This feature lets the driver, front passenger and rear passengers set their own temperatures within the cabin. In addition, a sensor constantly monitors the quality of the outside air coming into the interior. An in-cabin microfilter filters the air you breathe inside your vehicle, helping to reduce road dust, pollen and other air pollutants.

Seat belt pretensioners help tighten the front seat belts in certain types of collisions, while load limiters are designed to “give” a little, helping reduce belt-force load transmitted to front occupants.

Lower anchor points are located in the 2nd- row outboard seating positions where the seatback and seat cushion meet, and top tether anchors are located on the back the 2nd- row seatback. These allow the placement of LATCH System child-restraint seats in the rear seat. LATCH System seats allow easy installation and secure attachment without the need for ALR seat belts or locking clips.

To help optimize braking performance for a variety of vehicle loads, Electronic Brake force Distribution adjusts the amount of brake force applied to the rear wheels for improved braking performance, reduced front-end “dive” during braking and more even brake wear. INFINITI's Electronic Brake force Distribution system detects vehicle-load conditions, such as passengers and luggage, and distributes additional brake pressure to the rear brakes as needed.

In emergency braking situations, many drivers don't brake hard enough, soon enough. Brake Assist monitors how you apply the brakes and, when sensing emergency braking, helps apply maximum brake force for potentially shorter stops.

Blind Spot Warning helps alert the driver to the presence of a detected vehicle in the blind-spot area. An indicator light illuminates, followed by an audible warning if the driver engages the turn signal.

Acting in tandem with the Traction Control System, Vehicle Dynamic Control compares actual vehicle cornering performance to the driver’s input, adjusting engine power and/or applying appropriate brake pressure to individual wheels to help correct oversteer or understeer, helping keep the vehicle on the steered path.

The Vehicle Security System, which is activated and deactivated using the INFINITI Intelligent Key, will sound the alarm if intrusion via doors, hood, or trunk is detected.

Electronically controlled 7-speed automatic and manual shift mode offer sequentially selectable manual gearshifts as well as Downshift Rev Matching that automatically opens the throttle when downshifting to match the rpm, resulting in smoother gear changes.

INFINITI's Intelligent All-Wheel Drive provides power and support where and when you need it, instantly adapting to the changing conditions of the road. By constantly monitoring wheelspin, throttle position and vehicle speed, this system automatically diverts up to 50% of the available power to the front wheels, enhancing traction and control when conditions are less than optimal. When all-wheel drive is not needed, the system sends 100% of the power to the rear wheels for more responsive road performance.

Direct Adaptive Steering

This world's first system uses electronics to streamline the steering mechanism for a more precise feeling behind the wheel and adapts driver input to the requirements of the external environment. Over rough or uneven roads, this moderates the need for constant, subtle adjustment, imparting a commanding feeling of controllability while helping shield the driver from excessive road vibrations.

A double-wishbone front and multi-link rear suspension gives the INFINITI Q50 exquisite ride quality on the open road, and firm, taut handling in corners. Springs, shocks and stabilizer bars are tuned for crisp performance.

Regenerative Braking System

Within the graceful curves of the INFINITI Q50 Hybrid, an intelligent system is hard at work. When braking, energy that is normally lost is recaptured by the Regenerative Braking System to charge the lithium-ion battery, which helps improve the efficiency of the hybrid powertrain.

Automatic on/off LED headlights with daytime running lights LED headlights adapt intelligently to changing lighting demands, illuminating in fading daylight or through High Beam Assist, automatically turning on/off the high beams for oncoming nighttime headlights.

INFINITI Intelligent Key with Illuminated Push Button Ignition

Vehicle Security System

The Vehicle Security System, which is activated and deactivated using the INFINITI Intelligent Key, will sound the alarm if intrusion is detected.

Forward Emergency Braking (FEB)
When the INFINITI-first system judges that deceleration is required, it alerts the driver using both a screen display and sound, then generates a force that pushes the accelerator pedal up and smoothly applies partial braking to assist the driver in slowing the vehicle down. When the system judges that there is the possibility of a collision, it will automatically apply harder braking to help avoid a collision. If conditions exist where a collision becomes unavoidable, the system warns the driver, and automatically engages the brakes, and tightens the driver's seat belt to reduce speed and mitigate damage.
