Infiniti M luxury sedans will go on sale in spring 2010. The M35 Hybrid version is expected in 2012. This is the first hybrid car from Infinity in their 20-year history on the market. It will be the cleanest and most economical in their product range.

The M35 Hybrid is powered by a single electric motor and naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6 and. The gearbox delivers the power to the rear wheels, which grants better driving experience.

Among the technologies included in the M35 Hybrid is the lithium-ion battery pack, which is the same size as conventional batteries but offers twice the power. The car is a full hybrid, which means that it can run only on electricity in certain driving conditions. This is very useful, when owners will use it on short distances, like going to work or to the supermarket.

The new generation of Infiniti models are designed to beat predecessors not only on fuel consumption and emissions, but on better performance results.

    This is a curiously old fashioned looking vehicle, without having the appeal of being ‘retro’ in styling. Other models in the Infiniti line up, with the exception of the FX, are pretty conservative, but at least more or less passable. This really is a pudding. And it’s supposed to be kind of stateoftheartish hybrid. Afraid you’ll have to do much better, Nissan, if you wish the Infiniti to be taken seriously in Europe (incl. the UK). Guess what it shows is that anything that’s styled with the American market in mind doesn’t translate all that well to Europe, whereas, by contrast, Euro styling has a significant following in the American premium market.

    The M35 Hybrid will be using a Honda IMA-like hybrid system (electric motor sandwiched between the engine and transmission + torque converter), but with one major difference– There will be two clutches that can engage or disengage the electric motor from the gas engine, to allow for electric-only operation.
    I don’t like that setup at all. It is godawfully complicated, with 100+ moving parts. I like the Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive used in the Nissan Altima Hybrid a lot better– The HSD transaxle has all of 22 moving parts, no hot-running torque converter, no clutches, no CVT belts, no gear-shifting wear-and-tear.
    I’d rather have the Altima Hybrid than the M35 Hybrid.
