How much does the 2016 INFINITI Q50 cost?

Prices have softened 2.92% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 479 listings available, which suggests a modest amount of inventory for you to compare.

Is the 2016 INFINITI Q50 a good car?

Yes — you’re looking at a 5/5 user-rated car with an expert score of 6.67/10. The model scores 8/10 across Technology and Safety.

Owners consistently praise its performance, power, comfort, handling, and spaciousness. That lines up with the Q50’s appeal as a stylish luxury sedan that can work well for families or for you if you want a mix of comfort and driving enjoyment. The market also shows 27.8% good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2016 INFINITI Q50 reliable?

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

The owner feedback points to a car that feels dependable in daily use, with strong performance and comfort that owners feel good about over time. The expert drive notes also support that impression by describing the Q50 as a car with adept handling and an impressive ride quality, which can make it feel like a vehicle you can count on for regular driving.

The main long-term ownership risk for used buyers is that condition can vary a lot by example, so a careful inspection matters more than assuming every car has been equally well maintained.

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

At 43.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a car with a lower price or a long feature list. Focus on signs of prior bodywork, uneven wear, and whether the car’s equipment works as expected, since the Q50’s appeal depends heavily on how well it has been kept up. If you want the best ownership experience, pay close attention to the condition of the cabin, electronics, and steering feel.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The 2.0t Premium is the lease-special version, and it can feel stripped compared with better-equipped versions because it does not include leather seats, navigation, or the safety-related driver-assistance systems as standard equipment.
• Powertrain: The 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder makes 208 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, and it uses a 7-speed automatic with downshift rev matching and adaptive shift control. It returns an EPA combined rating of 26 mpg, and the test loop returned 26.3 mpg.
• 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. Additional driver-assistance features are available on the 3.0t, Hybrid, Sport, and Red Sport 400.
• Infotainment: Premium models use a dual-screen infotainment system with a 14-speaker Bose premium audio system. The system does not include Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, and InTouch Services is free for the first year before becoming an extra-cost item.
• Fuel efficiency: The 2.0t returned 26.3 mpg on the test loop and is rated at 26 mpg combined.

Which 2016 INFINITI Q50 trim should I buy?

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

Here's the short version:

• 2.0t: This is the entry point, and it makes sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the Q50 lineup. It gives you the core luxury-sedan experience, but the content shows that the Premium version still leaves out leather seats, navigation, and the safety-related driver-assistance systems, so it is best if price matters more than equipment.
• 3.0t: This is the better all-around choice if you want the stronger performance path the model is known for. The overview points you toward the 3.0t when maximum driving enjoyment matters, making it the best-value trim for many shoppers who want more of the Q50’s personality without jumping all the way to the top performance model.
• Sport: This is the trim to consider if you want a more enthusiast-focused setup than the base car. The overview groups it with the stronger-driving versions, so it suits you if performance matters more than simply getting the cheapest Q50.
• Hybrid: This is the efficiency-leaning choice in the lineup. It fits you best if you want the Q50’s luxury and technology with a different powertrain character than the gas-only trims.
• Red Sport 400: This is the top performance pick, and it is the right choice if you want the most powerful and most aggressive version of the Q50. The overview specifically calls it out as one of the stronger picks for maximum driving enjoyment.

For safety equipment, the Driver Assistance package is not standard on the 2.0t Premium, while the 3.0t, Hybrid, Sport, and Red Sport 400 can be had with additional driver-assistance features.

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 carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 27.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 479 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.92% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 43.4% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $13,246, 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 $13,458 sits slightly below last year's $13,862.

That softer pricing trend suggests the Q50 has become easier for you to buy, but it also means a future seller may need to price competitively to stand out. If you own one and keep it in strong condition, the model’s mix of comfort, performance, and upscale appeal should help it remain attractive to used buyers. The biggest resale advantage will come from a well-documented car with desirable equipment and clean history.

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?

The 2016 INFINITI Q50 earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

It includes an available Driver Assistance package with predictive forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, rear automatic emergency braking, moving-object detection, and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert. Additional driver-assistance features are available on the 3.0t, Hybrid, Sport, and Red Sport 400, including blind-spot intervention, lane-departure warning with lane-departure prevention, active lane control, adaptive headlights, and pre-crash seat belts.

One caveat is that the safety content notes that neither NHTSA nor IIHS carried forward the Q50’s frontal-impact test ratings for 2016, so you should treat crash-protection confidence as something to verify carefully when comparing individual cars and equipment levels.

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:

• 27.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 43.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.92% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• Improved for 2016, it feels more like a legitimate luxury sports sedan with upgraded powertrains and technology.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $12,850, the 2015 costs less than the current year's $13,458 average.
• It offers a wide range of personalities, from comfortable all-weather cruiser to fast sports sedan.

The bottom line: You should lean toward the 2016 if you want the updated feel, stronger appeal, and better market context. If your priority is simply spending less, the 2015 is the smarter value play, especially if you find one in strong condition and with the equipment you want.
