How much does the 2016 INFINITI Q50 cost?

Prices have softened 6.55% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 481 listings available, which gives you a reasonable amount of inventory to compare before you commit.

If you find a listing below $13,244.72, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2016 INFINITI Q50 a good car?

Yes — owners rate it 5/5, and the expert rating is 6.67/10. The model scores 8/10 across Technology and Safety.

Owners consistently praise its performance, power, and comfort, and many also like its handling and spaciousness. That lines up with the overview: you’re looking at a stylish, comfortable, technologically sophisticated luxury sports sedan that should appeal if you want something a little different from the usual choices.

With 26.4% of listings marked as good or great deals, there’s enough market opportunity to make this a worthwhile model to shop carefully.

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 reliable, dependable, and comfortable enough that many shoppers see it as a strong value for the price. The expert drive notes also support that impression by describing the transmission as smooth and the car as enjoyable to drive over time.

You should still pay close attention to maintenance history and overall condition, because used luxury sedans can become expensive if prior care was inconsistent.

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

At 45.5% 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 the car has been in any collision. Focus on body alignment, paint consistency, tire wear, and whether the electronics and driver-assistance features work as expected.

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 turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder is paired with a 7-speed automatic, and it delivers decent acceleration with an average of 26.3 mpg on the test loop.
• Safety package: The optional 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: The dual-screen system is paired with a 14-speaker Bose premium audio system in Premium models, but it does not include Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
• Fuel efficiency: The test car averaged 26.3 mpg, and the EPA combined rating was 26 mpg.

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’s style and comfort, but it is the least compelling choice if driving enjoyment is your priority.
• 3.0t: This is the better all-around pick if you want more satisfying performance without jumping all the way to the top of the range.
• Sport: This is the best-value choice if you want the Q50’s stronger performance character and a more complete luxury-sedan feel.
• Hybrid: Choose this if you want the efficiency-oriented version of the lineup and are willing to trade some of the sportier appeal.
• Red Sport 400: This is the one to buy if maximum performance is your goal.

The Driver Assistance package is optional on the 2.0t Premium, while additional driver-assistance features are available on the 3.0t, Hybrid, Sport, and Red Sport 400.

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 with some leverage if you compare listings carefully.

• Deal availability: 26.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 481 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.55% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 45.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $13,244.72, 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 $13,238 sits slightly below last year's $14,165.

That price movement suggests the Q50 has already absorbed some depreciation, which can help future resale stability if you buy at the right price. If you keep mileage reasonable and maintain the car well, you may be able to limit how much value it loses from here.

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 eight-star ratings in frontal crash and rollover, and five-star ratings in all other NHTSA tests.

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

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

If you’re shopping a lower trim, keep in mind that some of those safety technologies are not standard.

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:

• 26.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 45.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.55% 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 $13,173, the 2015 costs less than the current year's $13,238 average.
• It offers unusual versatility, shifting easily between comfort, efficiency, and performance.

The bottom line: If you want the stronger all-around package, the 2016 is the better target because it brings meaningful updates and still sits at a relatively approachable price. If your main goal is saving a little more upfront, the 2015 is the sensible fallback, especially if you find one in excellent condition.
