The 2016 Infiniti Q50 has a bountiful standard package when it comes to technology, comfort, and driver assistance technology—and more treasures abound in the car’s higher trims configurations.
From on-road performance to in-cabin amenities, there’s very little that the 2016 Infiniti Q50 doesn’t offer—especially for original buyers who were willing to pay extra for it. But with an average used selling price of around $18,000, what exactly can you find in the interior of this luxury sedan?

2016 Infiniti Q50 interior

You can expect to find a significantly higher amount of standard technology and comfort amenities in the cabin of a luxury 2016 Infiniti Q50 than in an entry-level sedan from the same time. However, you will see a price difference for it—even on the used car lot.
Let’s take a closer look at what exactly you can expect to find in your 2016 Infiniti Q50’s interior. 

Seating

The 2016 Infiniti Q50 can comfortably seat five passengers with a more spacious second-row compared to the majority of models in its class. 
Leatherette upholstery is standard on the entry-level Q50 2.0T trim, as are dual-power front seats. But driver’s seat memory settings, lumbar support, and genuine leather upholstery were only available in package upgrades
Here are all of the 2016 Q50’s available seating upgrades and the trim levels they were offered on:
  • Leather sport seats (3.0T Premium, Sport, Red Sport 400, Hybrid)
  • Manual thigh adjustments (3.0T Premium, Sport, Red Sport 400, Hybrid)
  • Power lumbar adjustments (3.0T Premium, Sport, Red Sport 400, Hybrid)
  • Heated front seats (Hybrid)
  • Driver’s seat memory settings (Hybrid)
Conversely, you can look for an entry-level 2016 Q50 with one of Infiniti’s optional upgrade packages. Some of the seating upgrades featured in these packages include:
  • Premium Plus Package: driver’s seat memory settings, 60/40-split fold-down rear seats, driver’s seat lumbar adjustment, heated front seats
  • Technology Package: front pre-crash seat belts

Tech

From the very start, the 2016 Infiniti Q50 has a wealthy package of technology features, including dual-zone automatic climate control and a dual-screen infotainment system equipped with Infiniti’s InTouch entertainment suite. 
Standard features on all 2016 Q50 models include:
  • Bluetooth connectivity
  • Cruise control
  • Hands-free smartphone integration
  • Remote keyless entry
  • Audible text messaging
  • Proximity sensing keyless entry
  • Push-button engine start
  • InTouch smartphone interface
  • Dual touchscreen monitors
  • USB ports
  • Voice recognition software
The Q50 2.0T Premium trim added a universal garage door opener and a 14-speaker Bose Centerpoint audio system. The 3.0T and Sport trims include Infiniti’s Digital Dynamic Suspension system. Finally, the top-tier
Q50 Hybrid
trim includes the following:
  • Navigation system
  • Blind-spot monitoring
  • Forward-collision warning
  • Automatic emergency braking
Similarly, you can benefit from additional tech if you find a 2016 Q50 with one or more of Infiniti’s optional upgrade packages. Let’s take a closer look:
  • Premium Plus Package: adds auto-dimming outside mirrors, navigation system, Adaptive Shift Control, and remote engine start
  • Technology Package: adds auto-leveling adaptive headlights, high beam assist, adaptive cruise control, Distance Control Assist, advanced climate control with Plasmacluster and grape polyphenol filter, blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, and lane-keeping assist
  • Driver Assistance Package: adds forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, rain-sensing windshield wipers, surround-view camera system with moving object detection, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert

Storage

The 2016 Infiniti Q50 offers 13.2 cubic feet of cargo capacity—which is pretty spacious for a small luxury sedan. At certain trims, when the Q50’s rear seats can fold down, that space expands substantially.
