Depending on when you last purchased an INFINITI vehicle, you might not be aware of the new nomenclature the automaker uses to designate its cars and crossovers. In fact, the classification system has changed a bit over time.
Initially, most vehicles in the INFINITI lineup used a letter or two and two numbers. If it was a car, one letter was used, whereas SUVs had two. The numbers described displacement. For instance, a QX56 was a crossover that had a 5.6-liter engine.
Other designations could be used, as well. If there was an "x" after the number, it meant that the auto was an all-wheel drive model. An "s" meant that it was a sport edition, while "h" denoted a hybrid model. If a "d" was used, it meant that the vehicle ran on diesel. Finally, a "t" represented Touring models.
As of 2013, the nomenclature of INFINITI vehicles changed. Now, any autos that have a “Q†are cars, whereas any with a “QX†are crossovers. The numbers that follow these letters represent the location in the automaker’s lineup.
