The RM30k upgrade also includes Direct Adaptive Steering, the “steer by wire” headlining tech act for the Q50. The latter package includes Blind Spot Warning with Intervention, Lane Departure Warning, Around View Monitor (with Moving Object Detection Backup Collision Intervention), Active Lane Control and Predictive Forward Collision Warning with Intelligent Cruise Control.
Should that be not enough, Infiniti is offering a RM30,000 “Premium Touring and Technology” upgrade package ( RM278,800 total) that includes 18-inch alloys (with obvious Enkei branding, 17-inch on Standard, run-flat tyres for all), a 14-speaker Bose sound system, Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS) and high beam assist, a choice of aluminium or maple wood trim, and the Infiniti Driver Assist System bundle. Customers can choose from three leather colours – black, grey and beige – to go with the nicely-textured “Kacchu” aluminium trim.
The Q50 2.0T GT, at RM248,800 on-the-road without insurance, looks like good value for a CBU Japan import, and that’s before you scan the very decent spec sheet.Īuto LED headlamps, keyless entry and push start, 10-way powered driver’s seat with memory (8-way for passenger), power steering adjustment, dual LCD screens, rear view monitor and tyre pressure monitor (TPMS) are all standard. Top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h.
Total system output is 364 hp and 546 Nm, mighty enough for 0-100 km/h in 5.1 seconds. Powering the Q50S 3.5 Hybrid is a 298 hp, 338 Nm 3.5 litre Atkinson-cycle V6 mated to a 62 hp, 270 Nm electric motor, a lithium-ion battery and a seven-speed automatic transmission. Claimed combined fuel consumption is 13.6 km/l. Like the German duo, the Q50 is rear-wheel driven. The W204 Mercedes C200 does 7.8 seconds and 235 km/h, so they’re all in the same ballpark. That’s comparable to the 184 hp/270 Nm BMW 320i, which is good for 7.3 seconds and 235 km/h. Zero to 100 km/h is done in 7.2 seconds and top speed is 245 km/h. Infiniti’s version of the engine has specific tuning.
It can be found in the W212 E-Class facelift, and the upcoming W205 C 200 is expected to carry this combo as well. The Renault-Nissan Alliance has an ongoing partnership with Daimler, and the Q50’s drivetrain is from Mercedes-Benz. The direct-injection four-cylinder unit is paired to a seven-speed automatic gearbox with manual mode and Downshift Rev Matching. The Q50 2.0 Turbo is powered by a 2.0 litre turbocharged engine with 211 hp and 350 Nm of torque from 1,250 to 3,500 rpm. You know that already from our showroom preview and test drive report. The Q50 – a premium compact exec that will do battle with the BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Audi A4 and Lexus IS – is available in Malaysia with two engines, a 2.0 turbo and a 3.5 hybrid. The Infiniti Q50 was officially launched this morning at the marque’s Jalan Tun Razak showroom in KL.
