Q50 Hybrid, One of the Most Fuel-Efficient Luxury Cars | Infiniti of Ardmore

Since its debut, the Infiniti Q50 premium sport sedan has regularly been recognized for its exhilarating performance and excellent fuel economy. With its estimated EPA rating of 29/36 MPG city/highway, the Q50 Hybrid was recently named one of Kelley Blue Book’s KBB.com 10 Most Fuel-Efficient Luxury Cars of 2014. Producing 360 horsepower, it also happens to be the most powerful hybrid on that list.

Additional honors

The Q50 earned a Top Safety Pick+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) when equipped with Forward Emergency Braking, and a 5-Star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) . Furthermore, Edmunds.com presented the 2014 Q50 with its Top Rated Vehicle award, and a jury of international automotive journalists nominated it as a contender for the 2014 World Car of The Year.

Owners Join in on the Celebration of Q50’s Top Features 

 In addition to recent recognition from the automotive industry, Q50 owners have taken to social media and online forums to share what they like best about their vehicle—most notably its styling, handling, and hybrid torque.

Styling

The Q50’s design cues exhibit an aggressive athleticism that hint at its impressive performance. Owners love the styling for many reasons, including unique headlights and markers, and the integration of Infiniti’s characteristic crescent cut c-pillars.

Handling

Balancing power and refinement has always been a challenge for the premium sport sedan segment. While performance-minded consumers want nimble handling and responsive steering, luxury-minded buyers look for a car with a more polished, relaxed ride. Infiniti took both these types of drivers into account when it developed the world’s first steer-by-wire system. Direct Adaptive Steering (DAS) filters out excessive road vibrations, and lets drivers select from three steering modes for unprecedented handling customizability. Satisfied owners report that the Q50 is just as comfortable hugging the corners of a twisted country road as it is cruising on the highway, or running errands around town.

Hybrid Torque

Not only is the Q50 one of the most fuel-efficient luxury cars of 2014, it also delivers outstanding acceleration. Building upon the already powerful 328-horsepower standard V6, Infiniti’s all-wheel drive hybrid version accelerates from zero to 60 in 5.2 seconds, with the help of more than 250 lb-ft of torque from the gas engine and electric motor.
