CarHub · Infiniti
The Infiniti Q50 is a compact executive sedan that offers something genuinely different in a class dominated by German badges.
Model profile
The Q50 (chassis V37) launched for the 2014 model year, replacing the well-loved G37 sedan and adopting Infiniti's new Q naming. Early cars offered a naturally aspirated 3.7-litre V6 and a hybrid, plus a 2.0-litre turbo four sourced from Mercedes. From the 2016 model year Infiniti introduced its own 3.0-litre twin-turbo VR30 V6 in two states of tune, including the range-topping Red Sport 400.
Powertrain and equipment
The headline engines are the VR30DDTT 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6, offered at around 300 hp (3.0t) and around 400 hp in the Red Sport 400 — a serious output for the class.
The Q50 is a four-door sedan only; the two-door version was sold separately as the Q60. US trims evolved through Pure, Luxe, Sport and Red Sport 400 designations, with the Sensory and ProAssist/ProActive packages adding technology on later cars.
Vehicle selection
Supply is strong. The Q50 sold well across a long run, so used cars are readily available from roughly 2014 onward, spanning a wide range of mileages and equipment. The 3.0t and Red Sport 400 make up much of the enthusiast interest, while 2.0t and earlier 3.7 cars offer value.

Pre-purchase review
The Q50's mechanical story depends on the engine. The older VQ37 3.7 V6 is a proven, robust unit with a long track record, though it likes oil and benefits from regular changes.
Germany and Europe
Infiniti no longer operates in most of Europe, so servicing runs through Nissan specialists and US parts channels — mechanically the Q50 shares a great deal with Nissan products, which helps.
US-market headlights use the FMVSS/SAE beam pattern, which differs from the ECE pattern required in the EU, so they may need adjustment or replacement with ECE-compliant units for registration.
USCar Trader services
As a buyer based in Germany, you do not have to inspect the vehicle yourself in the United States or Canada. Within the agreed scope, USCar Trader can coordinate document review, a separately commissioned on-site inspection and purchase processing.
Covered inspection points are agreed in advance. An on-site inspection records condition at the appointment and is not a guarantee.
Next step: Before commissioning, USCar Trader and the customer agree which document, history, inspection and transaction checks suit the vehicle and are included in the service. This records what was actually checked.
Import process
The assessment depends on the specific vehicle and the circumstances of the transaction. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review any possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are considered separately.
Questions and answers
Yes. As Infiniti left most of Europe, importing is often the only route, and a used Q50 can be registered in Germany after customs clearance and approval.
No, not automatically. A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU. CETA may apply to a vehicle with preferential Canadian origin. Whether the requirements are met is assessed for the individual case. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review the possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are assessed separately.
Import VAT and other taxes or costs are assessed separately under the applicable rules and the circumstances of the individual case. A blanket answer for every vehicle would not be reliable.
The Red Sport 400 is the enthusiast pick for its 400 hp twin-turbo V6; the 3.0t offers similar character for less, and the 3.7 is a smooth, proven alternative.
The 3.7 V6 is very durable; the early VR30 twin-turbo needs checks for coolant and oil issues, so verify maintenance and model year.
Through Nissan specialists and US channels. The Q50 shares much with Nissan, which eases servicing despite Infiniti's absence here.
Usually a few weeks for shipping plus clearance and approval, depending on port schedules.
