Used 2021 INFINITI Q50 Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2021 Infiniti Q50 is available in four trim levels: Pure, Luxe, Sensory and Red Sport 400. Most feature a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine (300 hp, 295 lb-ft of torque), while the Red Sport 400 increases output to 400 hp and 350 lb-ft. A seven-speed automatic transmission sends power to the rear wheels. All-wheel drive is offered throughout the lineup.

Besides the typical features expected of most luxury sport sedans, the Q50 Pure trim comes with:

  • Heated mirrors
  • Keyless entry and ignition
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Simulated leather upholstery
  • Six-speaker audio system
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration
  • Two infotainment touchscreens
  • Wi-Fi hotspot
  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)

Stepping up to the Luxe adds some convenience items that include:

  • Sunroof
  • Auto-dimming rearview mirror
  • Navigation system
  • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the Q50 and the car in front)

The Sensory trim ups the performance and luxury quotient with:

  • High-performance summer tires
  • Auto-dimming exterior mirrors
  • Adaptive dampers
  • Upgraded brakes
  • Paddle shifters
  • Air purifier
  • Leather upholstery
  • Power tilt-and-telescoping steering column
  • Sport seats with memory functions
  • 16-speaker Bose premium Audio system
  • Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)

The range-topping Red Sport 400 is the highest performer in the lineup with 400 hp. It also adds:

  • Premium leather upholstery
  • Unique exterior and interior styling treatments

Some features are available on supporting trims as options. The Red Sport 400 is eligible for the ProActive package that adds:

  • Adaptive headlights
  • Drive-by-wire steering system
  • Eco Pedal that encourages efficient driving by resisting accelerator pressure
  • Blind-spot monitor (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)
  • Lane keeping assist (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)

Which Q50 trim does Edmunds recommend?

The Q50 in Luxe trim gets our recommendation since it adds a handful of convenience features that make it feel marginally more special than the base Pure trim. In particular, it's worth stepping up to this model for the included adaptive cruise control.
