2017 INFINITI Q50 3.0t Premium 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 7A)
28 of 29 people found this review helpful
This is a great car. I've been an owner for about 2 months and I absolutely love the car. Great acceleration, minimal shift shock and dynamic breaking without the dramatic nose dive. When you start the engine it doesn't sound so luxurious, but levels out after the fluids start mixing. Not a problem, but something that you notice. Not much head room unless you lower the seats and a small trunk that's "about" the same as its competitors. I love the Infiniti InTouch system and the ability to utilize your cell phone for many out of car features. There's power in the pedal. You may want to be a little easy when you use the Sport Mode as it will give you what you asked for. Comes with Run Flat tires and no spare just so you know. Still a great car.

Recently turned in a 2014 Q50 AWD 3.7 v6 premium for a 2017 Q50 AWD premium 3.0 twin turbo. I was worried about the power of the 3.0 vs the 3.7. I loved the 3.7 v6 power and top end speed but this twin turbo 3.0 really surprised me. The power and smoothness is great. No turbo lag and the power is felt even at low rpm's. My 2014 had a very slow info system. It took for ever for the app's and radio to boot up. This 2017 must have a new and much faster processor in it because everything comes on in a couple of seconds. Although the two cars look the same, they drive differently. Smoother ride and power response from the 2017. Infiniti added two more speakers for a total of 16 but I don't notice any difference. The sound was great already in the 2014 model. Only disappointment is that the 2014 came standard with heated seats and steering and now you have to get the navigation package to get them. All in all I'm very happy with this 2017!!

I saw a review from a person that said if you're over 6'0 that this vehicle is not comfortable. I am 6'7 and almost 300lbs..I find it more spacious than most SUVs I have been in. Super comfortable in my opinion

Great car overall. Steering needs a little getting used to. As quoted by Infiniti "A World’s First Technology, INFINITI’s Direct Adaptive Steering® (DAS) removes the mechanical connection between the steering wheel and tires". Fun to drive and the 3.0t engine definitely provides more than enough power.

I have owned a few Infiniti cars and never really had any trouble with them. I was not looking to upgrade at the time, when I drove the Q50 and Q60 at the Drive at the Autobahn Country Club club in Joliet, ILL after that I was looking to buy. I love the way it handles and performance is good. Lots of upgrades in 4 years. Keep up the great work I saw the review of the tall guy up here he must be well over 6 feet tall. I am 5,9 and if i put the seat back and down I can't reach any of the pedals or steering wheel. you will have to drive one for yourself to see if it is a fit for you. But for me it is a great car.

Excelled in the luxury areas I want. Coming off lease or a 2015 BMW 428i x drive, the Infiniti has more comfort, better acceleration, and more safety features. Handling is a little less precise, but better ride on long trips more than makes up for it. Once you get used to the Direct Adaptive Steering it is great and adjustable too.

It looks impressive in specs. Engine is excellent, it makes me doubt that it only has 300HP, feels more potent, perhaps the high torque at low RPMs is a big help. The major issue with this car is that Infiniti completely screwed up steering and to add insult to injury installed awful run flat tires (2.5 starts on TireRack). I changed the tires at 6K miles, first time in my life before tires wore out. The steering does not seem to have a center, the car goes left and right whenever it feels like on the highway, even if the steering wheel is not moving. In-spite of the engine and good interior, not a bad looking exterior, I'm not enjoying driving this car. Will be trading it in when Genesis G70 becomes available. No more Infinities for me.

After putting 40,000miles on it the engine started to go out. Burning lots of coolant. Local Infiniti dealer said it’s a known issue for the 3.0tt along with having a porous block. Dealer wouldn’t warranty the engine since I was 150 miles past my 70,000 warranty. Only had the car for alittle over a year and they quoted me at $13,000 to replace the engine. Not to mention Infiniti doesn’t seem to care for it’s customers as much as other companies. Fun car but not for any true car guy unless you like the gimmicky features, I’ll stick with Audi from now on, can’t beat their customer service!
very good

Picked up a clean 2017 Q50 with 77k miles and the more I drive it the more im impressed with the overall quality. Great road manors with the ride and handling plus the twin turbo 3.0 pulls hard and still deliver decent fuel mileage.

If you live in a snowy climate, be prepared to have the front and back sensors go off the entire time you are driving because the snow builds up on it. When I called to ask about it, I was told I could either turn the sensors off manually, (and lose the safety feature) or keep getting out of my car to wipe them off. That’s not an option as I drive mainly on highways and will not pull off on an interstate highway and risk getting hit. Not acceptable for the cost of this car. I also put in an after market remote starter which will not work as I was told by the dealer, after I put it in, that the heater, etc will reset to automatic and there’s nothing I can do about it. That should have been told to me when I told the dealer I was putting a remote starter in since they said they couldn’t do it after market at the dealership. The other thing I am struggling with is I do not hear my email tones on my phone or thru the car. I’ve called a number of times and the blue tooth department tells me it’s an in touch problem, and in touch says it’s blue tooth department. Meanwhile, I know it works because I’ve heard it a couple times, but it’s not consistent. So frustrating. I’m hoping someone can help as I have 2-1/2 years left on my lease.

I bought my car last March. I was promised free oil changes for a year. When I went in to get my oil change this last weekend they told me I would have to pay. I said i get free oil changes for a year. They said no it is free oil changes for a year or 3 times. The salesman never told me that. Now for the big thing I have 20,000 miles on my car and I already need new tires. I have taken the care in for rotation on every scheduled maintanance period. WTH is up with that. My tires are bald. If I had know that I would have to have tires in 20,000 I would have never bought the car. They told me that everyone has to have them at 20,000 to 25,000 miles. So I have spent the money and bought this luxury car and have to have tires every 20,000 miles. WOW is all I can say. I will never buy another one. I wanted everyone to know that they do not stand behind these cars when it comes to the tires... WOW, WOW WOW. Now to blast on social media and consumer affairs.
