Infiniti Q50 sports sedan fitted with Daimler four-cylinder diesel engine

Infiniti’s latest model, the Q50 premium sports sedan, will be fitted with a four-cylinder 2.2 liter diesel engine from Daimler AG. The new model, which goes on sale across Europe starting this autumn, is the first Infiniti model to benefit from the three-year strategic cooperation with the German automaker.

The 2.2-litre direct-injection four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine has been modified by the Infiniti engineering teams to ensure engine response is in line with Infiniti’s emphasis on performance. The engine offers power and torque whilst retaining a low CO2 output (under 115g/km) which positions the Q50 at the centre of the premium saloon market in Europe – as well as guaranteeing the dynamic drive Infiniti owners expect. Like the engine, both available transmissions – a 6-speed manual and 7-speed automatic – have been tailored to Infiniti’s specific requirements.
 
The Q50, which was on display at Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland in March, is expected to compete with the likes of the BMW 3-series and the Audi A4 class.
