Infiniti Q50 Submodels
The Infiniti Q50 launched for the 2014 model year, replacing the popular G37 sedan. It introduced a new design language and a host of technologies, including the controversial Direct Adaptive Steering system. Early cars used the proven 3.7L V6, but the lineup was transformed in 2016 with the arrival of the twin-turbo 3.0L VR30DDTT V6, offered in 300 hp and 400 hp tunes.
While not a classic collector car, the Q50 attracts enthusiasts looking for value and performance. The Red Sport 400 is the most desirable model, packing 400 hp and rear-wheel-drive dynamics in a comfortable sedan package. The VR30 engine is highly tunable, and a large aftermarket exists to support modifications, making it a popular platform for modern Japanese performance fans.
Currently, the Q50 market is centered on depreciation-driven value. With an average sale price around $12,311, these cars offer significant performance for the money. Early V6 models are plentiful and affordable, while late-model Red Sport 400 variants command the highest prices. The market is active but primarily consists of daily drivers and tuner cars rather than curated collections.
Buying Tips
- Pay close attention to the 3.0t engine's service history. Early 2016-2017 models were known for turbo seal failures and serpentine belt issues. Ensure any recalls or service bulletins have been addressed.
- Test the dual-screen InTouch infotainment system thoroughly. It can be slow to respond and prone to freezing, so check for software updates and full functionality.
- Drive a car with the optional Direct Adaptive Steering (DAS) before buying. It's a steer-by-wire system with a unique, disconnected feel that some drivers don't like.
- Red Sport 400 models use staggered run-flat tires which are expensive to replace and can produce a harsh ride. Check their condition and factor replacement costs into your budget.
- Check for coolant leaks around the turbochargers and the radiator, as these are known weak points, especially on tuned examples.
Prices range from as low as $100 for parts cars to $26,000 for newer, low-mileage Red Sport models.
