2023 Infiniti Q50 AWD Night Drive (POV Impressions)

[@latino914]

Still looks better than most modern luxury cars out there.

[@Yoomaro]

FACTS

[@Runbow]

Q50 aged very well

[@supercyan4869]

Q50's exterior definitely still holds up, it's just that outdated interior that needs a real refresh. A shame a car that looks so good simply just isn't that appealing of a buy when you look at it's competition

[@williammarroquin9343]

I totally agree with you I wish they do a total refresh on the interior is not worth the price as it it look at the display speedometer is not an even fully digital also the shift gear is much better on the qx50 also it does not have a panoramic moonroof he’ll na I love the exterior but the interior tho nop that why I didn’t get it 🥹😞🥺 coz comparing with competency Infiniti interior gets behind 😢

[@nakitaknight957]

Can’t beat good design, interior needs new technology, that’s all

[@sueddo2634]

Love seeing these cars tailgating me on the highway in the right most lane.

[@mrgurulittle7000]

I'm seriously saving money for that piece of luxury. That glowing emblem is a whole nother level from the German brands. I'm wondering why more lawyers and doctors don't buy Infiniti.

[@sshhddoo9892]

Because Porsche exists 😂

[@mrgurulittle7000]

Lol!

[@Swaangin]

Lexus > Infiniti

[@odnamorvr3053]

@@Swaangin In terms of reliability yes, but Infiniti is better in every other ways.

Really loving the night reviews keep it up!

[@KirkKreifels]

Thanks, will do!

[@user-mc2kk8yf5z]

@@KirkKreifels is possible to put rear taillights on pre 2017 models? and the emblem glow on grill etc?

[@jonesa9616]

The bat emblem in the grill illuminated not bad.

[@fgeiger41]

That's a timeless design. I love my S Hybrid... which has stop, start. Lol. The 2 screen system with always on GPS is great. If they were still importing them I would've traded up to a newer one. 4 cyl economy with V8 power. Enable the GPS tracking on the transmission and it'll slingshot you out of corners when you're in sport mode

[@chrisr4338]

First mod, non-run flat tires

[@naveenthemachine]

Where would the spare tire go? Because you’d need that if you don’t want run flats

[@JazekFTW]

why? How about getting stranded?

[@paulpierce21]

@@JazekFTW AAA, unless you live in the middle of nowhere?

[@kevinaraizasuarez5196]

Im so sad this was discontinued on mexico, will have to buy a 2018 or later to get access to 1

[@ryannylander1819]

Lightning definitely nice on these… but I agree, really need to give the steering more feeling and be less sensitive and light. Like you said, the susp dampening for a lux car is pretty meager and should offer a bit more plushness or have the ability to go between sporty and plush. The infotainment yeah is lackluster and odd but not a showstopper…. Rear interior layout seems kind of lame and should be redesigned. I hear the 300hp versions offer more tuneability as well. The q50 is definitely a used car bargain if you can put up with some of those negatives.

[@Sweetintent30]

It’s a very sexy car that’s why the design is still the same I feel.

[@10jmsoccer]

My old Nissan Altima coupe never tracked straight either. Thought it was just because it was a Nissan haha

[@TheLaw_11]

Kirk, can you review the 2023 Q50 Black Opal edition?

[@ezrawinslow]

Can you do a video on the upcoming enhancements for the 2024 TLX?

[@KirkKreifels]

When I have Concrete info

[@ezrawinslow]

@@KirkKreifels Thanks

[@ameraboukoura6091]

Kirk, do you prefer the usdm Infiniti Q50 or the JDM Nissan skyline with the gtr inspired face and circle taillights?

[@KirkKreifels]

Probably skyline since I can't have one lol

[@HungLe-oc8eh]

Good review Kirk , it’s very helpful. I definitely will have a test drive between this car and the TLX type S

[@Yoomaro]

TLX type s is better

[@KirkKreifels]

Type S is superior. But if you can get the Q50 for $10k less, it's a good choice

[@HungLe-oc8eh]

I will take your advice

[@LeoTheShortGuy]

Nice

[@lionjklwlf]

I have 2021 red sport. Pretty much all of these minus ambient inside door lightening. You showed the cameras but you didn’t show the front camera. Also I changed the emblem and added one that can change to different colors. Though this car is long in the tooth I would buy it agin for the price, quality, looks, and power.

[@malo908]

Thank you for the review Sir!!

[@OnkelPHMagee]

I think that you're enjoying these nighttime outings even more than we are. 😃

[@Sam-mw5hx]

Seems like you’re liking it more, would you get this over an is200t?

[@KirkKreifels]

Yes. This is better than is 200t. More reliable? Doubtful

[@syxepop]

Kirk, if you feel that the Q50 "doesn't have that luxurious feel a sedan in this price range should have" is because this sedan shouldn't be sold as an Infiniti, but as the Nissan Maxima (instead of the FWD w/CVT we got) at a slightly lower price range. This was for years the true Nissan Skyline in JDM, for crying out loud! Besides, the Stagea (the JDM Skyline wagon) should've been raised as a RWD crossover instead of the Infiniti EX / OG QX50) as the Nissan Maxima Touring. 🐟out of 💧indeed...

[@japantour9136]

Wonderful video my friend ＋👍🔔

[@mrgurulittle7000]

I like your profile JAPAN TOUR!

[@will.davlin]

They should give it a liftback and 8 inch ground clearance

[@johngriffith7315]

Can you dim or totally turn off the two center screens? They always annoyed me on older q50’s

[@paulpierce21]

Hold the home button for a few seconds near the CD player

[@AlexIsUber]

Crazy how long long it takes nissan to update their sedans

[@CforClairvoyant]

There better never be a start/stop button lol

[@jaits7]

that fuel econ middle screen on the dash is the same as my 2015 Nissan rogue lol

[@williammarroquin9343]

It is a great car it has an aggressive external look I just don’t like the interior nothing have change for a $50k is not worth the price I wish it could have panoramic moonroof also a digital display for the speedometer also the shift gear is much better on the newest models of qx50

[@TearBlood]

nissan imo should ditch infiniti and just have nissan go the mazda route and be more premium. alot of their newer cars in nissan are more up to date and some trims are more premium than infiniti

[@alengreen589]

I like the car 😀

[@alengreen589]

Is that right that Mr. Toyoda resign?

[@codymcnary3607]

Start-Stop would delay acceleration!

[@naveenthemachine]

The q50 has less features than a top end Camry v6😂. No hud no pano roof the gauge cluster lcd is tiny and I’m not seeing any ambient lighting in the q50

[@chiemekaa]

Have you heard the door close on a Camry?

[@naveenthemachine]

@@chiemekaa it’s relatively solid for what it is Sure the Infiniti is more solid but it’s more expensive and has less space and features

[@chiemekaa]

@@naveenthemachine True, but every other entry sports/luxury sedan has less space and features than the Camry BEFORE you start adding options and packages. But even within its non-luxury class, the Camry at least on the inside looks and feels the cheapest compared to other popular entries like the Accord, K5, and Sonata.

[@naveenthemachine]

@@chiemekaa the Camry in low end trims is terrible but once you get the XLE XSE the interior is decently luxurious.

[@anthonyfields3856]

There’s ambient lighting you can’t see it with his camera setup the Camry gage cluster is honestly outdated and the screen layout looks cheap s the q50 definitely has higher quality materials I detail cars and I’ve been in Camrys old and new and I have a q50 redsport it definitely feels more expensive
