2023 Infiniti Q50 Signature Edition Review and Test Drive

Before we jump into this guys, I just want to say special thanks to my friends at Hyatt Infinity in Calgary. If you guys are in the market for a new Infiniti vehicle, they're your Infiniti experts in the Calgary area. Make sure you guys check them out. We're going to link their website in the description below. Welcome back to another video guys. We're in the lovely Calgary, Alberta and we're here with the 2023 Infiniti Q50 Signature Edition. But let's take a look of the exterior of the Q50 here. This one comes with an MSRP of $56,895 and look at the exterior styling of this Signature Edition. I love the front sport fascia that they've added here. They've added the Infiniti Signature front grille, had full on adaptive LED headlights and come check out the sides here. 19 inch aluminum alloy rims, full LED turning accents right on your mirror there. And I love that you have the approach lock and unlock as you approach the vehicle. It's just one touch and you can lock and unlock the door. I love the rear spoiler here on this Signature Edition and then our Infiniti badge and our signature badging is all blacked out and my eyes just gravitate down to the dual curled exhaust tips right underneath. Just giving it that sporty and athletic look. Dead body test in the trunk, 383 liters of cargo capacity. You can probably fit maybe two dead bodies in there and then you can also fold the seats down as well. Checking out the power plan, this one comes with a three liter twin turbo V6. You get the seven speed automatic transmission with the manual shift mode and one of my favorite things is the downshift rev matching. Popping a whopping 300 horsepower and 295 pounds feet of torque out of the turbocharged three liter. For fuel economy you're going to get about 10.8 liters for every 100 kilometers combined or 26 mpg for all my American friends. Jumping into the Q50, let's start it up and right away I love just the dual touchscreen here with the Infiniti in-touch system here. They put all your information up here for your navigation, your GPS and then your temperature and then all of our inputs are down here so I can enter my navigation address and I can do all of my different systems here like the Infiniti touch services. There's a drive mode selector. I love this Infiniti intuition so it will sync with your key and it will memorize some of the temperatures and some of the settings that you use which is really neat. As you use the car more it starts to set these things up automatically for you with the advanced climate control system. So we have the dual occupant memory position here for the driver's seat. It's an eight-way power adjustable driver's seat and the driver's seat does come heated. Super comfortable here. The interior is laid out beautifully in this Q50 here. You have this nice black pour open wood trim which contrasts great with the silver stitching. I still do like the traditional dial knob for our navigation and you have this kind of straight back shifter here. A little hidden storage underneath here for your phone and then you have two USBs right in your center console there. Our backup camera is going to come on automatically. You get the full around view monitor from Infiniti and you have a couple different views you can change right on the screen there. If you want the parallel view, the back view, there's all different screens. There's a nice wide angle that you can see and you'll get the moving object detection so it will notify you if something's moving behind you as you're backing up. So maybe you want that luxury feel but you still got to take the kids to school. Well this is where they're going to sit in the back here and that's one of the reasons why you would purchase this vehicle. You have two cup holders right in the back. There is a center pass through as well which you can open up but I'm 5'9". The seats are incredibly comfy back here. The cushion is so soft and I still have a ton of space. The moment I've been waiting for. It's so hot outside in Calgary today. 31 degrees so it's so nice to get in and behind the wheel of the Q50. Big standouts right away. We notice how quiet the engine is. The engine is very quiet. There's very little cabin noise. I don't hear a lot of cabin noise right now. Love that 3.0L twin turbo here. You can see it's very responsive. Once you put your foot down it will take off and you also get the manual sport mode so you can slap the shifter over if you do want to shift manually. Super comfortable here on the inside. Everything just feels nice and luxurious. Love that nice leather smell here and it actually has a purification system for the air so it will help keep the air pure and recycled for you in the climate controls down here. Now let's talk about the safety. Now there's so many safety features like I can't even get started on this. Forward emergency braking. So I have them listed on my phone here. That's how many there are. Predictive forward collision warning. Automatic collision notification and emergency call. So if you're in an accident it will automatically call the emergency services for you. There's the rear view monitor with the moving object detection and you have the blind spot warning, the lane departure warning and it also has the haptic feedback on the wheel. So as you deviate from the lane it's going to notify you by vibrating the wheel. You have your backup collision intervention so it will stop for you if you're going to hit someone going behind and then you have the cruise control. Intelligent cruise control with the full speed range. So that's really nice. It will come to a complete stop and then take off again. You don't have to keep resetting it if you're stuck in the traffic jam. So guys what did you think of the Infiniti Q50?
