Posted at December 3rd, 2009 under Infiniti | No Comments »

Infiniti’s new flagship saloon will be entering UK in 2010 September. Adding, the Infiniti M will be available in V6 petrol and diesel forms, tagging on in 2011 by a version en suited with a new high-efficiency hybrid transmission.

Similar to the other cars in the Infiniti range, the M is based on the company’s rear-drive FM (front-midship) platform that has the engine behind the line of the front axle. And the car comes with double wishbone suspension at the front and a multi-link rear axle and it has speed-sensitive power steering.

Further, the Infiniti designers have put lot of efforts with the quality of materials in the interior and have even used university researchers to engineer new soft-feel plastics technology.

Also the first model to enter into the sale will be the M37 and it is motorized by a 3.7-litre V6 petrol engine that is good for 316bhp and 266lb ft. A seven-speed automatic and steering wheel paddles are available in all the M models. Standard, Eco, Sport and Snow modes are the modes that can be set for engines and transmission.

Blind Spot Intervention (which can automatically steer the car away from danger), Active Noise Control (which cancels out low-frequency engine noise), Forest Air climate control (which uses pulsated air and fragrances to help relax passengers) and Dynamic Cornering Assistance (which uses subtle individual brake control to reduce steering effort during tight manoeuvres) are the high end features that are available in the M model.
