I drove a $60,000 Infiniti Q50 Red Sport 400 all-wheel-drive sport sedan to find out if it could combine luxury, tech, and fun — here's the verdict

Let us now ponder the Infiniti question.
  • I tested a 2020 Infiniti Q50 Red Sport 400, with all-wheel-drive.
  • The sport sedan from Nissan's luxury brand cost $56,250 before options, which took the price to $60,475.
  • The Q50 Red Sport's best feature is its punchy, 400-horsepower, twin-turbocharged V6 engine.
  • Otherwise, the Q50 has a dated interior and styling that while relatively elegant, isn't especially attention-getting.

About seven years ago, I was picking up my 1998 Saab 900S from yet another visit to the mechanic and concluding that I needed a new, daily driver for those weeks when I wasn't testing a car.

I wanted something that would always start, had four doors, wasn't an SUV, and was fun to drive.

My choices boiled down to an Acura and an Infiniti. And I was leaning Infiniti, because I wanted rear-wheel-drive. I ended up moving back to the New York area from Los Angeles, no longer needed a daily driver, and bought a Toyota Prius instead as a vehicular backup.

Still, I recall that missed Infiniti opportunity. So whenever I have the chance to review an Infinti now, I ask myself: "Would I or wouldn't I?

That question arose again when I spent a few days with an Infiniti Q50 Red Sport 400.
