Infiniti M

The Infiniti M is a line of mid-size luxury (executive) cars

from the Infiniti luxury division of Nissan. From 2013 Infiniti M
(model year 2014) on it has been marketed as the Infiniti
Q70, reflecting the company's new naming scheme.

The first iteration was the M30 Coupé/Convertible, which

were rebadged JDM Nissan Leopard. After a long hiatus,
the M nameplate was used for Infiniti's mid-luxury sedans
(executive cars). First was the short-lived M45 sedan, a
rebadged version of the Japanese-spec Nissan Gloria. The
next generations, the M35/45 and M37/56/35h/30d,
became the flagship of the Infiniti brand and are based on 2011 Infiniti M37
the JDM Nissan Fuga. Overview

First generation (1989–1992)

Infiniti M30 (F31)
The Infiniti M30 was a 2-door coupé based on the
Japanese market Nissan Leopard (chassis code F31). It
was launched alongside the flagship Q45 in 1989 for the
1990 model year, and was intended as a stopgap until the
later introduction of the G20 and J30 sedans. The M30
was a Japanese car designed for the Japanese market;
when it came to America, there was very little change and
interior room, style, and ergonomics remained rather Overview
outdated. The M30 used a left-hand drive version of the
Also called Nissan Leopard
angular dashboard from the R31 generation Nissan
Skyline, rather than the rounded "Kouki" dashboard seen Production 1989–1992
in the 1989-1992 Leopard. Model years 1990-1992
Assembly Musashimurayama, Japan
Overview Body and chassis
Class Mid-size car/Executive car
The Infiniti M30 was powered by a 3.0 liter SOHC V6,
and 4-speed automatic transmission. Standard equipment Body style 2-door convertible
included a driver's airbag, anti-lock brakes, an anti-theft 2-door coupé
security system with an engine immobilizer, Nissan Sonar Layout Front-engine, rear-wheel-
Suspension II, and leather upholstery. Other standard drive
equipment included a 4 speaker Nissan-Bose audio system
with a cassette player and an electric mast antenna, Powertrain
automatic climate control, cruise control, a power Engine 3.0 L VG30E V6
moonroof, power windows, power locks, and power
Transmission 4-speed RE4R01A
mirrors. Infiniti emphasized comfort and luxury, as well as
automatic
simplicity. Although dealerships offered an in-car cellular
telephone and in-dash CD player as accessories, the M30 Dimensions
had no factory options. Wheelbase 2,616 mm (103.0 in)

A convertible was introduced for the 1991 model year. All Length 4,796 mm (188.8 in)
convertibles originated as coupe models, and were shipped Width 1,689 mm (66.5 in)
to California and converted by American Sunroof
Height 1,321 mm (52.0 in)
Corporation (ASC). The electric canvas top featured fully
automatic push-button operation. Unlike the coupe, the Curb weight 1,498 kg (3,303 lb) (coupe)
M30 convertibles utilized manual climate controls, and a 1,622 kg (3,576 lb)
standard Active Sound audio system. The convertible (convertible)
model was never officially sold in Japan, and was Chronology
exclusive to the US market, although convertibles have
been imported to Japan in the last few years by collectors. Successor Infiniti G37 Cabrio

The M30 was discontinued after the 1992 model year following a production run of approximately 17,000
cars. It was replaced in the Infiniti lineup by the J30 sedan, which used a DOHC V6, and was based on the
Japanese market Nissan Leopard J. Ferie (chassis code Y32).

Changes

For the 1991 model year, the cable-type speedometer became electric, instrument cluster typeface changed
to match that of the Q45, and fuel and coolant temperature gauges were switched. The driver's and
passenger's side door keyhole and interior dome light would illuminate upon pulling the outer door handle
while the vehicle was locked. Selective door lock logic allowed unlocking of the passenger door from the
driver's keyhole by turning the key twice.

All 1992 models gained the addition of a central locking switch next to the Sonar Suspension II selector,
and the intake plenum cover changed to display the Infiniti logo, rather than the Nissan logo and the "V6
3000" script on 1990 and 1991 cars.

Technical

Power came from Nissan's 3.0 VG30E V6, which produced 162 hp (121 kW; 164 PS) at 6000 rpm, and
180  lb⋅ft (244  N⋅m) of torque at 3500 rpm. All M30s were equipped with a Jatco RE4R01A 4-speed
automatic transmission. The differential was a Nissan open R200 unit. Although most Nissan Leopards
were equipped with a DOHC V6, offered in 2.0 liter, 3.0 liter, naturally aspirated, and turbocharged forms,
the M30 was only offered with the SOHC VG30E. Although it was a smooth powertrain, which Infiniti
touted in its brochures for the M30, the 3,302 lb (1,498 kg) coupe and convertible were generally received
as overweight and underpowered. Infiniti marketed the car as a luxury sports coupe, and its relatively low
power output, combined with the absence of a manual transmission, hampered its performance and sporting
image.

Like the Nissan Maxima, the M30 was equipped with Nissan's Sonar Suspension II. Using a sonar sensor
mounted underneath the front bumper that scanned the road surface ahead of the vehicle, it would instantly
change damping based on varying road surfaces, using individual actuators on each shock absorber. A
center console-mounted switch allowed drivers to choose between Comfort (soft) and Sport (firm)
suspension modes.

1990-1992 M30 convertible

Second generation (2002–2004)

Infiniti M45 was designed in 2000 at the Nissan Technical Infiniti M (Y34)
Center (NTC) in Atsugi, Japan;[5] was manufactured in
Tochigi, Japan;[5] and is based on the Y34-series Nissan
Gloria. In contrast to the Japanese models, which were
available only with 6-cylinder engines, the M45 was
powered by Nissan's VK45DE V8, producing 340  hp
(254  kW) and 333  lb⋅ft (451  N⋅m) of torque, which it
shared with the Infiniti's flagship Q45.[6]
Overview
Also called Nissan Cedric
In addition to the difference in powertrain with the Y34 Nissan Gloria
Cedric/Gloria, the Y34 M45 uses a different instrument Production 2002–December 2004
panel design, similar to the F50 Q45 as well as a different
rear multi-link suspension design. The Y34 Model years 2003–2004
Cedric/Gloria's rear multi-link suspension design is similar Body and chassis
to Z32 300ZX, and S14/S15 Silvia/200SX/240SX where
Layout FR layout
the rear spring is mounted on the strut. The rear
suspension design on the Y34 M45 is much like the rear Related Infiniti Q45
suspension design on the Z33 350Z, where the spring is Nissan Cima
mounted independent of the shock/strut, and sits directly Nissan Gloria
on the lower arm, in a spring cup. Powertrain
The front suspension design carries over from the Y33 Engine 4.5L VK45DE 340 hp

The M45 allowed Infiniti to expand the use of the 4.5L V8 that had
been exclusive to the Q45, thus creating a better economy of scale
to cope with that engine's development costs.

Third generation (2005–2010)

Infiniti released a redesigned M for the 2006 model year, Infiniti M (Y50)
released in February 2005, and marketed in Japan as the
Nissan Fuga. All-wheel-drive models, marketed as the
M35x and M45x, use a system (ATTESA-ETS) to send
all power to the rear wheels until slip is detected. As the
Q45 was no longer exported from Japan after model year
2006, the M45 became Infiniti's flagship.

category, accounted for half of the marque's sales as of 2009.[16] Out of that year's 81000 Infiniti cars sold,
only 10000 were of the M nameplate.[17] Furthermore, the 2009 update left M35 and M45 in awkward
positions of the Infiniti lineup, as though they were the flagships of the marque, they were out-powered by
the VQ37VHR engines fitted in the 2009 G37 coupe and sedan. For that model year while the G Series
received 7-speed automatic transmissions across the lineup, only the M35 RWD was upgraded to a 7-speed
automatic while the rest of the nameplate retained the aging 5-speed automatic.[18]

2008/2009 Mid-generational refresh

For the 2008 model year, the Infiniti M received a facelift, receiving
optional all wheel drive (M45x), revised front and rear fascias,
revised tail lights, and redesigned blue-highlted gauges, previously
orange. Infiniti also offered an S type version for the M45/M45x
similar to the previous Sport model. Other new features on the
2008 model include touch screen hard drive based navigation, iPod
integration, and a music hard drive.

The Infiniti M Hybrid, to be sold as the Nissan Fuga Hybrid in Japan where it is the top performance trim
there, will introduce Nissan's first in-house developed electric hybrid technology, and the carmaker claims it
will double the fuel economy of its gasoline-powered version.[26] Nissan also announced that the Nissan
Infiniti/Fuga Hybrid, together with the Nissan Leaf, will include its new Vehicle Sound for Pedestrians
system to alert pedestrians, the blind and others to their presence when the hybrid is operating at low speeds
in all-electric mode.[27][28]

The hybrid includes one electric motor and two clutches to

allow the 3.5L V6 (302 hp (225 kW) and 258 lb⋅ft (350 N⋅m))
gas engine and electric motor to drive the rear wheels
simultaneously. The lithium-ion battery pack will come from
the Infiniti Essence.[29] The VQ35HR 3.5 L V6 Hybrid
utilizes the Atkinson cycle. The electric motor, installed in
parallel between the engine and the transmission, produces
68 PS (50 kW; 67 bhp) from 1.3kWh lithium-ion batteries that
Nissan Fuga & Infiniti M Hybrid Powertrain are expected to have a service life of 10 years. The batteries
are installed upright behind the rear seats. The main sacrifices
are that the luggage compartment space is reduced, the
hybrid's rear seats are fixed in place and cannot fold down, and all-wheel drive is not available.[26] One
benefit of the battery placement though, is that it leaves the hybrid with a 51/49 front to rear weight
distribution.

The combined power output of the M35H's hybrid power-train is 360 hp (268 kW; 365 PS) at 6500 rpm,
and an estimated 391 lb⋅ft (530 N⋅m) of torque at 2000 rpm.[30]

Reviewers have considered the 2012 Infiniti M35h, along with the 2011 Porsche Panamera S Hybrid
which also debuted in the same calendar year, as among the best executed hybrid performance luxury cars.
The M35h and Panamera S Hybrid are the first hybrid gasoline-electric vehicles with an automatic
transmission to return frugal fuel economy figures and retain the acceleration/handling characteristics of its
gasoline-only counterparts. Earlier hybrids such as the Lexus 2007 GS 450h used a CVT for fuel economy
at the cost of driving dynamics, while the 2010 BMW ActiveHybrid 7 which has an automatic transmission
did not feature significantly improved mileage over its gasoline counterpart.[31][32] The M35h's fuel
economy is superior to the M37, and it is almost as fast as the M56 while providing a more balanced, near
50/50, front/rear weight distribution.[33]

On August 23, 2011, the Infiniti M35h set an official Guinness world record for the world's fastest
accelerating production full hybrid. The feat took place at the United Kingdom's Santa Pod Raceway,
where CAR magazine journalist Tim Pollard drove the vehicle down the quarter-mile dragstrip in 13.896
seconds. The M35h averaged 13.9031 seconds for all runs, reaching speeds over 100  mph (160  km/h).
Guinness adjudicators were present to witness the run and certify the record.[34][35] The official claimed 0–
100 km/h (62 mph) time for the Infiniti M35h is 5.5 seconds.

M30d (Diesel version) (2010–2014)

In 2010, at the Geneva Motor Show, the Infiniti M was introduced with a diesel engine for the first time. It
will be sold across Europe starting in September 2010. The V9X diesel engine produces 240 hp (179 kW)
and 406  lb⋅ft (550  N⋅m) of torque at 2,500 rpm. In western Europe, this V6 performance diesel will be
offered as a high performance option in lieu of the M56 V8. The M30d will not be sold in the US or
Canada.[36]
Discontinuation
In 2019, Nissan confirmed that the Infiniti Q70, Q70L, Q30, and QX30 models will be discontinued after
the 2019 model year due to poor sales as people in the United States, Canada, and Mexico prefer to
purchase crossovers and SUVs instead of sedans, hatchbacks, wagons, convertibles, and coupes. Another
reason for the discontinuation is also caused by Nissan's plans to withdraw the Infiniti brand from the
Australian, New Zealand, South Korean, Hong Kong, Macau, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Malaysian, and
West European markets by the end of 2020, with Nissan already withdrawing the Infiniti brand from the
South African market in 2017 due to losses and poor sales. Nissan has no plans of abandoning sedans
entirely and plans on possibly introducing an Infiniti EV vehicle in 2021 for the 2022 model year based
from QS Inspiration concept.[37][38]
