The 2015 Infiniti Q50 Hybrid has great fuel economy and user-friendly
tech features, but its performance suffers from lifeless steering and
touchy brakes, according to critics.
The Q50 Hybrid is powered by a V6 engine and an electric motor, and
test drivers agree that they deliver strong acceleration, though several
think the power delivery is a little uneven. A seven-speed automatic
transmission and rear-wheel drive are standard, and all-wheel drive is
optional. The 2015 Infiniti Q50 Hybrid gets an EPA-estimated 29/36 mpg
city/highway, which is good for a six-cylinder midsize hybrid. Though
critics write that the Q50 Hybrid has a composed ride, they don't think
it's very engaging to drive. Auto writers say the Infiniti Q50 Hybrid's
standard adjustable steering system, which allows you to customize
steering effort, provides almost no feedback and is poorly weighted.
They also note that the Q50 Hybrid's regenerative brakes make it hard to
stop the car smoothly.
Most auto writers are impressed with the 2015 Infiniti Q50 Hybrid's
sleek interior styling and upscale materials. According to some test
drivers, the Q50 Hybrid's standard front seats lack sufficient thigh
support for taller people, but its available sport seats are more
supportive. Critics think the rear seat has plenty of head- and legroom
for all but the tallest occupants. Like many hybrids, the Q50 Hybrid has
a small trunk for its class. Standard features in the 2015 Infiniti Q50
Hybrid include leather upholstery, heated front seats, a moonroof, a
rearview camera and Infiniti's InTouch infotainment system, which
includes two touch screens, Bluetooth, two USB ports, satellite radio
and a 14-speaker Bose audio system. Available features include
navigation, a surround-view camera system, front and rear parking
sensors, active lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring, rear cross
traffic alert, adaptive cruise control and forward collision warning
with automatic braking. Automotive journalists appreciate the fact that
there are buttons and knobs for common climate and audio controls if
you'd rather not use the touch screen.
