The new Infiniti Q50 sports saloon will make its debut at the Geneva Motor Show on 5 March.

Marking the start of a new-generation of Infiniti Q models, the Q50 includes the first fruit of the co-operation agreement with alliance partner Daimler AG.

"The Infiniti Q50 is a world-class sports saloon with an engine line-up that will clearly demonstrate its intentions to be a major player within the European premium market," said Bernard Loire, Vice President, Infiniti Africa, Middle East and Europe (AMIE).

Making its first public appearance outside the US, where it had its world debut in Detroit in January, the Infiniti Q50 heralds a new design direction for the Infiniti range - all of which in future will bear a Q for saloons and coupes or QX badge for crossovers and SUVs.

The Q50 features the world's first Direct Adaptive Steering technology. Further details of Direct Adaptive Steering (DAS) will be revealed in Geneva.
