Q50 after 1 year

2018 INFINITI Q50 2.0t LUXE 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 7A)
The bumper color on my new 2018, Liquid Platinum, Q50 is noticeably different then the rest of the vehicle. Make certain to look at the car in sunlight or at night under the lights before making your decision. This issue definitely is the reason for for my review. I have pictures if required.
FYI, the salesman said that Premium fuel is suggested but you can use regular but the owners … manual says that Premium fueling iS REQUIRED. And regular can be used only in an emergency.
Edmunds Summary Review of the 2018 INFINITI Q50 2.0t LUXE Sedan
Pros & Cons
- Pro:Turbocharged V6 engines pack plenty of power and excitement
- Pro:Many high-tech entertainment and safety features come standard
- Pro:For a small luxury sedan, offers a pretty roomy trunk
- Con:Infotainment system isn't as user-friendly as many others

Which Q50 does Edmunds recommend?
The 2018 Infiniti Q50 with the 3.0t engine delivers strong performance and comes with a lot of standard features at a reasonable price. Choosing between the Luxe or Sport trim depends on your driving style and appetite for nicer features (although many Sport features are available as options). If nothing else, the Luxe gives you a little more flexibility with options that aren't exorbitantly priced, but do come bundled in large packages.
Full Edmunds Review: 2018 INFINITI Q50 Sedan
Driving
The Q50 is a highly competent luxury sedan that's enjoyable to drive. It drives like a smaller, sportier car. The Q50 Sport trim demonstrates its true capability thanks to additional grip, while the Red Sport 400 is nothing short of a refined road hooligan.
Comfort
The Q50 is comfortable and generally quiet, though road noise is still noticeable. The 2018 Red Sport 400 is a superbly comfortable touring car with excellent seats.
Interior
The Q50's cabin makes use of high-quality materials and sturdy construction, but the design hasn't changed much in nearly a decade. Conventional controls are within easy reach, but the touchscreen has some drawbacks. Still, it remains a pleasant and spacious place for driver or passenger.
Utility
The Q50's cargo capacity is decent for the class, but interior storage for your personal items is somewhat lacking by contemporary standards. The trunk space is adequate, though the wide opening makes for easier loading.
Technology
It takes a little time to get used to the dual touchscreens, but most users will find the menus intuitive. Reactions to inputs are quick, and updates to the Infiniti InTouch system have kept it relevant.
