Great review. Merci beaucoup 😊

I really like how eager the car is to shut the engine off whenever it can, how it fires back up instantly, and the fact that the hybrid maintain's Infiniti's impressive, throaty exhaust note.

RV4U wtf r u babbling about? Infiniti and nissan are not seperate companies, the name infiniti doesnt even exist in most of the world, they are just rebaged nissans. For example the g37 sedan and coupe are called nissan 370gt in most of the world literally the only country that has it named infiniti is the US because japanese people understand that privelaged americans car so much about how they appear to others that nissan would simply not be competitive enough against bmw audi mercedes and lexus because of brand recognition

@@E46325mod sorry to burst your bubble but infiniti is in fact a separate company under nissan's management. Just like Lexus is under Toyota, Acura under Honda, Genesis, Maybach etc. They're all the same function, provide a more luxorious, sportier and expensive car equivalent to the main brand. You just sound like an infiniti hater which is fine, but at least get your facts straight.

The steering looks really really loose. Are there different steering modes?

[@nickgibbas999]

Yes, it's all customizable. Weight and response both

[@prontoklasik]

Is this model equipped with drive-by-wire steering feature? How does it feel like? Do you feel any bumps or railroads by the steering wheel?

[@JohanDeHaes]

Prontoklasik yes, this model was equipped with drive-by-wire steering. In standard mode it feels like normal driving and when you cross railroads or drive on a bumpy road your steering wheel stays straight. You do still sense the road and get feedback through your steering wheel, it just doesn't impact your driving, which is a good thing. In sport mode the steering feels very direct, but a bit on the heavy side for my taste.

I never understood the reason behind a hybrid q50 that still uses a big 3.7 liter v6 all that hardware miney and extra work put in this car to give it an extra 15-30hp... it makes absolutely no sense

[@ryanjohnson8821]

It's not really about the hp gain. It's more about the improved fuel economy and the gain of torque. I have a G35 and no matter how I drive it, I have trouble getting more than 20mpg and only 260 torque it's only fast once it is moving.

[@nickcaesar7650]

E46325mod uhhh it uses a different 3.5 L v6 not the 3.7...and what about the 470 pounds of torque this monster puts out? That’s only 10 less than a fucking Ferrari Enzo that has a 6.0L V12. Sounds like it’s worth extra hardware to me. Oh and the thousands you’ll save on fuel...

Does the torque really feel like 400lb feet

[@JohanDeHaes]

for me it's been to long since i've driven the car, to answer that question

[@APsupportsTerrorism]

To get the most torque you need to stop the car in M downshifting to 1 and not pressing hard enough on the brake for it to shut the engine off. Then you're at a full stop, with engine still on. If you punch the accelerator it will plant you in the back of your seat. It's nothing like a GT-R launch of course, but if you have a chatty passenger it will shut them up for a bit. Disclaimer: I have a feeling this wont work as well with the pure RWD version; I can tell the ATTESA AWD activates when I do it.

[@Leonaristo]

Very interesting to see that most of the time, the tachometer meter (engine rpm) pointed 0 when the car was actually running between 40 and 60km/h or more. Must be quite quiet during that time.

[@ahmedkashif1043]

Atleast is has a rpm gauge instead of an eco meter

[@MarksTournaments]

+Ahmed Kashif Eco meter right under

[@APsupportsTerrorism]

That's not an Eco meter - it's the batt/elec-motor equivalent to the RPM gauge. Blue side is how much battery is being charged; White side is how much battery is being discharged. So you can tell whether elec motor is generating batt charge or contributing horsepower, and to what degree it's doing those things. Let's you know what's going on with the electric motor at any given instant.

[@tomferrari517]

@@APsupportsTerrorism you just defined an eco meter in a typical hybrid hahaha. It's much preferable to have it like this with an rpm gauge and a small eco meter like in this case. You don't see the typical charge, eco and power labels but in this infiniti that gauge literally represents that in a simplified way.
