-year war an . e li t- THE Infiniti Q50 rear-wheel drive sports sedan inspires when it comes to driving refinement, ride comfort, safety features as well as handling and performance.
Priced from RM239,800 and imported from Japan, the Q50 also gets a powerful turbocharged all-aluminium 2.0-litre petrol engine that delivers 211hp/350Nm, mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission with Adaptive Shift Control (ASC).
ASC enhances gear-select patterns according to topographical changes in the road, such as hills or corners. Imported from Japan, the Q50 has a generous list of standard equipment.
The Q50 2.0T GT grade includes 17-inch twin five-spoke aluminium-alloy wheels with run-flat tyres, LED headlights with integrated daytime running lights, rear view monitor with front and rear sonar sysof tem, leather-appointed seating with powered front seats and memory function, Intelligent Key (I-Key) with touch unlock access and enhanced memory.
Of course, one can always opt to pay an extra RM36,000 for the higher grade GT Premium, which adds 18-inch split seven-spoke wheels, Direct-Adaptive Steering (DAS) with Active Lane Control, Studio on Wheels by Bose 14-speaker premium audio system with BOSE AudioPilot 2.0 and CenterPoint 2.0, Predictive Forward Collision Warning (PFCW) and Forward Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) and Blind Spot Intervention (BSI), as well as Around View Monitor (AVM) with Moving Object Detection.
DAS is the world’s first steer-by-wire system developed after more than 10 years research, which allows unprecedented driving comfort, safety and steering precision.
Another world-first technology, Active Lane Control uses a camera-based technology to further enhance lane-keeping capability and safety.
Matching the inspired Infiniti Q50 design and performance is an interior created to the same extraordinary standards.
The interior environment offers a powerful blend of three-dimensional textures, highest craftsmanship and premium quality, combining modern luxury and user-focused advanced technology.
The intuitive double touch-screen Infiniti InTouch system controls the audio, climate control, communication and vehicle settings.
The Infiniti Drive Mode Selector allows customisation of engine and transmission mapping as well as steering effort and response, while the Around View Monitor (four camera technology) is a boon when parking in tight spaces.
Finishing the look of the Q50 are seven exterior colours to choose from – Moonlight White, Liquid Platinum, Hagane Blue, Graphite Shadow, Chestnut Bronze, Venetian Ruby and Malbec Black.
All come with Scratch Shield self-healing paint.
