The first of Infiniti’s hybrids are arriving in our dealership soon! The Infiniti M Hybrid will be here soon to deliver a gasoline-hybrid drivetrain to the luxury performance sedan line. The Infiniti M hybrid will undoubtedly out do its competition, with the 3.5 liter V6 producing 302 hp and the electric motor contributing a peak of 67 hp, making a total of 369hp on hand to deliver the most remarkable hybrid experience, yet. Power is sent through to the rear wheels via a specialized seven-speed automatic transmission. Depending on the driving situation, the M Hybrid will drive solely on battery power, solely gas engine or a combination of the two. No official fuel efficiency numbers have been released, but experts expect it to achieve somewhere in the neighborhood of 27 mpg city/32 mpg highway.

“We’re excited to be able to bring in the new Infiniti M Hybrid – with its exceptional blend of power, efficiency, style, luxury and technology – at an M.S.R.P. of under $54,000,” said Infiniti Vice President Ben Poore. “Competitively priced, though with little real direct competition, we expect the M Hybrid to continue the strong sales momentum the new Infiniti M Sedan has been experiencing since its launch in the 2011 model year.”

You can also expect the typical high-quality materials and attention to detail in the cabin – the Infiniti M Hybrid will be loaded with copious amounts of luxury in a tasteful, timeless design. The net result is a vehicle that delivers a refined driving experience, a comfortable, state-of-the-art cabin and excellent fuel economy for its class.

Infiniti was pleased at the amount of interest that developed over their world debut of the ETHEREA concept they revealed at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show earlier this month. The concept is meant to provide an attractive alternative to the current world of compact luxury cars. Targeting a new generation of younger buyers, the ETHEREA provides a glimpse of Infiniti’s convention-defying distinctiveness they have planned for the future. It will be their first entry into the compact class.

“ETHEREA is about a new type of luxury,” said Toru Saito, Corporate Vice President and Leader of the Global Infiniti Business Unit. “It is for younger buyers who do not want a smaller version of a typically conservative and traditional luxury car. It is for people who want a car that defines who they are, not who their parents were.”

The ETHEREA hopes to match no-compromise hybrid power with maximum driving pleasure. That is a complicated equation that no one has solved yet, but it looks promising for Infiniti.
“ETHEREA is completely different from current luxury compact cars,” said Senior Vice President of Design, Shiro Nakamura. “That is appropriate for a new generation of drivers who think of themselves as different. “As an exploration into what a future entry-level Infiniti may be like, ETHEREA is highly significant and a breakthrough in what Infiniti thinks about itself.”

ETHEREA’s segment-busting appeal is based on the coming together of several vehicles styles. It delivers a mixed recipe of part elegant coupe, part spacious sedan, part practical hatchback and even part crossover. And being an Infiniti, there is a hearty portion of sports car in the way it drives.

Here’s a blurb on the performance:

“A supercharged 2.5-liter 4-cylinder petrol engine developing 245 horsepower provides quick response and strong acceleration throughout the performance range. Boosting power when more is needed, and providing silent, emission-free driving at low speeds, is an electric motor. The transmission is a continuously variable (CVT) type and, in an Infiniti first, drive is to the front wheels.”

The ETHEREA is, of course, currently just a concept car, but Infiniti will be taking the design notes, performance numbers and idea and is currently incorporating them into a mass-produced and cutting edge vehicle under the Infiniti banner in the near future. The result will be very similar to what you see above, we are told. Expect more news on this vehicle very soon!

Regarding current news, he had this to say: “The outlook for Infiniti has never been brighter. We are expanding our reach and our product lineup. In the past 12 months alone, we have launched the all-new Infiniti M diesel versions of the EX and FX crossovers and presented an enhanced G Line showing the Infiniti Performance Line for the coupe and cabrio. We have also introduced new technologies like Blind Spot Intervention as part of our “Safety Shield” innovation.”

He also made mention about the upcoming, all-electric vehicle Infiniti has planned for the 2013 model year: “And coming in 2013, Infiniti will introduce its first fully electric luxury sedan for the global market. The highest level of performance and technology with luxurious beauty and modern inspired craftsmanship.”

He touched upon the new Etherea concept and design (discussed fully in another blog) and made mention of Infiniti’s new alliance with Formula One Racing, “True to the DNA of our brand, Infiniti delivers inspired performance, warm hospitality and genuine craftsmanship. But brand is more than just DNA. Awareness is equally important and recently we have raised our visibility through relationships with some of the world’s most respected brands and events. Today, I am excited to announce a global partnership that will clearly propel the Infiniti brand promise of Inspired Performance to a new level. Infiniti is proud to introduce a two-year partnership with Red Bull Racing Formula One!”
