Is There an AWD INFINITI Sedan?

The best 2023 INFINITI sedans to handle all four Ohio seasons.

For many, owning a luxury sedan is a way of saying, "I made it." Whether commuting or driving to the park, a luxury sedan makes it an authentic experience.

But let's face it: We live in Southwest Ohio. When buyers in Dayton and Centerville, OH, are shopping for a vehicle, they have to consider how it will drive in all four seasons.

That's why there is so much interest in luxury sedans that offer AWD. Luckily, INFINITI has several models available with AWD so that Dayton drivers can experience luxury all year round.

But even if you won't be driving your luxury car in the snow, AWD has other performance benefits as well. So let's look at the INFINITI sedans with AWD.

2023 INFINITI Intelligent All-Wheel Drive

What’s the difference between all-wheel-drive and INFINITI Intelligent All-Wheel-Drive? Many Ohioans are curious. All-wheel-drive generally refers to a drivetrain that can switch the non-dominant wheels on and off automatically to respond to a lack of traction. INFINITI Intelligent All-Wheel-Drive monitors wheel spin, traction, and throttle. Then, up to 50% of the vehicle’s power is diverted to the front wheels for a more fine-tuned and grippy all-wheel-drive experience. We want Ohioans to drive the best and safest there is on the market; that’s why we’re proud to sell cars equipped with INFINITI Intelligent All-Wheel-Drive.

2023 INFINITI Q50 AWD Trims

If you’re looking for a 2023 INFINITI AWD sedan, the 2023 INFINITI Q50 is your choice. This seemingly singular choice may initially seem limiting to Ohio drivers; however, with the different available trim levels for the Q50, endless options exist. While most Q50 sedans come standard with rear-wheel-drive, INFINITI offers AWD on every trim level. That means Mason, OH owners can enjoy the INFINITI Q50's sporty luxury regardless of the weather. When deciding on trim level, Ohioans don’t need to choose based on AWD availability and can instead choose based on the features they like. Luckily for you, direct adaptive steering is available on select INFINITI Q50 trims, improving performance on the road without a sacrifice in sight. Below are the features available on the current Q50 AWD trims on the market.

2023 INFINITI Q50 Pure AWD

Though bittersweet, INFINITI discontinued the Pure trim for the Q50 in 2022. What does this mean for you as a driver? It means that you’re automatically priced into a higher level of luxury if you’re looking for a sweet new AWD 2023 INFINITI Q50. Check below for the details of what you would’ve missed, including some important safety features.

2023 INFINITI Q50 Luxe AWD

The Luxe is the INFINITI Q50's entry-level trim, but it still comes standard with a 3.0l twin-turbo V6 engine at 300 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. Adding AWD takes the Luxe's driving prowess a step further. It’s important to understand, though, that with INFINITI, even entry-level means serious luxury. What could scream luxury from the rooftops more than the numerous standard features already on the INFINITI Q50 from the base model?

Standard Safety Technology on the 2023 INFINITI Q50 Luxe

One of the defining features of a luxury car is the variety of high-tech standard safety features. Whether it’s the LED light technology with automatic high beams that keep you seeing everything you need to on the road without having to lift a finger or the heated mirrors doing much the same, you’ll find that staying safe on the road is an overall effortless experience in any trim of the INFINITI Q50. Moreover, blind spot warning and lane departure prevention to make merging and lane change stresses a thing of the past.

Backing out of a parking spot has never been easier with around-view moving object detection. Around view moving object detection actively scans your surroundings and prevents collision with anything on your way out. From the front, there’s collision detection paired with automatic emergency braking, giving you warnings first so you can slow down and handling things for you to prevent as many needless fender benders as possible. If you’re using cruise control, this front-saving technology becomes even smoother with the standard adaptive cruise control, automatically adjusting your speed to a safe following distance based on the vehicles in front of you. It’s abundantly clear that if you’re in an INFINITI Q50, you’re making a safe bet.

Standard Interior Materials and Technology on the 2023 INFINITI Q50 Luxe

There are luxurious leather-appointed seats with 8-way power adjustment in the front seats. For a luxury feel, there’s not only keyless ignition but entry and remote start as well. While the audio systems are upgraded in higher trims of the Q50, the sound system on the Q50 Luxe is still excellent. It is complemented by the dual touchscreen displays integrated with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. There’s even a WiFi hotspot and automatic climate control so your passengers can ride in comfort. And lastly, so the driver is comfortable, there’s a heated steering wheel. While the Q50 Luxe is currently the base model of the INFINITI Q50, it’s still distinctly a luxury car.

2023 INFINITI Q50 Sensory

As their names suggest, the Luxe and Sensory trim levels bring even more luxury and technology to the Q50.

Like the Q50 Luxe, the Q50 Sensory comes standard with RWD and has an AWD option. It boasts the same engine as the Luxe as well. However, it offers safety tech and more luxury acromion like a Bose sound system leather interior with real wood trim. The navigation system is also updated, with 3D building structures as well as lane guidance. It also has an improved, sleek, sporty front and rear fascias. The Q50 Luxe & Sensory is the perfect combination of luxury, engineering, and the confidence of AWD.

2023 INFINITI Q50 Red Sport 400

Unlike the other models in the Q50 lineup, the Red Sport 400 comes standard with AWD. It also packs a more powerful engine that gives it its name.

Using a twin-turbo V6 engine to produce 400 horsepower and 350lb-ft of torque, the INFINITI Q50 Red Sport 400 is the undeniable top-of-the-range when it comes to AWD performance for Dayton, OH owners. It’s got downshift rev-matching and a manual shift mode for a true high-performance driving experience. If you’re looking for luxury automobiles that can rip it on the highway or the track but are safe and comfortable for the whole family, this is a good option.

Is the INFINITI Q60 a Sedan?

Technically, the Q60 is a Sport Coupe. However, Ohio drivers who want sporty luxury and don't mind the two-door configuration will be rewarded with a responsive, luxurious vehicle.

And yes, every trim level of the Q60 is also available with AWD. However, there is one sad detail about the INFINITI Q60. Unfortunately, there isn’t a 2023 INFINITI Q60. With this all in mind, many Ohioans are racing to find their own elusive Q60, especially the Red Sport 400 trim. While the loss of this beautiful INFINITI is sad truth to behold, there’s plenty available in the 2023 INFINITI Q50 lineup.
