The Japanese automaker Infiniti rarely produces sedan models. A pleasant exception to the rule was the 2018 Infiniti Q50, which, although not entirely typical for the company, is equipped and packaged in its best traditions. The presentation of the car took place recently at the Geneva Auto Forum, after which the stylish, sporty and superbly equipped car will begin to conquer the world.

Looking carefully new body, it’s easy to notice that it looks thinner and elongated. This is especially noticeable if you look at the front of the car - the breath of restyling is felt especially clearly here.

The new hood is lower and has a stronger slope to the ground. Its relief is clearly visible on the sidewalls of the element, which are significantly higher than the central part. Directly below them, the 2018 Infinity Q50 has stylish elongated optics that combine smooth curves and sharp corners. The radiator grille located between them has also changed; it has a large mesh frame with a chrome frame.

The lower part of the bumper looks powerful and muscular. In its extensions you can see the air supply system to the engine and brakes. There are several elements located near the air intakes additional light– a line of LEDs that complement the low beam headlights, as well as a pair of round foglights. A sports body kit completes the look.

In the photo of the car in profile it is easy to see the features inherent in the top class. Here, the new model is completely devoid of relief; only the extended arches and the skirt in the lower part of the body visually make it voluminous. It is worth noting the design of the glass: a chrome outline has appeared around them, and elegant pseudo-pillars in the middle. The mirrors became a little smaller, changed shape, and received new functions.

The back of the car has simply huge optics, a raised end of the lid luggage compartment, as well as large stylish exhaust pipes located at two edges of the bumper.

Interior

Salon of the new Infiniti Q50 2018 model year in terms of quality and luxury, it is absolutely identical to what we see in other models of the premium brand. The new car features the best finishing materials - only leather, Alcantara and metal inserts, which significantly improve the comfort of movement.

Controls

The overall concept of the tidy is made in a T-shaped style. Its center is crowned with two monitors: for the navigation system and, larger, for everything else. Just below are buttons, levers and washers for setting the main parameters of the machine. The panel ends with a rather convenient recess for storing gadgets, even quite large ones.

The central tunnel turned out to be very slender, but at the same time retained its functionality. Its front part is crowned with a gear shift lever, then there is a handbrake, a round suspension mode switch, as well as two cup holders.

Everything ends with a modest armrest, under which there is an additional glove box.

The steering wheel looks quite unusual: each of its three spokes is very wide and, while 100% solid, contains many buttons and joysticks for working with various systems car. On dashboard you can find the “wells” of the tachometer and speedometer, which have a stylish light blue backlight, and between them there is a large on-board computer that allows you to read a lot of information useful for the driver.

Seats and luggage compartment

The seats are made almost perfectly: only leather trim, and the front row has good lateral support, is heated and optionally has a ventilation function. But on the second row no more than two people can sit comfortably. However, if necessary, three will fit.

The trunk of the Ku 50 is quite spacious: more than 410 liters free space plus the convenient shape of the recess for placing cargo contributes to the recognition of the machine in question as one of the most convenient for transporting luggage.

Specifications

The upgraded 2018 Infiniti Q50 will receive whole line improved engines. The simplest - a 2.2-liter diesel engine will provide the owner with 168 “horses”. The gasoline engine has a volume of 2 liters and produces 211 horsepower, and the sports modification of this engine has 3 liters, from which you can get 415 hp. It is worth noting hybrid option, Where Gas engine and the electric motor produce a total of 305 horsepower.

To work with a diesel engine, either a six-gear manual transmission or a seven-gear “robot” is provided. Drive selection is not provided: only for rear wheels. But in the case of a gasoline power plant, you cannot choose a gearbox - only an automatic, but it is assumed to have both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive.

The characteristics of the suspension and steering have also changed slightly: experts believe that they have become more suitable for Russian roads.

Options and prices

Differences between minimum and top-end configuration quite small. The price of a car primarily depends on the engine. In this case, the buyer can in any case count on climate control for the front seat area, six airbags, hill climb assistants, heated windshield, steering wheel and seats, power windows for all windows, cameras all around, cruise control and good navigation system. The minimum cost of the car will be 1.64 million rubles.

The top configuration involves installing more powerful engine, panoramic roof, seat ventilation, as well as cruise control with adaptation function. The coolest version will not exceed the cost of 3 million rubles.

Start of sales in Russia

You shouldn't expect the car to appear in the near future. Official date release in Russia is scheduled for the second month of spring 2018. However, registration for a test drive and pre-ordering a car will be available any day now.

Competing models

The Q50's main competitors are cars German troika, such as , and . Perhaps some of the Japanese and Korean manufacturers will be able to compete for the market.

Alas, serial crossover There was no time to prepare the second-generation Infiniti QX50 for the Geneva Motor Show, so the main premiere was the updated sedan. A year ago, this model underwent technical modernization, and now it’s time for cosmetic changes. Of which, however, there are not so many.

From a distance, the updated “fifty” can easily be confused with the pre-reform version: the bumpers have changed slightly, the radiator grille has a slightly different shape, and at the stern there are new lights with L-shaped side lights. In addition, the S version is now more different from the base one: it has a more aggressive bumper design with larger air intakes.

I looked for changes in the interior by comparing it with the photo previous model: there is a different steering wheel and automatic selector, additional stitching has appeared on the front panel. The company also claims that it has improved the quality of finishing materials. And yet it will not be enough. The Geneva public also decided so, and immediately after the press conference the Infiniti stand was half empty.

But the main update is hidden from view: the restyled Q50 became the brand’s first model with the ProPilot system, which represents the rudiments of an autopilot. She debuted last year on a minivan for Japanese market: The electronics are capable of controlling the car only on the highway, are activated at speeds over 70 km/h and only allow it to move within one lane. Moreover, integrating ProPilot into the Q50 turned out to be even easier than in the Serena, because the sedan was initially equipped with steering that works “by wire”, without a rigid connection between the steering wheel and the wheels. ProPilot will subsequently appear on all Infiniti vehicles.

The power units are the same, although the top version with a V6 3.0 biturbo engine (400 hp), which we have already seen, appeared in Europe only now, simultaneously with the restyling. Also for different markets turbo-four 2.0 (208 hp), diesel 2.1 (168 hp) and hybrid installation, including an aspirated V6 3.5 and an electric motor (total power - 360 hp).

Sales updated sedans will begin in the second quarter of this year, and the company promises that the cars will appear almost simultaneously in all world markets.

Major changes in appearance Infiniti Q50 modification of 2018, the company’s designers aimed to create even more sporty style car.

Front bumper became more massive and received a pointed design and a wide air intake.

Head LED optics made in a corporate design called “Human Eye”, which translates as the human eye. This shape fits smoothly into the front fenders. Below the headlights themselves are narrow daytime running lights and fog lights.

At the rear, the bumper has also been updated, in which narrowed lights are mounted, connected by a chrome strip, which also added to the swiftness of the car's image. It also looks interesting exhaust pipes and a rear diffuser that comes in a two-tone design. The first shade is the body color, the second framing one is a glossy black metallic stripe at the bottom rear bumper. In the same dark color completed side mirrors aerodynamic shape with built-in turn signal indicators.

Improved sporty design The body of the 2018 Infiniti Q50 gives good aerodynamic qualities, increasing the stability and controllability of the car at high speeds.

Interior

Based on photos provided by the company Infiniti interior Q50 2018 model, we can conclude that the main changes are aimed at improving the already luxurious interior trim. First of all, there is a noticeable increase in the number of parts and elements that have received a leather finish. Now it is even present on the instrument panel and on the gear knob. Decorative elements have been added to the seat upholstery and front panel of the car. In addition, the polished wooden inserts previously used for finishing have been replaced with inserts made of polished aluminum and darkened chrome.
