Any one know about the new Infiniti Q50

[Ake109]

Heard that they will confirm bring in the 400 red sport by year end. Pricing should be 240k.

 

waiting waiting....

at that price for 400hp and RWD is a steal. Almost BMW M3 level but 20% less.

240k is before or after discount??

Well Jag 3.0Supercharged at 230k after discount.

 

I suppose this one should be around that level after discount too.

 

340i overpriced lor.

 

M3 is different level lah.

That's an interesting comparison... 70 hp more but it would be difficult for Wearnes to price it significantly higher than the supercharged XE...

I am considering both:

 

Infiniti - 400hp, I prefer turbos to SC, hate the driver aid tech package. Don't need all these fancy lane departure warning steer by wire crap

 

Jag - Nicer interior, hate the gear knob, but the ZF8 spd is far superior to the Merc 7 G tronic Q50 uses

 

 

Any idea if the Q50 is using the 5th gen 7 g tronic or the 6th gen 7 g plus?

Don't knock the DAS till you've tried it - I tried it at the Infiniti drive experience and was impressed enough to stump up the additional $18k... and local Q50s don't have the full lane departure technology.

 

But yes, Jag interior really swee. and the XE is damn fierce.

2.0T is using 7 g tronic plus

 

3.0 is Jatco JR712E

 

Red Sport not updated to Wiki yet, but since the power requirements are similar, perhaps it is the JATCO unit...

The Jatco I believe was designed to be compatible with hybrids, its designed from Jatco to mate to a hybrid motor at the housing. The 7 G tronic is good for up to 700NM, shouldn't be a problem handling the 3.0TT.  No idea which box gives a better experience though. If I read you wiki link correctly, the 3.7 non hybrid is using the 7G as well. Only the Q50 hybrids using the Jatco.

 

The kerb weight of the Q50 is quite staggering! 1.7 tons for a 3 series size body. The 3.0 should weight in at 1.8! Is yours the Sport model? Do the feel the heavy weight inertia in daily driving?

Hey guys...I am invited by the SE to join their "Infiniti Close Door Private Sales Event" that is happening tonight. Does anyone know what can be expected at the this event besides free orange juice?

you can feel the inertia, but not when steering. the DAS can be very light if you want it to be.

 

this is one car that feels better the faster you drive it. in carparks it can feel a bit unwieldy... go and test!

probably a buffet spread, test drives and management car sales.

Q50 is longer and I think wider than 3 series. In fact, it is the longest in a class. Between 3 series n 5 series length. Go buy jag xe.

I did. I was quite disturbed by how the steering ratio (not the weight but the turn to turn ratio) varies with speed without warning. e.g. I tried to do a U turn and the ratio felt like it changed as I accelerated lightly thru the 180 turn.

 

Do you get that? Or was it just my mind playing tricks due to the steering getting heavier as I picked up speed.

 

I am very tempted. Just hoping for COE to drop a bit and for Wearnes to give me a price.

Actually the ratio is constant. The difference is in the immediacy of the steering. No "lag", that's why it feels weird at first. Now that I am used to it, actually feels pretty good!

Doesn't the ratio vary? Like typical speed sensitive steering. e.g. at parking speeds and highway speeds.

I thought you described a U-turn scenario. I definitely don't feel anything strange at U-turns... Edited May 15, 2016 by Coern
