The Infiniti Q50 is a replacement for the old G37 – a car that barely sold in the UK because of its high price and thirsty engines. But the Q50 is a lot more UK-friendly, featuring a four-cylinder diesel and petrol engine borrowed from Mercedes and a 359bhp flagship Hybrid model, too.
It has to compete in a segment with excellent cars like the BMW 3 Series and the Audi A4, but its hi-tech approach and refined, comfortable drive should ensure the Q50 finds a certain amount of niche success.
