Infiniti has joined the list of premium automotive brands developing vehicles specifically for the world’s largest automotive market – China – with the Beijing Motor Show debut of a long wheelbase Infiniti M.
“The Infiniti M long-wheel-base – available in M35hl hybrid and M25 normally aspirated versions – is the fist high-end Infiniti luxury sedan tailor-made for Chinese customers. It strikes a perfect balance between outstanding performance and environmental sustainability and brings a new challenger to China’s premium car market,” revealed Infiniti’s Andy Palmer.
With a wheelbase of 3050mm (150mm longer than the standard model), the Infiniti M affords substantially more space in the rear (where most Chinese owners will travel).
The curved exterior style continues Infiniti’s ‘Ocean Wave’ theme.
Inside are the expected Infiniti technology and luxury highlights like Lane Departure Warning and 16-speaker Bose audio plus ‘Forest Air’ – a climate control system to promote ‘alertness’ and ‘relieve stress’.
Infiniti’s VQ35 new generation hybrid engine was the only hybrid engine listed in the 2012 ‘Ward’s 10 Best Engines’.
