The 2024 Infiniti Q50 may be growing old, but it hasn’t lost any of its moves. The Q50 sport sedan delivers a comfortable blend of performance and luxury with a price tag in the same range as the Genesis G70, Acura TLX, and Lexus IS. To sweeten the pot, Infiniti loads the Q50 with features costing thousands more than its competitors, even on the base Luxe trim.
All Q50 models are driven by their rear wheels, a setup favored by driving enthusiasts. All-wheel drive is available across the trim range for those needing improved grip in snow and rain. The Luxe and Sensory employ a 300-horsepower twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6, while the fire-breathing Red Sport 400, with its 400-hp version of the same engine, challenges models like the Audi S4 and Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio.
If the Q50 has one weak spot, it would be its interior. The dash, infotainment setup, and instrumentation are decidedly 2018, but that may appeal to buyers unimpressed by digital instrument clusters and giant touchscreens.
Let’s dive deeper and see which 2024 Infiniti Q50 trim level works best for you.

What’s New:
The 2024 Infiniti Q50 carries over with no significant changes.
Our Recommendation:
We’d rarely pick the base trim as the best value, but in this case, the Q50 Luxe is the way to go. It comes packed with features usually reserved for top-of-the-line cars, minus navigation, which most people get via smartphones.
Of course, performance fans will want the Red Sport 400 for its additional power and sport suspension.

2024 Infiniti Q50 Luxe: $43,050 (RWD), $45,050 (AWD)
For many luxury buyers, the Q50 Luxe trim offers all they’ll need at a price that defies logic.
You’d expect an entry-level luxury trim to feature things like 18-inch alloy wheels wrapped in all-season run-flat tires, auto on/off LED headlights, and Infiniti’s Intelligent Key keyless entry system that uses a proximity key fob to allow locking and unlocking the doors by touching the handle.
But the list doesn’t stop there. The Luxe also features LED fog lights, an acoustic windshield, speed- and rain-sensing wipers, a power moonroof, and power-folding heated side mirrors with a tilt-down feature when the transmission is reversed.
Venturing inside, we find a posh interior highlighted by supple leather-upholstered seats in various colors, augmented by aluminum accent trim.
The Luxe provides heated 8-way power front seats with driver’s seat memory and 2-way power lumbar support. Another unexpected touch is a leather-wrapped power-adjustable heated steering wheel with controls for the cruise, audio, and infotainment system.
Dual-zone automatic climate control, electroluminescent gauges, rear seat air vents, and one-touch up/down power windows complete the interior highlights.
A dual LED touchscreen setup controls the Q50’s climate and infotainment system. The 8-inch upper screen displays the audio, wireless Apple CarPlay, wired Android Auto, and the 360-degree Around View monitor. SiriusXM satellite radio comes standard, as does streaming Bluetooth and the ability to speak specific commands. A brilliant 16-speaker Bose Centerpoint surround-sound system brings your music to life.
A smaller 7-inch touchscreen for the climate controls and vehicle information is below the infotainment screen. Infiniti wisely provides secondary hard buttons for functions like heated seats, climate control, and audio volume.
One oversight in an otherwise excellent cabin is the lack of USB ports for the rear-seat passengers. Fortunately, you can order them as a dealer-installed accessory.
Last but not least, we come to the Q50’s standard driver-assist systems. Like its cabin content, the Luxe doesn’t skimp on safety features. The mix includes automatic high-beam headlights, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, forward collision warning, rear automatic emergency braking, and a blind-spot monitor with intervention.
Additional features include lane-departure warning, front and rear parking sensors, and adaptive cruise control with full-speed range and stop-and-go ability.
While there are no factory option packages for the Luxe, buyers can add several individual items, such as a lighted Infiniti grille emblem, a black sport grille with a built-in camera, radiant exterior lighting with Infiniti logo puddle lamps, and ambient interior lighting.
With the $1,150 destination fee, the 2024 Infiniti Q50 Luxe costs $44,200. On a 60-month loan at 5% financing and $0 down, the monthly payment comes to about $834. See 2024 Infiniti Q50 Luxe models for sale near you

2024 Infiniti Q50 Red Sport 400: $56,900 (RWD), $58,900 (AWD)
The Q50 Red Sport 400 is the way to go if you seek a performance sedan. The 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 pumps out 400 hp, while the adaptive sport suspension helps this sedan hug the road in turns and return a more comfortable ride over rough pavement.
The Red Sport 400 gets larger brakes for improved stopping power. It also gets staggered-width front and rear 19-inch wheels with high-performance tires. Other exterior enhancements include a sport exhaust, red brake calipers, and black side mirrors.
The Red Sport’s cabin boasts quilted semi-aniline leather sport seats featuring driver’s seat power side bolsters and manual extendable thigh support. Red contrast stitching throughout reminds you what you’re driving.
