The Infiniti Q50 sedan continues for 2023 without the support of its coupe brother, Q60. There are only three small changes in the implementation, one is the addition Infiniti Senior care. Extended to any Infiniti sold or lease In the US, Premium Care is a routine maintenance program for items like oil and filters change, tires rotation and inspection for up to three years. The second change is the higher price, the Q50 starts at $43,725 including destination fees of $1,075, up $610 from 2022. MSRP for three versions next year and the difference from 2022 to be:
- Q50 Luxe: $43,725 ($610)
- Q50 Sensory: $49.425 ($400)
- Q50 Red Sport 400: $57,575 ($600)
The final change is the availability of the Saddle Brown interior, which is used to request an upgrade to the Sensory. Rear-wheel drive is the standard layout, with all-wheel drive available as an option for any trim for $2,000. The twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 stays steady at 300 hp and 295 pound-feet of torque for the Luxe and Sensory, or 400 hp and 350 lb-ft for the Red Sport 400, going through the box. seven-speed automatic regardless of output.
Maybe more people want to know where the Q50 is going than they want to buy car. The brand sold 8,482 units of the Q50 in the first half of 2021, but only 3,717 units in the first half of this year. The peak was in 2016 when 44,007 units were sold that year, two years after the sedan went on sale, and the 2023-oriented model has been around for 10 years. The brand talked about a potential new electrified platform for sedans in 2018, but until 2021 Nikkei Asia report holding company Nissan will end the development of all sedans in Japan except Horizon.
The Q50 looks like it’s doing rounds in the product flaw, knowing there’s no point in improving the current generation or developing a new one. But the car being sold only depreciates in value; Unlike most of the rest of the market, there’s a real amount of money to save on a one or two year old Q50. Perhaps when the electric revolution has some power behind it in 2027 or 2028, we could see the return of this year’s hot Infiniti sedans.
