How much does the 2016 INFINITI Q50 cost?

Prices have softened 4.72% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 533 listings available, which suggests you have a workable amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2016 INFINITI Q50 a good car?

Yes — the 2016 INFINITI Q50 earns a 5/5 user rating and a 6.7/10 expert rating. The model scores 8/10 across Technology and Safety.

Owners consistently praise its performance, power, comfort, handling, and spaciousness, and the car’s upscale feel and attractive design help it stand out. The overview also points to a stylish alternative to the usual luxury-sedan choices, especially if you value a comfortable, technologically sophisticated package.

With 27.2% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market still offers some room to find a compelling example.

Is the 2016 INFINITI Q50 reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

User feedback points to a car that owners can count on for performance, comfort, and everyday livability, with many describing it as a strong value for the price. The expert review also frames it as a car that was improved for 2016 and more convincing as a legitimate luxury sports sedan, which supports the idea that it can be a dependable used buy when maintained well.

The 2.0t’s powertrain is described as solidly engineered, with a smooth automatic transmission and revised suspension tuning that help it feel composed over time. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is choosing a poorly maintained example or one with the less compelling base setup.

What should I look for when buying a used 2016 INFINITI Q50?

At 42.2% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle-history report and prioritize any signs of prior collision repair, especially on cars that may have been in more than one incident. A careful pre-purchase inspection should focus on body alignment, paint consistency, and how well the car’s electronics and driver aids function. Because the Q50’s appeal depends heavily on trim and equipment, you should also confirm that the specific car has the features you expect.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The 2.0t Premium has an upscale cabin and dual-screen infotainment, but it lacks leather seats, navigation, and safety-related driver-assistance systems as standard equipment.
• Powertrain: The 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder makes 208 horsepower and is paired with a 7-speed automatic; it is efficient, but it is the least energetic choice in the lineup.
• Safety package: The available Driver Assistance package adds predictive forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, rear automatic emergency braking, moving-object detection, and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.
• Infotainment: Premium models use a dual-screen system with a 14-speaker Bose audio system, but there is no Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
• Fuel efficiency: The 2.0t returned 26 mpg in combined driving in testing.

Which 2016 INFINITI Q50 trim should I buy?

The 2016 INFINITI Q50 is offered in 5 trim levels: 2.0t, 3.0t, Hybrid, Sport, Red Sport 400.

Here's the short version:

• 2.0t: This is the entry point and the best fit if you want the lowest-cost way into the Q50, but it is also the least compelling choice for driving enjoyment and misses several desirable features unless you add packages.
• 3.0t: This is the better all-around pick if you want stronger performance without jumping all the way to the top of the range, and it’s the trim the review points to for buyers who care more about driving enjoyment.
• Hybrid: Choose this if you want a more efficiency-minded Q50, though the available information emphasizes the model’s broader range of personalities more than this specific trim’s unique strengths.
• Sport: This is the better choice if you want a more engaging setup and more of the Q50’s performance character.
• Red Sport 400: This is the enthusiast choice and the most powerful version, but it is also the most expensive.

The Driver Assistance package is the key safety add-on to look for, and some advanced driver-assistance features are reserved for higher trims.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2016 INFINITI Q50?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently but should move quickly on the right car.

• Deal availability: 27.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 533 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.72% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 42.2% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $13,248, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2016 INFINITI Q50's resale value?

The current average of $13,319 sits slightly below last year's $13,979.

That softer pricing suggests the Q50 has become more accessible for used buyers, but it also means future sellers may need to stay competitive on condition and equipment. If you buy well and keep the car in strong shape, you may be better positioned than owners of neglected examples when it comes time to resell.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2016 INFINITI Q50 safe?

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

The available Driver Assistance package includes predictive forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, rear automatic emergency braking, moving-object detection, and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert. Higher trims can add blind-spot intervention, lane-departure warning with lane-departure prevention, active lane control, adaptive headlights, and pre-crash seat belts.

One important caveat is that the base 2.0t Premium does not include the safety-related driver-assistance systems as standard equipment, so you need to verify whether a used example has the package you want.

Should I buy a 2016 INFINITI Q50 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2016 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2016 if:

• 27.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 42.2% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.72% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It was improved for 2016 and feels more like a legitimate luxury sports sedan.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $12,553, the 2015 costs less than the current year's $13,319 average.
• It offers wide-ranging personalities, from comfortable all-weather cruiser to fast sports sedan.

The bottom line: If you want the better-balanced version of this car, the 2016 is the stronger pick because it feels more polished and more convincing as a luxury sports sedan. If your priority is saving money, the 2015 can still make sense, especially if you value its broader personality range and find a clean, well-kept example.

How does the 2016 INFINITI Q50 compare to the 2016 BMW 3 Series?

Our experts score the 2016 INFINITI Q50 6.7/10 and the 2016 BMW 3 Series 7.5/10. The Q50 gives you more horsepower and a lower average used price, while the 3 Series brings better fuel economy, more listings, and a higher share of good or great deals. If you want the stronger value proposition and more performance punch, the Q50 has appeal; if you want the more efficient and more widely available choice, the BMW is the safer bet.
