Nissan’s premium BMW 3 Series rival never really took off in Australia.
Like Lexus, Infiniti was the upmarket arm of Nissan and, on paper, the Q50 looked good.
Sophisticated technology in a front-engine rear-drive body with the option of a lusty V6 but a strange steer-by-wire system undid many of the good attributes. Infiniti’s calibration was off for Australian buyers and the brand did not survive beyond 2019 locally.
The line-up currently starts at $26,400 for the Q50 2.0T Pure and ranges through to $48,510 for the range-topping Q50 3.0TT RED Sport.
