Infiniti Q50 Price: MSRP, Trims & Real-World Cost

The Q50 is Infiniti's compact luxury sports sedan, and the 2024 model was its last. There is no new-car price to quote now, so a search for the Q50 price usually points to one of two things: what the car cost new, or how to price a used one.

This guide gives the original prices for the final model year, explains the trim ladder, and covers the destination charge and how to size up a used example.

The 2024 Q50 started with the Luxe in rear-wheel drive at $43,050, and the Luxe AWD at $45,050. The Sensory RWD followed at $48,750. At the top, the Red Sport 400 cost $56,900 in RWD and $58,900 with all-wheel drive.

Two other sources give slightly different figures. MotorTrend shows a range of $44,200 – $60,050, and CarBuzz lists the base at $43,050, which matches the Luxe above. Ranges can differ because a source may include destination, or count different trims.

All-wheel drive added the same amount on both the Luxe and the Red Sport 400. That gap shows what the drivetrain cost new. For a used buyer, the question is whether the traction is worth it where you live.

The 2024 Q50 carried a destination charge of $1,150 on top of MSRP.

When you compare an old window sticker with a listing, check whether the figure includes destination.

Original MSRP is a ceiling. A used Q50's price depends on model year, mileage, trim, and condition. Because the Q50 was sold for many years, listings cover a wide span of ages, and an older high-mileage car will cost far less than a late-model one.

• Gather several current listings for the same year and trim, noting asking price and mileage.
• Compare with a valuation guide and recent sold prices.
• Read the vehicle history report for accidents, title issues, and service records.
• Confirm the trim and drivetrain from the VIN.

Asking prices leave room to negotiate, and a pre-purchase inspection from an independent mechanic is worth the fee.

The Red Sport 400 is the performance trim, and its original price was several thousand dollars above the Sensory. If you want that car, expect used examples to cost more than the Luxe and Sensory models of the same age. Check how the car was driven and maintained, since performance sedans can see harder use. Ask for service records, and look for signs of modification.

Insurance depends on your driving record, location, and the car's trim. Fuel type, tire sizes, and brake parts can raise running costs on performance trims, so check the owner's manual for the fuel the engine calls for. Check for open recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls before you buy.

Three sources are cited above and each shows a slightly different range. The reasons can include whether destination is added, which trims are counted, and whether options appear in the figure. None of these is an error by itself, but you should compare like with like. If you want the exact original price of a specific car, the window sticker or the dealer's records for that VIN are the most reliable references.

Ask where the car has been serviced, because a full history from one shop is a good sign. Look at tire wear for alignment problems and test every electronic feature, including the infotainment screen and driver aids. Since Infiniti no longer sells the Q50 new, ask a service department about parts availability and typical repair costs before you commit. If you finance, compare interest rates from more than one lender.
