2018 Infiniti Q50 Red Sport AWD - Redline: Review

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

With handsome styling, powerful turbo engines, and tempting lease deals, the refreshed 2018 Infiniti Q50 certainly has a lot to offer buyers looking for a compact, entry-level sport sedan. Go for the RS 400 model and you'll be treated to a truly potent 400 horsepower 3.0L twin-turbo V6. Too bad the interior tech reminds you too much of a Nissan and the sluggish 7AT lags behind the excellent 8,9, 10, and DCT transmissions in competing vehicles.

    i drove this exact model for three years, and it’s one of my favorite cars. it is considered a luxury car, but most consumers are buying this car for its sports elements. the paddle shifters are very nice and one of my favorite elements, and the 360 camera view was super helpful in any situation (i believe it only can turn on below 5 mph). the dual screen, despite it being slightly outdated, i never had issues with it and it always paired perfectly with my phone and even loaded the album covers which was a nice touch compared to your average car. the twin turbos were one hundred percent my favorite part of the car, i could be in any tricky situation and get out of it easily. the turn radius of the car wasn’t amazing, but i never had any issues with it either. if you know what you’re doing (u turns, regular turns) it is honestly just fine. the steering wheels pressure and feel while driving was honestly really nice too, and it made me feel like i was in control of the car. however those seats are so fucking cool and i love the red stitching. everything about this car was very sports like, and honestly it’s not an ugly car at all. i’ve had a few infiniti’s in my life, and it definitely is way faster and nice compared to my previous ones. don’t bash this car, honestly it’s super fun to drive and is super comfortable to ride in too. the only thing i’d like to see is that hybrid element between gas and electric, like a previous infiniti i drive was (i can’t remember the model name at the moment). definitely worth it though, even in 2021 the 2018 model is still awesome. the red sport version is 100% worth the money.

    Also my older Infiniti had very few maintenance issues unlike my current 2013 X1 with the 3 l turbo that goes real nice back and forth to the shop. Really doubt if Mercedes or Audi would be any less expensive to own. Also I think the interior materials fit and finish of this car are great, and the info screen is light years ahead of bmw for ease of use. Love the optional emergency braking system that I hear Infiniti invented. Really comfortable ride and awesome power. You have to spend a lot to get a 3 liter turbo in a car these days as everyone is going to 4 cylinders boring.

    madPaulX - wrong, Renault is a large shareholder, but Nissan still holds majority and they own 20% of Renault. Nissan has ZERO Renault parts in their autos. The Q50 shown here has the same VQ series engine Nissan has been perfecting since the early 2000s and the same 7 speed automatic transmission from the mid 2000s G series; both of which are absolutely bulletproof. Nissan and Infiniti are extremely reliable, minus the low tier models such as the Sentra and previous gen Altimas. Infiniti compete by offering a near European car experience, minus the reliability issues, at a much lower cost than their Euro counterparts. They achieve this primarily by integrating many “outdated”, but dependable components, keeping manufacturing costs down.

    2017 Q50 Red Sport's also have red brakes, so its not new for 2018. One thing that I may have missed in this video, but the redsport comes stock with Bose audio. Lastly, you said it doesn't have adaptive suspension, but it does. "Dynamic Digital Suspension allows for three drive modes and individual suspension tuning between Comfort and Sport. It offers a comfortable(ish) ride on the road and a firmer, more responsive chassis out on the handling course." Good review tho, great channel

    I find it kind of weird that none of these popular car reviewers mention that the Q50 RS is seriously underrated from the factory. It doesn't have 400hp. It has ~375whp and ~350wtq, which means the bhp is roughly 15-18% higher than 375, which is about ~430-450bhp. The Silver Sport is closer to 400bhp than the Red Sport is.

    I have the Silver sport 3.0t (300HP). Its not as fast as the Red sport, but when in Sport+ mode its still a rocket. The lease I received was unbelievable. O down No fees with a very affordable monthly payment for 3 years (much love to Infinity of Orland Park). Your right about that options gap Nissan/Infinity put in place when comparing package options between The Maxima and the Q50 Red sport. I had a 2016 Maxima SR. You couldn't get a sun roof in that version, but for $38,000 you could get all the safety features as well as cooling seats. The downside was the CVT. Which wasn't that bad, but felt odd at times, being that the MAX has 300HP, front wheel drive, as well as the front wheels being responsible for turning. I have a feeling that the 2019 Q50 will shorten the gap (if not surpass) with its competitors when gets its redesign. The 2019 QX50 looks like a mini QX80, and is sporting a new VC Turbo engine. Sadly the only transmission available is CVT. Which means its possibly going to be a front wheel drive with available (AWD).

    Great review. The bias is tough though... The competitors that you mention are WAY down on power. C43 = 362 hp / 340i = 320 hp. Infiniti needs to further differentiate from Nissan, that's for sure, but the Q50 is an insane vehicle in it's segment. They should get an 8sp transmission from it's partner MB that will elevate performance. Many of the gripes can be fixed at the dealer. DAS no problem... don't get it. Run Flats? No charge performance tire package. It's a nice car with great looks with imperfections. Like most cars on the road.
