sidharth khanchandani Thanks ;) And what do you think about the car?

I had to stop the video at the five minute mark. I just couldn't take the constant negativity. Man, there has got to be some redeeming value to this vehicle in your eyes. I've watched plenty of other videos and, though there were negative points, the car got overall great marks. By the four minute mark I started playing a game of trying to guess what would be your next negative comment. It actually got ridiculous. Go check out Alex on Autos as he reviews this very same vehicle and take notes.

In some cases I compare specs against the competition, and it is, what it is. You really must be looking for the negatives to say that, so let me point stuff out to you: - big boot - long wheelbase - interesting infotainment system (albeit not perfect) - sporty steering feel - comfortable seats (minus the headrests) - decent visibility - good soundproofing - safety systems - ... and watch the last 6 minutes or so.

Hi is every 2015 Infinity Q50 2.0T Premium a turbo car

I like the new tech features and Infiniti has a good track record for reliable tech, that being said, the G is a far better driver's car and has aged very well. Nasser left for Cadillac because he didn't like the focus on tech rather than driving experience. Hopefully the next gen cars will go back to the old strategy

Hello Marek, I currently drive the CLA250 (same engine as 2.0t?) and absolutely hate the transmission but enjoy the power of the engine. Does this Infiniti have a better balance of engine and transmission?

+curseknight5 The Q50 2.0t is like the pre-facelift CLA 250. As part of the recent facelift MB has reprogrammed the gearbox, and it feels a lot more responsive.

Alexander Lvov Different design concepts. I think Infiniti claims it has something to do with their F1 experience. But then I've seen racing drivers coping very well with BMW-style paddle shifters, or even sticking to the gear stick (also in automatics).

Im glad the turbo is coming to US next soon. I wonder will it have an AWD or/& hybrid option as well

@MarekDrives

+thabg007 Hybrid comes only with the bigger petrol engine, and AWD is available with hybrid. As far as 2.0t and AWD is concerned, it's a Mercedes drivetrain. Mercedes does have a C200 4MATIC, but that's a lower power output. Maybe with 211 hp it's too expensive.

thanks Marek. it may be a good, if not one of the best lane keeping systems, but it didn't look a very trustworthy or relaxing experience :D (i do realize it's not designed to be autonomous)

@MarekDrives

8 жыл бұрын

This is Premium Tech (Tech was added recently, and allows to include as option Adaptive Steering + active lane assist)

Just in case you find it interesting. A diesel model has never been offered here in the States. The 4 cylinder just came out this year - and everyone believes the engine is garbage. I own a '18 Q50S, been pretty happy with it aside from the navigation, which I'll be swapping out for one of those Tesla style screens. I am not sure about all the complaints regarding the transmission, it seems just as fast as the Audi I owned prior to it, and it's clear that you should wait for it to be completely warm to beat on it. Your video was nice, good cinematography, audio, and I appreciate the English version.

Thanks. When Infiniti first came to Europe, they said European spec cars would be different from the US spec cars in terms of suspension and steering setup, gearbox, brakes, etc. to better meet European customers' requirements and suit European roads (generally there are more corners, and changing of speed, while in the US you tend to drive straight on long distances). This could go the other way too, and the Audi you drove could be different from the Euro spec car. I'm not saying it definitely was, but it could have been.

I hope Nissan brings back the silva with a 230 hp 7300 rpm QR25VHR rwd engine and implements that same high revving NA 4 banger in the q50.

I've had one for a month as a loan car (2018) funny thing is I didn't know it had a turbo till I seen this so it must be a mild one. Couple of things- engine cuts off every single time you stop and it's damn annoying and what for? economy? I'm getting 10.4lts/100km WTF I got this from my Aussie built xr6 ford falcon 4.0 litre inline 6 (better car BTW) luxo car though but just so sterile!

@MarekDrives

It's called stop&start, and it's supposed to help you achieve up to 10 percent better fuel economy around town. If implemented properly, it should be relatively unobtrusive. It is possible to turn it off temporarily. Stop&start appears basically is all new cars now. I recently drove a McLaren, which had it as well.

I have to say that this review is deliberately and totally meant to turn people away from this vehicle. I have look at reviews from top companies like motor trend, road fly, car advice, Kelly blue book, motor week and many more prominent car review companies, and this vehicle has a rating of 8 over 10. It looks like you have been paid or some form of pressure has been applied, hence forth this mediocre review.
