Overview
The Infiniti Q50 is a compact executive car manufactured by both Nissan and Dongfeng Nissan for its luxury brand, Infiniti. Replacing the G sedan, it debuted at the 2013 North American International Auto Show and went on sale in North America in the third quarter of 2013 and in Europe in the fourth quarter of 2013. It is the export model of the Japanese domestic market's V37 Nissan Skyline. The design of the Q50 continues to follow the design language first shown by the 2009 Infiniti Essence concept and the production 2011 Infiniti M. The Q50 is also the first instance of a hybrid powertrain in Infiniti's entry-level model, but it was discontinued in 2019.
