ANALYSISHow safe is the 2022 Infiniti Q50?
For the 2022 model year, the Q50 achieved a perfect 100/100 on our Safety Index, a three-point increase over the 2021 model's 97/100. This improvement stems from a flawless defect record, with no recall campaigns issued, earning the maximum 20/20 in that component. Crash protection also reached its peak score of 70/70, supported by a 5-out-of-5 rollover rating and a 10 percent rollover risk. The Q50's standard-equipment forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and electronic stability control in the AWD configuration contributed to a full 10/10 in the avoidance technology component. A single owner complaint, categorized as Unknown Or Other with no reported injuries or crashes, does not indicate a safety concern. The 2022 Q50 presents one of the most robust safety profiles this desk has evaluated for a used sedan in its segment.
NCAP // CRASH TESTHow did the 2022 Infiniti Q50 perform in crash tests?
The 2022 Infiniti Q50 AWD sedan was not assigned an overall, frontal, or side star rating by NHTSA. This leaves critical gaps in the vehicle's crash-test data. The sole assessment available is the rollover test, in which the Q50 achieved 5 out of 5 stars, indicating strong performance in this specific area. The rollover risk is 10 percent, and the dynamic tip test resulted in No Tip, affirming the Q50's stability in this simulated maneuver. However, the absence of ratings in other key crash categories means its broader safety performance remains unquantified by federal data.
