Efficient 3.5-liter hybrid models of the 2014 Infiniti Q50 Hybrid begin at $43,700 for the Premium, $45,500 for the Q50 Hybrid Premium AWD, $46,100 for the Q50 Hybrid Sport and $47,900 for the Q50 Hybrid Sport AWD. These prices also do not include destination fees.

As unveiled in Detroit last month, the 2014 Infiniti Q50 sports sedan heralds distinctive design, excellent performance, and high-end options for this premium brand. As Infinit's flagship sedan, it is aimed towards a younger audience with discerning tastes who prefer performance and efficiency with their luxury.

The interior cockpit is dominated by the dual touch screens of the advanced InTouch communications and infotainment system. Standard features include hands-free phone connectivity and smart phone collaboration. Performance in the 2014 Q50 comes from the 328 horsepower 3.7-liter V6 while the Q50 Hybrid offers intelligent Dual Clutch Control for smart energy management without sacrificing the performance feel.
