control.
Look for RED SPORT 400. Since its introduction in the turbo era, it has been the strongest factory Q50, with a 400-hp twin-turbo V6 plus upgraded suspension, larger brakes, paddle shifters, and sport-focused seats.
Yes. RED SPORT 400 uses a 400-hp version of the Q50’s 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6. Regular 3.0t, LUXE, SENSORY, and SPORT models from the same turbo era use the 300-hp tune.
