Infiniti Malaysia launched the all new Q50 sports sedan at the newly relocated INFINITI Center Kuala Lumpur situated at The Icon, Jalan Tun Razak. While Infiniti vehicles have always been noted for their outstanding proportions and presence, the new Infiniti Q50 adds a new dimension, reflecting the direct influence of Infiniti’s exciting design language.The signature Infiniti exterior design features include the powerful ‘double arch’ grille, the dynamic wave shoulder-line and crescent-cut C-pillar. The front end is decidedly aggressive, with a sporty front fascia offered on the Q50 sports model.The Q50 is powered by a responsive and highly efficient 2.0-liter direct-injection four-cylinder turbo engine delivering 211hp of power and 350Nm of torque to sprint from 0 – 100km/h in 7.2 seconds, while sipping just 1 liter of petrol per 13.6 km.
A 3.5-liter V6 engine with Infiniti’s Direct Response Hybrid technology is available in the petrol-powered Q50S Hybrid, which produces an impressive 364hp of power and 546Nm of torque by combining the performance of a 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine and the efficiency of a compact 67hp power electric motor partnered to a lithium-ion battery. The combined system responds with thrilling immediacy hitting 0-100km/h in 5.1 seconds, while it achieves a surprisingly frugal fuel economy of 16.1km/L.
Infiniti’s Director of Performance, Sebastian Vettel – four-time Formula One World Champion – aided in the development of the new Infiniti Q50, harnessing his supreme driving senses and passion for performance to ensure this new sports sedan is as dynamic as possible.
