INFINITI Q50 MPG

INFINITI Q50 Engine & Corresponding Efficiency

The first place you’ll want to start when looking into the efficiency of any vehicle is the powertrain that it’s got cookin’ under the hood. For the Q50, you’ll find a 3.0L V6 engine that pumps out 300 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. With this amount of power, you’ll certainly have plenty of muscle on those local roadways, albeit downtown streets or highway onramps.

While the engine of the Q50 stings like a bee, it is the transmission that’ll help the sedan float like a butterfly, performing with great elegance and efficiency. The Electronically controlled 7-speed automatic transmission will work to optimize force distribution, helping the sedan earn an impressive EPA-estimated 20 city/29 highway/23 combined MPG.¹

Cargo Volume and Fuel Efficiency

While the Q50 is a sedan, it does come designed with adequate cargo volume, 13.5 cubic feet of cargo volume to be exact. Whether you’ve got an overnight trip planned or have a big day of shopping coming up, you can utilize this space to store your luggage, duffel, and shopping bags alike.

As you utilize this space, you will want to make sure that you remove your items from the trunk once you have reached your destination. Each item adds a bit of weight, and while they may not add significant weight individually, the sum can prove substantial. In turn, this weight can make the vehicle work harder, burning more gas, hurting the MPG you can earn in the process.

So, removing any unnecessary weight from the vehicle’s cabin and the trunk is a surefire way to ensure you are maxing out your MPG.

Other Ways You Can Boost MPG

There are some other ways you can boost MPG, as well. For instance, using cruise control, when you can, promotes an even-keeled drive that uses gas evenly. Fortunately, the INFINITI Q50 comes standard with this feature and even offers an available Intelligent Cruise Control system with a Full-Speed Range that allows you to use the feature in a wider range of settings.

Some other practices you can undertake to boost MPG include:

• Driving conservatively
• Avoiding traffic, rush hour, and other settings with frequent stop-and-go driving patterns
• Minimizing cold engine operation
• Planning trips ahead of time
