The Infiniti lineup will be receiving plenty of updates for 2011. This includes the addition of the all-new M sedan and QX56 SUV. Although it won’t be completely new, the G series will also be receiving some intriguing new updates.
Making their official debut at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, the 2011 G Sedan will offer a new Limited Edition model as well a Sport Appearance package. Meanwhile the G Coupe will add a Sport Package for the AWD-equipped models. Finally, the G Convertible will feature a revised front fascia and will be available with a Limited Edition model.

Nissan has long relied on hybrid technology that was purchased and licensed from Toyota. While acquiring hybrid tech from the hybrid leader isn’t necessarily a bad idea, Nissan is looking to forge its own path when it comes to hybrid propulsion, and this new system will find its way into an Infiniti model first, according to Infiniti Boston MA.
The upcoming M35 Hybrid will feature the first hybrid system developed by Nissan. According to Reuters, the system will differ greatly from Toyota’s full hybrid and Honda’s mild hybrid architecture. As a result, it may offer even stronger fuel economy than competing systems. [click to continue…]

Not only does Nissan’s luxury have two new offerings, the Infiniti M sedan and the QX56 SUV, but Infiniti also plans on launching at least two additional models by 2011.
One of these upcoming models is going to be an all-electric car based on the upcoming Nissan Leaf. The other is expected to be based on the Nissan Juke crossover, which will be powered by a direct-injected turbocharged four-cylinder engine that may be carried over to the Infiniti model, according to Nissan Dealer Hartford.

It’s an impressive feat: The completely redesigned 2011 Infiniti QX56 offers 25 percent more horsepower, 10 percent better fuel efficiency and a new, even stouter body-on-frame chassis than the 2010 model—yet it it starts with exactly the same sticker price, a cool $56,700.
And as is obvious from the QX56′s introduction at April’s New York International Auto Show, that would be money well spent by anyone who want the benefits of “a true five-star travel experience” and eight-passenger seating. [click to continue…]

Infinti is working on its own electric vehicle based on the Nissan Leaf. However, the car is likely to be quite different in terms of performance to better fit the brand’s overall persona.
The other important factor in the development of this vehicle is its styling, which will reportedly not look at all like the demure Leaf. Instead, the Infiniti will be far more luxurious and sportier than its Nissan branded counterpart. Remaining true to the brand is important, Boston Infiniti says. [click to continue…]

With a new alliance between Renault-Nissan and Daimler AG firmly in place, Mercedes Annapolis said one of the first byproducts of this relationship could be a Mercedes-sourced four-cylinder engine for Infiniti’s G sedan and coupe.
All automakers, particularly those in the premium segment, are looking for new ways to boost fuel economy throughout their entire lineup. With a thirsty behemoth like the QX56 or the performance-tuned FX50, Infiniti could benefit from a base four-cylinder unit in the G lineup to offset the MPG offered by their high-performance and SUV models.

The Infiniti QX56 may be a relatively low volume vehicle, but for Nissan’s luxury brand, the QX remains crucial to maintaining a presence in the competitive full-size luxury SUV segment. That’s why the all-new 2011 Infiniti QX was just redesigned from the ground up, and is intended to provide a “five-star travel experience” for the road.
As before, the 2011 Infiniti QX56 is simply gargantuan and certainly exudes power and strength. But the all-new model also provides a subtle softness in its styling that gives way to spaciousness and luxury inside. The QX56 retains all the important aspects of a vehicle in the full-size luxury SUV class, Infiniti Boston says. [click to continue…]

Last year it was made clear that Infiniti is planning to introduce an all-electric vehicle in its lineup. While such plans were being made during the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show, the automaker stopped short of providing any concrete details – aside from the fact that the proposed car will fulfill the brand’s promise of Inspired Performance.
Slowly but surely, news reports are coming in and the latest about the proposed Infiniti is that it will feature the electric drivetrain found in the upcoming Nissan Leaf EV. The major difference between the two systems, of course, will be that the Infiniti’s will be more suited for performance rather than purely maximizing range. It’s important that Infiniti remain a performance oriented brand, Boston Infiniti Dealers say. [click to continue…]

It seems that “sudden acceleration” is becoming justification for some very strange behavior behind the wheel. Yesterday a dark gray Infiniti G35x plowed into a doctors office, injuring five people, and stopping only when it hit a support column, according to police.
“I was reading a magazine and suddenly there was an almighty explosion,” said Jerry Catt, who was in the front lobby at time of the accident. “The car was stuck on full throttle. The engine was racing.” [click to continue…]
