Buying Tips for the Infiniti Q50

  • On cars equipped with Direct Adaptive Steering (DAS), ensure the steering feels consistent. Some early cars felt very artificial or suffered from "centering" issues.
  • The Hybrid model is very fast but its 12V auxiliary battery is prone to drain if the car isn't used regularly.
  • Check the lower screen of the InTouch system for responsiveness and any "delamination" or bubbling.
