In 2013, at the Detroit International Auto Show, Infiniti unveiled the Q50 sedan, which is the brand's first car created by the Renault-Nissan alliance in conjunction with Daimler. The European premiere of the novelty took place at the Geneva Motor Show.

The release of this model coincided with the "rebranding" of the company. Infiniti has completely redesigned its naming conventions. From now on, all sedans, coupes and convertibles of the company bear the Q index, and crossovers and SUVs - the QX. There is no longer a hint of the displacement of the motor in the digital indices. To words, letter "Q" for Infiniti is symbolic, since the first car of the brand bore the designation Q45.

The Q50 sedan replaces the G37 model in the line, on the platform of which it is built. But the FM (Front Midship) platform has been significantly upgraded. The characteristics of the shock absorbers and springs have been changed, the geometry of the double-link suspensions at the front and the multi-link structure at the rear have been changed, and the subframes have become stiffer. Plus a petrol V6 shifted to the wheelbase and optional brakes with four-piston calipers in the front and two-piston in the rear. Dimensions almost nhave changed. The wheelbase is similar to the Infiniti G sedan (2850 mm), and the length has increased by only 13 mm (4790 mm).

The classic layout has also been preserved with the possibility of replacing the rear-wheel drive with an all-wheel drive transmission. In the all-wheel drive version, the sedan is equipped with an Intelligent AWD transmission: a typical scheme with automatic rear axle connection via an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch. Intelligent AWD allows for forced locking of the clutch (at moderate speeds) if required.

Infiniti designers managed to connect the past and the futuregosh. The look of the 2014 Q50 features both the brand's traditional styling tricks and new elements borrowed from the Infiniti Etherea, Essence and Emerge-E concept cars. First of all, it is the shape of the headlights, front LED optics, "volumetric" radiator grille, double exhaust pipes and the characteristic bend of the rear pillar, which have become attributes of the new corporate identity of Infiniti. The sedan is distinguished by good streamlining - the drag coefficient is 0.26 (for cars with a sports package - 0.27).

MainThe second highlight of the interior was the interface of the Infiniti InTouch communication system. In order not to overload the driver with a complex menu, the developers divided the multimedia control into two touch screens, which are located one above the other (8-inch at the top and 7-inch at the bottom) and occupy almost the entire center console. The upper one is responsible for the navigation system and a number of car settings. The lower screen attracts attention with excellent graphics and good resolution. Menus can be scrolled and zoomed with finger movements, InTouch is compatible with Facebook, Twitter andGoogle services, knows how to work with email clients and read SMS messages received on the phone connected to the system.

The interior of the Infiniti Q50 pleases with high-quality assembly and solid materials. The cabin can be trimmed with either polished wood or intricately textured aluminum accents (Infiniti calls them Kacchu). The front seats are co-developed with NASA to reduce driver fatigue on long journeys. In the S version, they are distinguished by increased lateral support, the level of "hug" which can beo adjust, and a sliding popliteal roller. The driver's and front passenger's seats move by electric servomechanisms in 8 directions, the multifunction steering wheel covered with leather is adjustable in tilt and reach. There is plenty of legroom in the back, but the central tunnel clearly hints that the third one is superfluous here. For rear passengers there are ventilation system deflectors, an ashtray and a folding armrest with two cup holders.

The entire automotive world will remember the Q50 model as the first car with a "fake" plem - the angle of rotation of the front wheels is determined by the electronic brain, and the steering wheel only gives it commands. This allows the car to independently keep the lane, adjust the course on unevenness by small steering adjustments, resist gusts of crosswind, etc. Moreover, the driver can choose four levels of feedback, and for the sake of safety, the electronics are duplicated by a conventional mechanical steering drive, which is automatically activated in an emergency.

The car received advanced safety technologies,ks which Infiniti calls the Safety Shield. The car is stuffed to capacity with various electronic assistants. The Lane Keeping System (Active Lane Control), based on the readings of the camera that reads the markings, independently steers the car between the lines, using for this not selective wheel braking using VDC, but steering. Moreover, it works even if the driver removes both hands from the steering wheel, and neutralizes the influence of the side wind. And when you try to leave a given corridor without turning on the "turn signal" on the steering wheel, it grows atilie.

The list of "smart" systems continues with active cruise control with the "Stop and go" function (works until a full stop and starts moving on itself) and Forward Collision Warning, which ensures that the driver does not come to the stern of the car in front (it brakes the car itself ). There is also a similar system for reversing - if the parking sensors detect an obstacle, it will prevent a collision. The list of "smart" systems is complemented by monitoring of dead zones, all-round cameras, and automatic high beam.

Ruler dThe Q50 sedan consists of an upgraded petrol 6-cylinder 3.7-liter 328-horsepower unit and a hybrid power plant with a total capacity of 355 horsepower, which includes a 3.5-liter internal combustion engine with a capacity of 296 hp, 68 horsepower electric motor and compact lithium-ion battery. A 7-speed automatic Jatco is offered as a transmission. According to the passport data, the sprint to "hundred" in the hybrid takes 5.1 seconds, and the maximum speed reaches 250 km / h. The Infiniti Drive Mode switch can be used to selectSelect one of the four "factory" options for the transmission and engine operation, or configure a personal mode. And for cars with the DAS system, it is additionally available to change the speed of steering responses.

In the European market, the car is also available with a 2.1-liter diesel engine with 170 hp. and 400 Nm of torque. Diesel Infiniti Q50 with automatic transmission accelerates to "hundreds" in 8.5 seconds, and the maximum speed reaches 230 km / h. It is noteworthy that the diesel version, in contrast to the gasoline offersIt is also available with a 6-speed manual transmission.

A noteworthy fact, the luggage compartment of the hybrid version is significantly smaller (400 liters versus 510 liters). The backrests of the back sofa fold down to transport long items. Underground - just a tool, the Infiniti Q50 is equipped with run-flat tires.

In the top-end configuration, the Infiniti Q50 is able to memorize the position of the seats, side mirrors, steering column, climate control settings, navigation system and displays, the language of messages and even the layout of the keyboard used and the system of measures. Plus, of course, paInfiniti Drive Mode Selector and Direct Adaptive Steering parameters that change the driving mode. A total of 96 settings can be selected for 10 different functions for two different people - they are stored in the memory of each of the car keys.
