US model-year question
Best year for the Infiniti Q50?
No official US dataset names one best year. Complaint volume is not a reliability score. Use the comparison and the years with more reports as research priorities, then open the year dossier and check the VIN with the official NHTSA recall search.
What the stored evidence shows
How do the early Q50 records differ?
The stored comparison has 169 complaints for the 2014 Infiniti Q50 and 125 for 2015. Steering is the largest component label for 2014; power train is the largest for 2015. The recall projection lists five campaigns for 2014 and three for 2015. Both years have an EPA combined-economy range of 22–31 MPG across the configurations in this snapshot, so matching the actual specification matters. These observations support targeted research, but they cannot select a best year without accounting for vehicle numbers, age, mileage and condition.
Next step: Compare the exact configuration and year dossiers, then check the VIN and maintenance history of the shortlisted car.

Historical snapshot: complaint/EPA comparison generated ; recall projection generated . These summaries do not establish current recall status. Sources and methods.
The records cannot name a best Infiniti Q50 year.
Complaint totals have no sales, mileage or age denominator. Recall campaign counts are official actions, not a quality ranking. Years with more reports to inspect: 2014, 2015, 2017.
Shortlist years only after comparing the complete matrix and opening their individual dossiers. Then verify the exact VIN, recall-remedy status, service history, mileage and condition. An independent inspection can reveal faults that a national complaint or recall dataset cannot describe for one particular vehicle.

Peak comparison scale is this nameplate only (169). This is not a reliability score.
