2023 infiniti q50 vs 2023 infiniti q60

The Infiniti Q50 sedan continues for 2023 without the support of its coupe sibling, the Q60. There are just three small changes on the way, one being the addition of Infiniti Premium Care. Expanded to every Infiniti sold or leased in the U.S., Premium Care is a regular maintenance program for items like oil and filter changes, tire rotations, and inspections for up to three years. The second change is a higher price, the Q50 starting at $43,725 including the $1,075 destination fee, a $610 increase over 2022. MSRPs for the three trims next year and differences from 2022 are:

  • Q50 Luxe: $43,725 ($610)
  • Q50 Sensory: $49,425 ($400)
  • Q50 Red Sport 400: $57,575 ($600)

The last change is the availability of a Saddle Brown interior, which used to require stepping up to the Sensory. Rear-wheel drive is the standard layout, all-wheel drive can be optioned to any trim for $2,000. The twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 hold steady at 300 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque for the Luxe and Sensory, or 400 hp and 350 lb-ft for the Red Sport 400, shifting through a seven-speed automatic no matter the output.

It's possible there are more people who want to know where the Q50 is going than want to buy the car. The brand sold 8,482 Q50s in the first half of 2021, but just 3,717 units in the first half of this year. The high point came in 2016 when 44,007 units moved that year, two years after the sedan went on sale, and the model heading into 2023 has been hanging on for 10 years. The brand talked about a potential new electrified platform for the sedan in 2018, but come 2021 Nikkei Asia reported parent company Nissan would be ending development of all sedans in Japan excepting the Skyline.

The Q50 seems like it's doing circles in a product cul-de-sac, knowing there's no point in revamping the current generation or developing a new one. But the car on sale is just bringing down values; unlike much of the rest of the market, there's real money to be saved on a one- or two-year-old Q50. Perhaps when the electric revolution has some power behind it in 2027 or 2028, we could see a return to the hot Infiniti sedans of yore.

Is an Infiniti Q60 better than a Q50?

Q60 Cargo Space. The main difference between the two models is size: the Q50 can seat five passengers, and the Q60 can seat four passengers. If you're looking to maximize rear passenger comfort, the 2022 INFINITI Q50 is the optimal choice.

Is the Q60 bigger than the Q50?

The INFINITI Q50 sedan is bigger than the Q60 coupe. Specifically, the Q50 is 5.2 inches longer and 2.3 inches taller than the Q60, but the Q60 is one inch wider. The Q50 has a 13.5 cubic foot trunk, while the Q60 has an 8.7 cubic foot trunk.

Will there be a 2023 Infiniti Q60?

Infiniti confirmed to us that production of the Q60 coupe will continue through the end of the year, making 2022 its final production year. Infiniti has confirmed that it will discontinue of its Q60 coupe following the 2022 model year.

Does the Q50 and Q60 have the same engine?

The Q60 and Q50 base models have the same engine setup of a V6 twin-turbo with 300 horses and 3.0 liters. This means both vehicles provide a similar level of performance in spite of the fact that one is a coupe, and one is a sedan.
