Infiniti Q50 data analysis
How Infiniti Q50 NHTSA rollover risk varies
Across 15 configurations recorded for the 2017 through 2024 Infiniti Q50, NHTSA rollover risk runs from 0.1% to 0.1%. The strongest figure belongs to the 2024 Infiniti Q50 (2024 Infiniti Q50 4 DR AWD) at 0.1%, and the weakest to the 2017 car (2017 Infiniti Q50 4 DR RWD) at 0.1% — a spread of 0%. The narrow spread means any year of the Infiniti Q50 in this table behaves much like the others, so you can shop on price, condition and mileage rather than chasing a particular model year.
What changed for 2024
Average NHTSA rollover risk for the 2024 Infiniti Q50 is 0.1%, against 0.1% for the 2023 car — it held flat. A carry-over year like this usually means no powertrain or structural change, so an older example is the cheaper way into the same specification.
How to read this Infiniti Q50 data
This page lists every 2017 through 2024 Infiniti Q50 record we hold for this measurement — 15 rows in total, one per configuration and model year rather than a single headline figure. Figures are published as the source agency records them: we do not round, average or interpolate missing years, and a year that is absent from the table is a year with no published measurement rather than a zero. Where a manufacturer offered several drivetrains or body styles in the same year, each appears on its own row, because those variants rarely share the same numbers.
Configurations behind these Infiniti Q50 numbers
The 2017 through 2024 Infiniti Q50 entries here cover variants including 2024 Infiniti Q50 4 DR AWD, 2024 Infiniti Q50 4 DR RWD, 2023 Infiniti Q50 4 DR AWD, 2023 Infiniti Q50 4 DR RWD, 2022 Infiniti Q50 4 AWD, 2022 Infiniti Q50 4 RWD, 2021 Infiniti Q50 4 DR AWD and 2021 Infiniti Q50 4 DR RWD. 2024 is the busiest model year in the record with 2 separate measured configurations, which is why a single quoted NHTSA rollover risk figure for that year is rarely the one that matches the car in front of you. Match the row to the exact drivetrain, body style and engine on the window sticker or VIN before relying on the number, and use the comparison links below to see how those same configurations line up against rival models.
Where these Infiniti Q50 figures come from
Every value on this page is loaded from federal open data — EPA fuel economy submissions, NHTSA vehicle and crash-test records, and manufacturer specification filings — rather than dealer listings or copied editorial content. The Infiniti Q50 record refreshes as the agencies publish, which typically means new model-year rows appear in the autumn and crash-test results follow through the model year as vehicles are tested. Because certification data is filed per configuration, treat any single headline number for this vehicle with caution: the figure that applies to a specific car depends on its engine, drivetrain, body style and model year, all of which are listed separately above. If a number here disagrees with a brochure, the brochure is usually quoting the best available configuration rather than the one being sold.
How the 2024 Infiniti Q50 scored
NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program rates the 2024 Infiniti Q50 at 5 stars for rollover resistance. Its calculated rollover risk is 0.1% — the probability the agency's model assigns to a rollover in a single-vehicle crash. Stars are awarded against the test protocol in force for that model year and are not comparable across a protocol change, so read a year's rating against other vehicles of the same year rather than against an older or newer version of the same car.
Driver-assistance equipment and how to read this record
NHTSA records the 2024 Infiniti Q50 as offering electronic stability control, forward collision warning, lane departure warning. Availability means the system was fitted or offered on the model year, not that every individual car has it — options and trim levels vary. This page covers 15 tested configurations across 2017–2024, one row per body style and model year the agency has published. Where a field is blank the vehicle was not tested for that measure rather than scoring zero, and configurations are never merged, because a front-wheel-drive and an all-wheel-drive version of the same nameplate are separate tests.
