Infiniti
The Infiniti Q50 is one of 39 Infiniti models in the MotorJury library, the catalogue that sets out to hold every car ever made — production, prototype and concept alike. The record places its introduction in 2013. The photography on this page is hotlinked from Wikimedia Commons under an open licence, with the photographer credited on every frame.
To read the Infiniti Q50 properly it helps to place it in its decade. The 2010s were the decade electrification stopped being a science project — Tesla forced the incumbents' hand, downsized turbo engines replaced displacement, and the crossover conquered every market. Any car launched into that world was shaped by it — by what materials, engineering and regulation allowed, and by what buyers of the day demanded. Its direct contemporaries in this catalogue, introduced within three years of it, include the Peugeot Peugeot 208, the Tesla Tesla Model X, the Mazda Mazda CX-5 — the cars a buyer of the period would actually have cross-shopped.
On paper, the Infiniti Q50 reads like this: the record lists its engine as Petrol engine / Gasoline: / 2.0 L Mercedes-Benz M270/M274 engine / Mercedes-Benz M274 DE20 LA Straight-four engine / I4 / 3.0 L Nissan VR engine#VR30DDTT / VR30DDTT twin-; kerb weight is recorded at 1690-1815 kg; drive goes through 6-speed Manual transmission / manual (diesel) / 7-speed Jatco 7R01 transmission / 7R01 Automatic transmission / automatic / 7-speed 7G-Tronic automatic; the layout is Front mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive / all-wheel-drive. Every figure above is a manufacturer specification carried by the Wikipedia infobox or the open Wikidata record for this model — nothing on this page is estimated, and where a source is silent the row simply does not appear.
Within Infiniti's own catalogue the Infiniti Q50 sits alongside the Infiniti Emerg-e, the Infiniti Etherea, the Infiniti G coupe, the Infiniti G20. The record names the Infiniti G as its predecessor, anchoring one end of its lineage. Design is credited to Joel Baek, Hirohisa Ono and Koichi Ishizuka. Assembly is recorded at Japan: Kaminokawa, Tochigi / China: Xiangyang, Hubei (Q50L).
For the years the United States federal record covers, EPA-rated economy comes in at 26 mpg combined, which works out near $3,300 a year in fuel at current prices.
This library is generated, verified and rebuilt from the open record on every deploy. The catalogue skeleton comes from Wikidata, specifications from Wikipedia's infoboxes under CC BY-SA, photography from Wikimedia Commons under each file's own licence, and the ownership data from United States federal safety records. Nothing is written by hand and nothing is invented: every fact on this page traces to a public source, and every page is rebuilt nightly as those sources improve. Errors in the source record will appear here too — and disappear the night the source is corrected.
What this page cannot yet tell you is what the Infiniti Q50 costs to live with — that is a different dataset. MotorJury's ownership verdicts are computed from federal complaint and recall records plus EPA economy data, published per model year as the nightly ingest reaches each car. If this model was sold in the United States, its years will surface in the ownership database; browse it live or price any car yourself with the true-cost calculator.
Specifications come from the Wikipedia infobox for this model (CC BY-SA) and the open Wikidata record, and are shown only where a source actually carries them — nothing here is estimated. Figures are manufacturer specifications, not measured results.
