The Return of the INFINITI Q50? | Bob Moore INFINITI

Are you also hearing things about the return of the INFINITI Q50? The latest industry reports suggest the shelved INFINITI sedan might be marking a comeback. INFINITI retired the Q50 after the 2024 model year, but the brand has since said a rear-wheel-drive sedan is headed to its lineup. If the reports hold up, the next INFINITI Q50 would pair Nissan Z power with an available manual transmission. In our guide below, we’ll cover what’s been reported, what INFINITI has confirmed, and what the last Q50 offered. While we wait for official news, you can explore INFINITI’s current SUV lineup in our new inventory at Bob Moore INFINITI in Oklahoma City!

The Return of the INFINITI Q50? What We Know About a 2028 Q50

In 2025, Kelley Blue Book covered a report from Automotive News saying INFINITI plans to deliver a second-generation, gas-powered Q50 in the second half of 2027. That timing would likely make it a 2028 Q50, though INFINITI hasn’t confirmed the model year, name, or launch date. The report says the new sedan would share its underpinnings with the Nissan Skyline, a sport sedan Nissan sells in Japan.

Power would reportedly come from the twin-turbo V6 found in the Nissan Z, rated at 400 horsepower and sent to the rear wheels. The same report mentions an available manual transmission and a possible high-performance Red trim, though both are reported, not confirmed. Nissan reportedly previewed the car for its dealers at a meeting in Las Vegas, but nothing has been shown to the public yet.

What INFINITI Has Confirmed So Far

So what’s official? INFINITI has announced that a rear-wheel-drive sedan is coming to its lineup, and Nissan has confirmed that a next-generation Skyline is on the way. Neither company has said the new sedan will carry the Q50 name, though most reports point to a Q50 return. Until INFINITI says otherwise, we’re treating it as a likely comeback. When INFINITI makes the Q50 return official, we’ll share the news with our customers in Oklahoma City right away.

A Look Back at the INFINITI Q50

The last INFINITI Q50 was the 2024 model, powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 making up to 300 horsepower in standard form. If you wanted more, the Red Sport 400 turned that same engine up to 400 horsepower and up to 350 lb-ft of torque. Available features included Dynamic Digital Suspension, paddle shifters, semi-aniline leather seats, and 19-inch wheels. Around View Monitor with Moving Object Detection was available too, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto came standard from the 2020 model year on. Can’t wait for the new sedan? A pre-owned Q50 lets you enjoy that twin-turbo V6 for less, and our used inventory is the place to check for one.
