Data suplied by euroNCAP
The Infiniti Q50 was introduced in Australia and New Zealand in 2014. This ANCAP safety rating applies to all two-wheel-drive (2WD) variants.
In the offset crash test driver and passenger chest protection was acceptable. In the side impact crash test driver protection was good. Head protection in the side pole test was good. Euro NCAP noted a problem with side airbag deployment in the pole test but this does not affect the ANCAP rating.
Note: The 2WD diesel left-hand-drive European model was tested by Euro NCAP. ANCAP was provided with information which showed that the results also apply to all 2WD variants.

The Q50 is equipped with an 'active' bonnet. Test results showed good or adequate protection to a pedestrian's head over the whole bonnet surface with a few poor results recorded on the stiff windscreen pillars. The protection provided by the bumper to pedestrians' legs was good in some areas and marginal in others. The protection provided by the front edge of the bonnet was poor in all of the areas tested and the car scored no points in this area.
