Inspired by nature, Infiniti set out to craft a hybrid with the same harmonious coexistence of graceful power and quiet efficiency. Introducing the only vehicle delivering more than 350 hp and 30 mpg.

Designed to be just as efficient as it is powerful, the 2012 Infiniti M Hybrid near Chicago utilizes a parallel hybrid system that enables the electric motor and gas engine to work simultaneously or individually. The M Hybrid can operate strictly in electric mode while driving at speeds up to 62 mph and coasting at speeds up to 85 mph.

2012 Infiniti M Hybrid In Chicago

To deliver a more connected driving experience, the Infiniti M® Hybrid uses an electric pump to supply pressurized fluid to the steering system. A torque sensor analyzes steering input and turns on the pump to provide power assist only when needed, saving energy while still providing taut handling.

Chosen for its high output and compact design, the Lithium-Ion battery attains more power density than the Nickel Metal Hydride battery technology used in many competitor hybrid systems. The result is instant charge and discharge – enabling precise control of the electric motor and clutches. This unrivaled ability delivers smooth power and quick responsiveness that contribute to the ability to drive up to 62 mph strictly in electric mode.

Performance

Acceleration swell is our vision of power, dedicated to delivering a shape and feel beyond raw numbers. By tuning Infiniti engines to unleash torque that climbs over a broader rev range, the force you feel seems to increase the faster you go.

The Infiniti M Hybrid, available at Infiniti of Lisle in late 2011, features the Direct Response Hybrid™ system, a revolutionary 1-motor, 2-clutch parallel hybrid powertrain that utilizes high-speed motor control technology – enabling seamless transitions between the gas and electric motors. This innovation provides a smooth and connected driving experience.

Engine Efficiency

The Infiniti Direct Response Hybrid™ system heightens efficiency by orchestrating the engine, motor, transmission and clutches in perfect symphony. All-electric mode is possible for stop-and-go traffic and when cruising, while the gas engine is engaged for passing and climbing. When conditions call for it, the Infiniti M® Hybrid can draw power from both motors. The result is the only vehicle that delivers more than 350 hp and 30 mpg.

Battery Design

A breakthrough not only in power, but efficiency. The Lithium-Ion battery found in the Infiniti M Hybrid is lighter and more compact than traditional Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries, enabling us to maintain M’s spacious cabin while delivering more valuable trunk space than the Lexus GS 450h – enough for four sets of golf clubs.

Safety

When braking or coasting, the electric motor acts as a generator, converting kinetic energy into electric energy to recharge the battery. Not only does the Infiniti M Hybrid recapture more energy over a broader range of speed than other hybrids, it also utilizes an electric booster to assist brake performance.
