2017 Infiniti q50 @ Chicago Auto Show. We’re not entirely sure who signed off on the 2017 Infiniti Q50 3.0t Signature Edition, and, frankly, we don’t care. Because what makes the 3.0t Signature Edition noteworthy is its $1950 discount compared with the Q50 3.0t Premium, and not the signature that presumably instigated this model. Although the Q50 Signature Edition is less expensive than the Q50 3.0t Premium, it comes standard with navigation and a 60/40 split-folding rear seat, two items that are part of the Premium’s $1650 Premium Plus package. Considering you can only get that package on the 3.0t Premium by also adding a $465 set of illuminated kick plates, the Signature Edition comes in more than $4000 cheaper. The Q50 Signature Edition does go without the Premium’s 16-speaker Bose audio system, making do instead with an unbranded six-speaker stereo. A model-specific set of 17-inch wheels is the key exterior difference between the Signature Edition and all other Q50 trims.
As the 3.0t in its name implies, the Signature Edition is motivated by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 engine that relies on a seven-speed automatic transmission to mete out its 300 horsepower. The 2017 Infiniti Q50 3.0t Signature Edition goes on sale before month’s end, priced at $39,605. Adding all-wheel drive ups the sticker to $41,605.
