This car will be on March 1 was first shown at the Geneva Motor Show. Previously we have tried Infiniti enthusiasm for this tank through a vague teaser, but now we can already get a good first impression of what Infiniti will bring us forward in the segment of premium small cars. And to put it mildly, if they do this in the market can sometimes be very difficult for Infiniti to 1 Series and A3 to convince customers.

The car as we see him here, were still in the concept and shows the design direction the Japanese brand wants to follow in the coming years. According to Infiniti, it is "a coupe, a sedan, a hatchback and a crossover in a sculptural form reminiscent of an MPV." BLEND so many flavors, and is often "get used".

Infiniti M35h warns pedestrians - Live Los Angeles 2010

Infiniti will bring the available spring 2011 M35h equipped with a pedestrian warning system on the market. It consists of a computer-controlled synthesizer board in the front bumper and a built-in speaker. The VSP (Approaching Vehicle Sound for Pedestrians) said system is activated when you start off in electric mode and automatically switches off at speeds above 30 km / h from again. Slows the M35h its journey, it switches the VSP automatically at 25 km / h again.

To search for the most effective yet unobtrusive sound of an extensive research program was conducted. Were taken into account the various aspects, including behavior of pedestrians and noise. Infiniti at the end was a sound pattern with variable pitch and volume in preference to a single tone. The result is a sine wave with a frequency of 2.5 kHz and 600 Hz, these frequencies are for people of all ages and groups are heard and felt to be disturbing at the same time outside the area (around 1000 Hz).

The change between high and low tone frequency is dependent on vehicle speed and whether the Infiniti M35h just accelerates or decelerates. The largest sound volume when the bike is used, while the system produces an intermittent sound when reversing. Both sounds are specifically selected to be alert visually impaired pedestrians and passers-by on the M35h.

Although the M35h can drive alone with his zero-emission electric drive quickly up to 80 km / h, is at speeds above 30 km / h, the noise levels loud enough to be able to dispense with the VSP. In developing the hybrid model, Toyota found that the M35h in mixed driving, about half the time only can drive with electric drive.

Infiniti is different from other manufacturers, not least the fact that it gives all its models an extremely rich standard equipment for the journey. So it is only logical that the European sales start in spring 2011 (by Country) M35h each comes standard with VSP. The pedestrian warning system complements the M35h a comprehensive package of innovative security systems, including the premium in all versions as standard built-in Dynamic Safety Shield package.

The M35h combines a 225 kW / 306 hp 3.5-liter V6 gasoline engine and a 50 kW / 68 hp electric motor payable to accelerate the Ininiti in under 5.9 seconds from zero to 100 mph. The model will operate in spite of its sporty performance, more often, longer and faster than conventional hybrid vehicles with electric drive alone. As a provisional standard average consumption is 7.3 liters per Infiniti of 100 kilometers.

Infiniti will make the 3-door hatchback

Infiniti announced that it will be presented in Geneva in March next year, the concept of a new three-door hatchback.
According to the magazine Autocar, the production version will be ready very soon and will be out this autumn in Frankfurt or Tokyo.


"What we will show in Geneva is something quite special, it will be different from everything we've done," said a representative of Infiniti to UK edition. He explains that "the new model is a small car that will exceed all expectations."


According to unconfirmed data, the design was developed in the studio of Infiniti in London, and what we will see in Geneva will be very close to the production model.

It is expected that the three-door hatchback and Infiniti will be assembled on the platform for cars with front-wheel drive from Mercedes-Benz A-Class new generation. This became possible after the cooperation agreement between Daimler and the alliance Renault-Nissan.


The same platform will be used for a new compact crossover of the alliance. Future hatchback Infiniti will receive from Daimler and engines, petrol and diesel by 4 and 6 cylinder.

Infiniti G Convertible Concept IPL Live Paris Auto Show 2010

Here's a concept that should appeal to fans of Infiniti! The branch of Nissan's luxury manufacturer exhibits in Hall 1, G Cabrio IPL with 3 initials mean 'Infiniti Performance Line'. No wonder if its 3.7 liter V6 delivers power 338ch or 18hp more than the standard version. As for his speed, not curbed, it is over 270km per hour! Aesthetically the coupe cabriolet Japanese camped on its wheels 19 "set on a black light shade decorated with a hint of red in total harmony with the Monaco Red leather.

Paris 2010: 2011 Infiniti G37 Convertible gets the IPL workup

Infiniti continues to roll out its new Infiniti Performance Line, IPL, and naturally the next vehicle to get the sporty kit is the G37 Convertible. The 2011 Infiniti IPL G Convertible lines up next to the already-revealed IPL G Coupe and shares the same aggressive body kit and stylish 19-inch, seven-spoke graphite wheels.

We suspect power will be slightly down compared to the IPL G Coupe, much like how the standard G coupe is slightly more powerful than its respective convertible counterpart. Pricing has yet to be announced as this is technically a concept, but with the IPL G Coupe trickling up to the $50K mark we expect the convertible to cross that threshold.

Moscow has hosted the European premiere of the new Infiniti QX

Japanese premium carmaker Infiniti introduced the project set up in Moscow international motor show full-size SUV Infiniti QX second generation.

The new SUV is equipped with a V8 engine capacity of 5.6 liters with a system of variable valve timing and degree of opening of valves (VVEL), as well as direct injection for gasoline engines (DIG). It develops maximum power of 405 hp and aggregated with advanced seven-speed automatic transmission. The car is equipped with Infiniti Navigation System with built-in hard drive, monitor Omnidirection Around View and dual-channel audio Bose. Sales of the model will start simultaneously with the premiere of an SUV.

In addition, under the motor show the Russian premiere Infiniti M sedan, the third generation.

2011 Infiniti Cars M35h Sports Sedan The "Driver's" Hybrid

The “driver’s hybrid” from Infiniti, the M35h sports sedan, will introduce world-first steering and braking technologies when it goes on sale in the USA and Europe in 2011. The company calls the M35h a "driver's hybrid," with innovations in both steering and braking technologies designed to blend fuel efficiency with driving feel. As the first in-house hybrid from Nissan/Infiniti, the M35h is pretty unassuming. Indeed, although the test cars we drove in Japan were covered with decals advertising their gasoline-electricness, small “hybrid” badges on the production models’ front fenders will be the biggest powertrain giveaway once the cars arrive stateside next spring.

The Infiniti’s single electric motor is located between the engine and automatic transmission, in place of a conventional torque converter. The 67-hp motor is connected to the crankshaft via a wet-plate clutch. This allows the M to use its 1.3-kWh, 340-volt lithium-ion battery pack for electric-only propulsion at speeds up to about 60 mph as long as the driver keeps throttle application below 20 percent.

The 2011 Infiniti sports sedan M35h uses a 3.5-litre petrol V6 and a 68 PS (50 kW) electric motor for propulsion while power is put to the ground via a seven-speed automatic gearbox. The brakes are similarly designed primarily to suit sports sedan buyers’ needs, but at the same time contributing to the lower carbon footprint of the M35h, low CO2 champion of Infiniti’s all-new M Line sports sedan line-up.

Central to this is its one motor/two clutch system. The first clutch is installed between the naturally-aspirated 3.5-litre V6 and the electric motor, which is embedded within the automatic transmission. The electronically controlled clutch allows the full decoupling of the V6 when the car is in electric drive and power regeneration modes. Decoupling the V6 reduces mechanical drag and boosts the efficiency of the electric motor.

Aided by an exceptionally fast charge/discharge response from the lithium-ion battery pack, the result is a hybrid that’s electrically powered for more of the time, and at higher speeds, than conventional hybrids.

Infiniti’s sports sedan first hybrid, the M35h is the low CO2 star of the all-new M Line which also includes petrol and diesel models and which is the first M ever to be sold in all of Infiniti’s 34 world markets.

 2011 Infiniti Cars M35h Sports Sedan The "Driver's" Hybrid

Among the Infiniti M’s many other claims to fame are the world-first Blind Spot Intervention (BSI), state-of-the-art Forest Air climate control and Active Noise Control, while comfort and luxury are taken care of with double-piston dampers and the availability of semi-aniline leather in the spacious cabin.

Extensive details regarding these two innovations are available in the press release and Inifiniti said it will sell the M35h sports sedan on all of their 34 world markets. M35h sports sedan sales start in spring 2011, depending on market.

Mark Infiniti introduced the first model of "sports" line of IPL

In addition to a special body kit body, which includes new bumpers, sill covers and rear spoiler, coupe G37 IPL will also receive a number of technical improvements. In particular, the power of 3.7-liter V6 engine after installing a new exhaust system and upgrading the engine control unit will increase by 20 horsepower (to 352 power).

In addition, the limited-slip rear axle appeared limited slip differential, and suspension - more stringent shock absorbers and springs. Upgrades have been set and the steering compartment.

The dynamic characteristics of the modified versions Infiniti G37 is not specified.

The cost of improvements is not known. Moreover, while IPL package will be offered only in the U.S. - in the European market line Infiniti Performace Line will appear later.

2011 Infiniti Cars IPL G Coupe With New Performance

Nissan's luxury division has unveiled the 2011 Infiniti IPL G Coupe, with new performance coupe, and for those that want to see the car in the flesh should attend the 60th edition Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. The first production vehicle from this group, the 348-horsepower 2011 Infiniti Performance Line G Coupe. It joins the Infiniti line of performance luxury vehicles at Infiniti retailers nationwide in December. Infiniti is heading down the road already strafed by the likes of BMW's M division, Mercedes-Benz' AMG sub-brand, and Audi's S and RS offspring, with a new performance badge dubbed IPL.

The IPL G Coupe's enhanced performance comes from the synergetic effects of three technology areas – engine tuning, dynamic tuning and sound quality/acceleration feel tuning. Engine performance modifications were selected not only for increased horsepower and torque levels, but also for acceleration feel and exhaust sound without compromising fuel economy or noise standards.

The IPL G Coupe's advanced VQ37HR 3.7-liter V6 engine management system has been recalibrated through air-fuel mixture and ignition timing optimization, raising the maximum horsepower output point to 7,400 rpm (from 7,000 rpm). To obtain a natural acceleration feel, the torque curve from low revs to the maximum torque point (5,200 rpm) was tuned for linearity. As a result of both the exhaust system and engine management changes, the IPL G Coupe generates 348 horsepower – an increase of 18 horsepower over the non-IPL models – and 276 lb-ft of torque (+6 lb-ft).

For better handling and road grip the 2011 Infiniti IPL G Coupe also comes with a stiffer suspension, upgraded brakes with ventilated discs on all 4-wheels plus aluminum-alloy 4-piston brake calipers at the front and 2-piston opposed rear calipers.

"When you drive the IPL G Coupe, the first thing you notice is the surge in sound and acceleration feel. The inspiring swell of sound is in complete harmony with the acceleration feel as engine speed increases," said Poore. "The sound is clean and inspiring, adding to the fun-to-drive sensation provided by the 348 horsepower under the hood.

2011 Infiniti Cars IPL G Coupe With New Performance

The closest G to the IPL in today’s lineup is the G37 Sport, which comes similarly equipped to the new IPL G Coupe and starts at $41,275 with a manual transmission. The IPL has more standard features and the more powerful engine, which leads us to believe that it will wear a price tag just north of $46,000 when it goes on sale in December.

A mysterious teaser announcing a new Infiniti model

Infiniti to launch in the coming years a completely new model. A teaser posted on the official site of the Japanese wakes speculation on potential M Coupe.

Launch price : Infiniti M37 is to be had from 50,000 €

Coming soon is the Infiniti M37 also to Europe. So far, the sedan, which competes in the upper-middle class against BMW 5 series, Mercedes E-class and Co., only offered in the United States. There are now also determine the prices of the M37 to the German market - it starts at 50,000 euros.

The M37 is available in five different trim levels. The unnamed basic version will cost at least € 49,650 and comes standard with seven-speed automatic, bi-xenon headlamps, electrically adjustable front seats and a ten-fold rear view camera. Also on board sound system with a hard disk. About the new "Drive Mode Selector" can be, depending on driving style and traffic conditions, the four different sports programs, Normal, select snow and Eco.

The M37 GT is available from € 53 250 and has a semi-aniline leather upholstery, heated and cooled front seats and a silver powder coating for the deposits of white ash. For the M37 S at least € 55 750 should be located. Here, the active all-wheel steering 4WAS, sports suspension, heated and cooled sport seats, shift paddles on the steering wheel and 20-inch wheels are included.

Infiniti New Front Wheel Drive Coupe

If ever there was a premium brand with an identity crisis, it’s Infiniti. Originally, they were conceived as Nissan’s answer to Lexus. A few years of working this angle produced some disappointing cars (does anyone remember the G20 or the J30?) and even more disappointing sales results. Cars that really did rock (the Q45, for example, or later, the M45) didn’t sell particularly well despite Infitniti’s attempts to reposition themselves as a performance and luxury brand. We Americans didn’t seem to understand the marque until Infiniti finally hit their stride with the G35 series of sedans and coupes, which offered a good blend of performance, luxury and affordability.

Now it seems they’re out to confuse us again, this time by announcing a front wheel drive coupe to compete against Audi’s A3. Past Infiniti models such as the G20 or the I30 were FWD, but that was before Infiniti reinvented themselves as a performance oriented luxury brand. Of course they sell the occasional SUV, too, so maybe we need to think of them as a full line manufacturer who offers performance, luxury and versatility in their product mix. I’d just like some direction on what order those adjectives should be in.

In any case, the new FWD coupe will be designed for the Euopean market, so we may not even see it on this side of the pond. It will be smaller than their current G series, and MotorAuthority tells us it will take styling cues from last year’s Essence concept car. I’d expect the new FWD Infiniti to focus more on luxury and technology than on outright performance, but it’s far too early to tell what direction the automaker will go in. This time.

Infiniti QX56 2011, against all odds / full detail specs price pictures

In recent years, sales of full-size SUVs have largely declined, even in the segment of large luxury SUVs. The Infiniti QX56 is also among the victims, especially when one notes that only about 160 units were sold in Canada last year. Is there still a hope to generate a profitable level of sales for manufacturers? Infiniti took the bet yes and introduced in 2011 the second generation of its luxury SUVs.

This is somewhat surprising. One would have expected to abandon the model much more than a revival since the context is not likely to change for this type of vehicle. However, there is no denying that it remains a market for large luxury SUVs, especially the United States and with a number of players falling steadily, the market shares can still get interesting. That's what Infiniti intends to do. But leaders of the luxury brand of Nissan are not duped, they know very well that the QX remain a niche vehicle and the volume of sale will not extraordinary.

Based on this observation, Infiniti wants to restore the prestige of its QX relying mainly on two factors, the comfort and style. Forget the old speeches that were to present these luxury SUVs as real animals off-road. This time, we want to stomach the idea of a vehicle designed for families (we will add easy), enjoying the comfort and space. In short, the QX56 is intended as a long-haul truck capable of towing up to 8500 lbs.


The choice of model is quite simple. The 2011 QX56 is available in two versions, the QX56 4WD QX56 7 Passenger 4WD and 8 passengers. Our neighbors to the south they are also able to control the QX56 in two wheel drive version. Under the hood, a single engine or a 5.6-liter V8, the same team that the new V8 M56 sedan. However, this engine has been modified to accommodate an SUV, which explains its lower power, 400 horsepower instead of 420 in the case of M. However, power and excellent torque of 413 lb-ft more linear, which helps the vehicle's performance, particularly when towing. Much more modern than the old 5.6-liter V8, this engine provides better fuel economy thanks in particular to variable valve timing and direct injection. This engine is married to a seven-speed automatic transmission, the only proposed.

Fully redesigned this year, the QX56 enjoys a whole new platform and does not share anything with the Nissan Armada. Infiniti is now using the platform of the Nissan Patrol, which explains the new dimensions of the QX56 2011. The vehicle is lower (73 mm), wider than 28 mm while its length increased by 35mm. In terms of style, difficult to confuse this new generation with the old. It must be admitted that the builder did a good job at that level while the QX inherits a style much more fluid and dynamic. It recognizes some rear styling cues borrowed from the Cube, but the inspiration comes from the overall concept vehicle gasoline. The front of the grid inherits double arches, while the hood, similar to the FX and the new M, includes a wave pattern with fenders. The vents functional, integrated into the wings, also add a nice touch. The style element that is most revealing and poise that puts the vehicle in front is undoubtedly the 20-inch wheels (or 22 inch optional).

The interior incorporates the concept of a private jet with ample space and comfort for seven or eight passengers, depending on your configuration. In this chapter, you can opt for the second row captain's chairs, including a large center console or bench that can accommodate an extra passenger, but in return he will be deprived of the console. The passenger front and second row enjoy plenty of space and clearance, while the third row passengers will be a little more cramped. The highest seat space to amputate the head. However, even with passengers in the rear, there is a reasonable cargo space.

Difficult to criticize anything in terms of quality and attention to detail. The dashboard is clean and the various controls are simple to understand and use. The interior exudes luxury and this chapter, Infiniti has always known how to do. Audiophiles will also be filled by the system, Bose 13-speaker.

On the road
The 5.6-liter engine provides good acceleration and enjoys a rich sound. The 400 horsepower is enough to move vigorously QX56, but with a weight of about 2500 kg, this power is not too much. In driving dynamics, he appreciates the work of the seven-speed box, so that management is relatively accurate. It notes cons of weight transfer sizeable common for this type of vehicle, but may be reduced if the buyer opts for a model equipped with the technology package, the latter receiving a hydraulic motion compensation. This system, located between the chassis and suspension system uses a transfer fluid that compensates for excessive roll or pitch.

Infiniti boasts towing capability of its QX65 and presents it as a tow vehicle luxury. True with a towing capacity of 8500 lbs, it's even one of the highest for this type of vehicle. The buyer will fall back to a van to get better. Good point also for the trailer hitch that can be hidden entirely last panel, which does not affect the style of the QX56. However, all is not perfect. Shape up while the side mirrors do not favor the tow (we expect to have larger mirrors or stretched) then it will take you back on the props to equip the vehicle with a brake control power.

Noting that the 2011 QX56 is not for everyone and some people do need a spacious vehicle and capable, it must be admitted that Infiniti QX offers a well that meets this requirement. Fans of the genre have little to do with recriminations.via

Infiniti M Coupe leaked first sketch

Placing on the carpet this week, the idea of a coupe Infiniti M was born vague rumors more or less justified. We can now rely on something more solid: a first sketch is supposed to appear announce the future of teasing cut.

M Coupe could, according to new evidence, make his first appearance at Pebble Beach like the sedan from which it derives. To recall, Infiniti had presented its great road last year at the California event, a 3D modeling technique. It should repeat the experience this summer for a GT coupe, integrated range Mr.

The first two sketches from home Infiniti announced, in addition to the cut, another novelty for Pebble Beach, a priori a "cut and 4-door" in the spirit of a Mercedes CLS. Our first assumption seems at least on the right track: in the spirit, the concept car is featured on the Essence lower drawing.

Infiniti G35 recalls due to problems with airbags

To get in a car accident, is one of the worst case scenario while driving, but if this is not workable and more bags, it does horror.

In accordance with the message NHTSA, more than 134,000 sedans and coupe Infiniti G35, sold in the mid 2000's, have some problems with airbags, which are not open during a crash.

Thus, Infiniti recalls sedans G35, released in 2005 ... 2006 and coupe, issue 2005 ... 2007. The revocation came two weeks after the provision of information from the NHTSA. So far about any accidents, with dire consequences not reported, Nissan is now engaged in advising dealers and instructs on the process of diagnosis and incapable of work replacing the airbags.
