Get to know the 2023 Q50 & Its Trim Levels

The INFINITI Q50 has been in existence for about ten years now. INFINITI has continued to rework and refine the Q50 over that time. While the 2023 version is light on upgrades, many nice features make it a competitor to the Mercedes-Benz C class and BMW 3 series. The Q50 remains a stylish and handsome luxury sedan. However, the newest model does not have enough external upgrades to keep it stylish for too many more model years.

The Q50 has a standard twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 engine available to all trim levels. It comes with a seven-speed automatic transmission, and you can choose between all-wheel or rear-wheel drive. All-wheel drive is an upgrade and comes at a cost. The highest trim level, the Red Sport 400, allows for an upgraded engine. All models of the Q50 come with a complimentary three-year maintenance plan that has no mileage restrictions. The 2023 version has three trim levels: Luxe, Sensory, and Red Sport 400.

The Luxe trim is the base model, and you can expect it to start around $43,725. This trim level provides a remote start, heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel. In addition to being heated, the steering wheel has power tilt, telescoping capabilities, and memory settings. For 2023, this trim level has saddle brown as an interior color option. The Q50 provides a Bose stereo and 16 speakers on which you can use wireless Apple Play or USB Android Auto. It has 18-inch wheels. The entry-level trim comes with a whole host of driver assistance features, including predictive forward collision warning. It also includes adaptive cruise control to keep a set distance between you and the car in front of you.

With an upgrade to the Sensory trim, you get an INFINITI emblem on your grille that is illuminated. This trim level starts at around $49,425 and comes with a sportier-looking front and rear. You also find black open-pore wood trim inside, along with a distinct and unique climate control system. This climate control includes a Plasmacluster air purifier and grape polyphenol filter. This is an advanced climate control that filters out most pollutants and allergens to keep your cabin air clean. This trim has an upgrade to 19-inch alloy wheels. It includes a navigation system, Sirius XM compatibility, and a Sirius XM traffic and travel link. The navigation system gives you a 3D view of the surrounding streets and buildings. This trim level brings the driver additional technology, which includes an around-view monitor with moving object detection. Additional safety features that you also find intelligent cruise control and intelligent distance control. Also, in this trim level, you find ambient lighting. This type of lighting provides subtle white lighting in the cabin and lights up the footwells.

Finally, the Red Sport 400 trim offers an upgraded 400 horsepower twin-turbo V6 engine. It also has a seven-speed automatic transmission. This trim has exclusive paddle shifters that you will not find on any other trim level. This trim level tends to be a fan favorite even though it starts around $57,575. In addition to the upgraded engine, the brakes are upgraded to four-piston front and two-piston rear calipers. These sport brakes allow you to stop faster and with more power. You will also find the dynamic digital suspension with this trim. On this trim level, you will find dark chrome inside the vehicle. An additional luxury upgrade is the quilted semi-aniline leather-appointed seating. The 19-inch wheels that come with this upgraded trim have much wider tires and wider rims in the back. These tires allow you a better grip through acceleration and give you power in the corners.
