Buying Tips for 2019 Infiniti Q50

  • ✓If the car has "Direct Adaptive Steering" (steer-by-wire), test it extensively; ensure there are no warning lights, as repairs are highly specialized.
  • ✓Check the dual-screen infotainment system, which is known to be laggy and can occasionally freeze or reboot unexpectedly.
  • ✓On the 2.2d (Mercedes-sourced diesel), check for smooth power delivery and ensure the DPF is not blocked from short city trips.
  • ✓Listen for suspension knocking, particularly from the front anti-roll bar drop links.
  • ✓Inspect the interior trim; while luxurious, the leather on the driver's seat bolsters can wear prematurely.
  • ✓Ensure the automatic gearbox shifts smoothly without hesitation, particularly when downshifting under load.
