Suspension is soft, and cornering is a breeze. Braking distance is shorter than average for this vehicle class. The 2019 INFINITI Q50 can be purchased with either a four-cylinder or V6 engine. The former produces a total of 208 horsepower, and the V6 is rated at 300 horsepower. Buyers who choose the Red Sport 400 version get a more powerful V6 rated at 400 horsepower. Rear-wheel drive is standard on the Q50, and the standard transmission is seven-speed automatic. The Q50 is available with Direct Adaptive Steering via the ProActive package. Acceleration is superb, and there’s very little turbo lag.
