Model & Year Overview

Infiniti Q50 Red Sport 2024

The 2024 Q50 Red Sport 400 is the final model year of the Q50 nameplate, with Infiniti Canada confirming no 2025 replacement in the near term. The twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 at 400 hp, seven-speed automatic, and standard AWD continue unchanged. The Red Sport's Brembo front brakes, Dynamic Digital Suspension, and sport-tuned chassis remain the mechanical highlights. Final-year production typically brings Canadian inventory clearance pricing β€” buyers in late 2024 reported meaningful discounts on remaining stock. As a last-year nameplate, the 2024 Q50 Red Sport occupies an unusual collector position: a high-output twin-turbo V6 sedan from a discontinued lineup, produced in limited final-year quantities. Long-term parts availability from Infiniti Canada's network and shared components with the Nissan 400Z and other Nissan Group applications support extended ownership feasibility. The outgoing twin-display infotainment is the principal concession buyers make relative to current-generation German alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions

01

What power and performance does the 2024 Infiniti Q50 Red Sport 400 deliver?

The 2024 Infiniti Q50 Red Sport 400 is equipped with the twin-turbo VR30DDTT 3.0L V6 in its maximum configuration, producing 400 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque. This engine is shared with the Q60 Red Sport coupe and represents the highest output Infiniti offers in the premium sedan segment in Canada. The 0 to 100 km/h sprint is accomplished in 4.5 seconds according to Infiniti, placing the Q50 Red Sport among the quickest sport sedans in its price bracket. The 7-speed automatic transmission is paired with standard AWD on all versions sold in Canada. The Dynamic Digital Steering (DDS) system β€” carried over from the Q50 Eau Rouge concept β€” offers three independently adjustable steering modes regardless of drive mode: Standard, Sport, and Sport+, enabling precise tuning of steering ratio and feedback to driver preference. The chassis benefits from springs lowered by 15 mm and firmer dampers compared to the standard Q50 Sport.

02

How does the 2024 Infiniti Q50 Red Sport 400 compare in value against the BMW 340i and Mercedes C43 in Canada?

The Q50 Red Sport 400 2024 is available in Canada starting at approximately $65,999 for the Pure AWD trim. The 2024 BMW 340i xDrive starts at approximately $60,900 and the 2024 Mercedes-AMG C43 4MATIC at approximately $75,900. The Q50 Red Sport offers the highest power of the three (400 hp vs 374 hp for the 340i and 402 hp for the C43) at a mid-range price. Where the Q50 falls behind is the infotainment system: Infiniti's dual-screen interface lags several generations behind BMW's iDrive 9.0 or Mercedes' MBUX. The Q50 recovers on warranty β€” Infiniti covers new vehicles for 4 years/80,000 km comprehensive and 6 years/110,000 km on the powertrain β€” more generous than BMW (4 years/80,000 km) or Mercedes (4 years/80,000 km). For Canadian buyers prioritising raw performance and entry cost over cabin technology, the Q50 Red Sport remains a compelling argument.

03

Is the 2024 Infiniti Q50 Red Sport well suited to Canadian roads and winters?

The 2024 Q50 Red Sport 400 comes standard with AWD in Canada, an advantage over the US market where rear-wheel drive is available. Torque split is 40:60 front to rear under normal conditions, shifting more rearward in Sport mode for a more dynamic feel. The 125 mm ground clearance is relatively low for a sport sedan β€” reasonable on the well-maintained snowed roads of Canadian cities, but underground parking lots and high speed bumps warrant a careful approach. The recommended winter setup includes 18-inch wheels (a possible downsize from the standard 19-inch) to find a wider selection of high-performance winter tires. Infiniti Canada offers a seasonal tire storage program at select dealerships, convenient for owners without storage space. Note: the four-piston Brembo front brake calipers are particularly prone to surface corrosion from road salt in winter β€” regular cleaning is recommended.
