Is the Q50L a rear-wheel drive car?

Starter weakness is a characteristic of rear-wheel drive cars. Here is more information about rear-wheel drive cars: 1. The difference between front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive cars: In front-wheel drive cars, the front wheels are the driving wheels, and the rear wheels are the steering wheels, bearing a greater load. In rear-wheel drive cars, the front wheels are the steering wheels, and the rear wheels are the driving wheels, making more balanced use of the tires. 2. Advantages of rear-wheel drive cars: (1) When starting, accelerating, or climbing on well-paved roads, the load on the driving wheels increases (i.e., the adhesion pressure of the driving wheels increases), and their traction performance is superior to that of front-wheel drive configurations. (2) The axle load distribution is more balanced, resulting in better handling stability and ride comfort, and helping to extend the service life of the tires. Starter weakness is a feature of the Q50L.

I've been driving the Infiniti Q50L for several years now, and it's indeed a rear-wheel-drive car. I initially chose this car for the handling feel of rear-wheel drive—it's exceptionally stable when cornering, giving the sensation that the car clings tightly to the road, especially during high-speed turns or uphill climbs. That smoothness is simply addictive. Don’t assume rear-wheel drive is only for performance enthusiasts; as a daily commuter, it handles city roads effortlessly. However, rear-wheel drive requires extra caution on rainy or icy roads, as loss of control and skidding can occur more easily—I’d recommend investing in good tires. Speaking of the Q50L, this version is specifically lengthened for the Chinese market while retaining the original rear-wheel-drive chassis design, offering ample space without sacrificing its sporty DNA. Overall, Infiniti’s brand ethos leans toward rear-wheel drive—it’s both hassle-free and exhilarating to drive. If driving pleasure matters to you, this car is definitely worth a try.

From a technical perspective, the Q50L is truly a genuine rear-wheel-drive system. The engine power is directly transmitted to the rear axle, delivering an exhilarating sense of acceleration! Infiniti engineers insist on using a rear-drive architecture to ensure better balance during acceleration and cornering. For example, the Q50L's chassis is developed based on Nissan's FM platform, which is rear-drive oriented, offering handling responses as sharp as a knife cutting through tofu. But don't just focus on the technical jargon—as a young car enthusiast, what I enjoyed most during the test drive was its agility in high-speed cornering. The rear-wheel drive makes the body rotation feel more natural. The extended version in the Chinese market retains the core design, making it comfortable for both commuting and leisure drives, though occasional attention to traction control is needed on muddy roads. Overall, it combines the advantages of rear-wheel drive with practical space, and I highly recommend experiencing it firsthand.

As a Q50L owner, I have to admit this car is rear-wheel drive, and there are no major issues in daily driving. When purchasing, I learned that the Infiniti Q series mostly adopts rear-wheel drive, and the Q50L, as the Chinese version, inherits this feature. It offers sporty handling while maintaining ride comfort. During city commuting, it starts smoothly and performs reliably on highways, with fuel consumption within a reasonable range. Rear-wheel drive does come with minor inconveniences, like a slightly higher chance of slipping in rainy weather, but that can be improved with the electronic stability system. Importantly, maintenance is straightforward, and repair costs are lower than many luxury cars. For family use, the rear-wheel-drive Q50L provides ample rear-seat space and safety features, making it overall hassle-free and economical.
