Fuel Economy and Driving Range Rating:
Despite offering a hybrid powertrain, the Q50 is among the less efficient vehicles in this comparison across all three of its available engines.
It may be available in a wide range of powertrains, but the Q50 garnered no impressive fuel-economy ratings. Rear-wheel-drive models do 1 or 2 mpg better across the board than their all-wheel-drive counterparts, but in each case a few direct competitors post better EPA ratings. At 27 mpg, the hybrid Q50 has the best EPA city ratings of the cars assembled here, but its emphasis on power versus efficiency means that several four-cylinder nonhybrid competitors earned better EPA highway ratings than the Q50 hybrid’s 32 mpg.

We’ve devised our own fuel-economy test in an attempt to replicate how most people drive on the highway. Our procedure entails a 200-mile out-and-back loop on Michigan’s I-94 highway. We maintain a GPS-verified 75 mph and use the cruise control as much as possible to mimic the way many drivers behave during long trips. A V-6 Q50 exactly met expectations during our real-world testing, matching its 27-mpg EPA highway rating. That’s slightly better than we did in a Kia Stinger and a Jaguar XE, and the Q50’s 20.0-gallon fuel tank makes it one of the best highway cruisers of this bunch.
