This is the car that could make or break Infiniti's long term chances here in the UK, a market where so far it has struggled to rise to the high standards it sets itself. To say the infiniti Q50 is an incredibly important car for the brand would be a gross understatement.It's not underestimating the task ahead though, and while it realises that nine out of ten cars sold in this segment carry a German badge on their nose, the Japanese firm believes its mix of technology, luxury and efficiency will be enough to drive sales from bit-player to a viable but individual choice.There is the choice of a 2.2-litre diesel engine or a 3.5-litre petrol engine with hybrid technology dubbed Direct Response. The diesel engine will be the popular choice for the UK, especially among company car drivers thanks to CO2 emissions that start from 114g/km.Claimed fuel consumption is also competitive with an average of 64mpg, though in our experience that figure was closer to 46-48mpg. The 3.5-litre hybrid version packs 359bhp and makes the 0-62mph dash in an even quicker 5.1 seconds with emissions of 145g/km of CO2. Unlike the rear-wheel drive only diesel, the petrol car can be specified with the firm's four-wheel drive system as an option.Infiniti is taking the fight to the premium German brands with a driving experience it hopes will appeal to enthusiasts, offering a choice of six-speed manual gearbox and seven-speed automatic, and what Infiniti claims is an industry first: Direct Adaptive steerin 12V Power Outlet - Centre Console, 17in Alloy Wheels - 5 Double Spoke Light, 40-60 Split-Folding Rear Seat Back, 6 Speaker Sound System, ABS - Anti-Lock Braking System, Active Noise Control - ANC, Active Trace Control, Airbags - Curtain Front and Rear, Airbags - Driver, Airbags - Front Hip-Thorax Side, Airbags - Front Passenger, AM-FM Audio System with Single CD Player, Armrest - Front with Storage Compartment, Automatic Headlight Activation, Bluetooth Audio Streaming, Bluetooth for Mobile Connectivity, Body Colour Door Mirrors with LED Turnin, Brake Assist, Climate Control - Dual Zone Adaptive wit, Cruise Control, Daytime Running Lights, Door Mirrors - Heated with Power Operati, Drive Mode
