Infiniti Goes Long on Premium with the Q50L

The Q50L is the first domestically produced Infiniti model for the important Chinese market. Production will take place at the Xiangyang factory in Hubei province, which becomes the fourth assembly plant for Infiniti vehicles globally. China is a rapidly growing market which is now considered a major hub of reference for the Infiniti brand worldwide. Sales growth year-on-year for the first six months of 2014 reached 130%, or total deliveries of just over 14,000 vehicles.

The Infiniti Q50L has an overall length of 4852mm and wheelbase stretched to 2898mm adding nicely to the rear passengers’ sense of premium comfort with the most legroom in this special segment. The Q50L is powered by Infiniti’s first 2.0-liter in-line four-cylinder gas engine that is turbocharged to 211hp and 350Nm of torque. Together with its 7-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode, this powertrain perfectly combines performance and fuel efficiency.

Other features include, the world’s first steer-by-wire system – Direct Adaptive Steering (DAS) – allowing unprecedented driving comfort, safety, and low-effort steering precision. The intuitive double touch-screen Infiniti InTouch HCI system, Active Lane Control (ALC), new Bose 14-speaker Studio on Wheels audio system, plus other onboard extras like the in-car mood light system, rear window sunshade, electronic anti-glare side mirrors, all ensure the Infiniti Q50L can meet or exceed the needs of discerning customers.
