How much does the 2016 INFINITI Q50 cost?

Prices have softened 6.33% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 476 listings available, which gives you a decent 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 6.67/10 expert rating. The model scores 8/10 across Technology and Safety.

Owners consistently praise its performance, power, and comfort, and they also call out its handling and spaciousness. That lines up with the overview’s focus on a stylish luxury sports sedan that can appeal to you if you want a mix of performance and luxury, especially if you value a more distinctive alternative to the usual segment choices.

With 25.6% of listings marked as good or great deals, there’s still room to shop selectively.

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 feels reliable, dependable, and trouble-free in everyday use, with owners especially appreciating its long-term comfort and performance. The expert drive notes also describe the transmission as smooth and seamless, which supports the impression of a car you can count on.

The cost-effectiveness notes also mention that the Premium model’s lease structure can leave you paying extra for equipment that isn’t standard, so used buyers should pay close attention to maintenance history and equipment content before committing. For long-term ownership, your biggest risk is less about the core car and more about buying one that was poorly maintained or lightly equipped for your needs.

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

At 43.3% 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 higher-mileage example or one with prior bodywork. Focus on condition, equipment completeness, and whether the car’s technology and driver-assistance features still work as intended.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The 2.0t Premium has an upscale cabin and useful conveniences, but it lacks leather seats, navigation, and safety-related driver-assistance systems as standard equipment.
• Powertrain: The turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder makes 208 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, and it pairs with a 7-speed automatic transmission with downshift rev matching and adaptive shift control. It’s efficient, but it can feel less energetic than some rivals.
• 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 higher trims.
• Infotainment: Premium models use a dual-screen infotainment setup with a 14-speaker Bose premium audio system. It does not include Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, and the voice-recognition system can be frustrating.
• Fuel efficiency: The 2.0t averaged 26.3 mpg on the test loop, and the official combined rating is 26 mpg.

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 it makes the most sense if you want the Q50’s style, comfort, and tech at the lowest price. It’s the trim to consider if you’re shopping value first, but you should know that key convenience and safety features are not standard here.
• 3.0t: This is the better choice if you want stronger performance without jumping all the way to the top of the range. It also opens the door to more driver-assistance features, making it a more rounded pick for many shoppers.
• Hybrid: Choose this if you want the Q50’s luxury-sedan feel with a fuel-efficiency angle. It’s a niche choice, but it broadens the car’s personality beyond pure performance.
• Sport: This is the trim to target if you want a more engaging driving experience and a stronger equipment mix. It’s a good fit if you care about the Q50’s performance character more than its entry price.
• Red Sport 400: This is the performance flagship, and it’s the right pick if maximum driving enjoyment is your priority. It sits at the top of the range and is the most compelling choice for enthusiasts.

For safety equipment, the Driver Assistance package is the key option to look for on lower trims, while higher trims gain additional driver-assistance features.

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop with some leverage if you’re patient.

• Deal availability: 25.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 476 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.33% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 43.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $13,242, 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 $13,256 sits slightly below last year's $14,153.

That decline suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy more confidently now but may also limit upside if you plan to sell soon. If you’re a future seller, the softer pricing trend means you should expect resale value to depend heavily on condition, mileage, and equipment rather than broad market momentum.

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.

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 safety package is not standard on the 2.0t Premium, so you should verify exactly which driver-assistance features are installed on any used example you’re considering.

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:

• 25.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 43.3% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.33% 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 $13,093, the 2015 costs less than the current year's $13,256 average.
• It offers wide-ranging personalities, from comfortable all-weather cruiser to fast sports sedan.

The bottom line: If you want the stronger all-around package, the 2016 is the better starting point because it brings meaningful updates and still sits in a buyer-friendly price range. If your main goal is to spend less up front, the 2015 is the value alternative, especially if you find one in good condition with the features you want.
