If you test-drove an Infiniti Q50S recently and came away with disappointment because its steering was lacking, you'll be happy to know the sedan will receive an upgrade, courtesy of the G37.
Car & Driver reports the hydraulic steering found in the sibling sedan will replace the base hydraulic setup when the Q50S is updated for the 2016 model year. The brand's product planning chief, Keith St. Clair, explains:
Some members of the enthusiast community, including the media, suggested the car could benefit with enhanced steering feel, as in more engagement similar to the former G Sedan Sport.
St. Clair's team built a prototype using the sedan's steering alongside exhaust system tweaks, and found the improvements impressive enough to bring the mule before the brand's top brass, leading Infiniti to find "the fastest path for adopting [the improvements] into regular production."
The Q50S will also receive styling and chassis upgrades along with the new steering and exhaust improvements, though no word has been given on whether or not Q50 or Q50S Hybrid models will also receive the G37′s hydraulic steering.
