Infiniti: Performance hybrid saloon range is growing from this month

Running a vehicle for business?

Don't leave yourself out of pocket - a guide to what you can claim.

A new M35h GT version of the record-breaking Infiniti V6 saloon delivers all the performance and low emissions for which the M35h is known – but for less outlay.

It costs £3970 less than the M35h GT Premium which until now was the sole version available and arrives in Infiniti Centres from July, and in common with every new M the line-up benefits from a highly competitive new price structure as well as several enhancements, including a soft-closing boot function.

The additional entry model ensures Infiniti’s “no compromise” hybrid approach reaches as large a market as possible. A recent reduction in CO2 emissions further cuts running costs with both versions of the M35h falling below the important 160g/km tax threshold.

“Cost of ownership is an important consideration in any new car purchase. With the M35h GT grade it now means that the P11D values have been reduced and along with the recently improved CO2 rating there are lower bills for companies and for their drivers,” said Infiniti UK Fleet Sales Manager, Simon Lewis.

Previously the navigation system was available only as part of a package with 16-speaker Bose® surround sound. But, in response to customer wishes, a new separate option of Connectiviti+, Infiniti’s navigation/entertainment system, has been introduced on GT and S models at a highly competitive £1800 – a price that also includes one of the most sophisticated climate control systems available, Forest Air®.

The option, if taken, will add to the famously generous specification expected from any Infiniti product. On an ‘M’ these include such items as semi-aniline leather seat facings, heated and ventilated front seats, bi-Xenon headlights with Adaptive Front-Lighting System (AFS), alloy wheels and White Ash wood trim finished with real silver powder.

As before, M30d S, M30d S Premium and M37 S Premium add a sporting focus with larger alloy wheels, 4-Wheel Active Steering, and sports suspension, brakes and seats, along with black lacquer trim in the cabin.

Now well established in the range, Infiniti’s top-selling ‘Premium’ models are equipped with Infiniti’s complete suite of safety and convenience technologies including Blind Spot InterventionTM, Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) and Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Prevention (LDP).

The overall quality of the Infiniti M has also been recognised within the latest American J.D. Power Initial Quality Study. The Infiniti M came top of the Midsize Premium Car segment ahead of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.

 

The new M range pricing for the UK is:

3.0 V6 diesel
M30d GT £39,331
M30d GT Premium £43,301
M30d S £41,636
M30d S Premium £45,601
3.7 V6 petrol
M37 GT £37,366
M37 GT Premium £41,366
M37 S Premium £43,636
3.5 V6/electric Direct Response Hybrid
M35h GT £41,101 (additional model)
M35h GT Premium £45,071
