2024 INFINITI Q50 RED SPORT 400

The Q50 is Infiniti's last sedan stand. The company has no other passenger cars since the Q60 — essentially the two-door version of the Q50 — was discontinued after the 2022 model year; SUVs make up the rest of the lineup. And while most competitors have had one, or even two, fresh looks since the most recent Q50 launched 10 years ago, today's Q50 is largely the same car as when it debuted. The exterior design has aged well but everything else is showing its age, especially the interior.

That's not about to change for 2024, as this is a complete carryover from last year's model. Infiniti appears to have lost interest in the Q50, or at least until it's potentially redesigned or just put out to pasture completely. We wouldn't be surprised to see the ax fall for 2025.

In the meantime, the Q50's strength remains its potent turbocharged V6 engine. The base version makes 300 horsepower, which is more than what most other base versions of entry-level luxury sedans provide. Infiniti also offers the Red Sport 400 version with, you guessed it, 400 hp. While the rest of the Q50 has grown a bit dull, the thrill of stepping on its accelerator hasn't faded.

Most other luxury sedans provide a more up-to-date driving experience. The Mercedes-Benz C-Class was completely redesigned in 2022 and is superior in almost every way. The Acura TLX, Audi A4 and Lexus IS also have more appealing technology features. If you're open to an SUV, Infiniti's own QX50 is more modern and has a lower starting price.
