Today, we want to detail a very special vehicle for you: the 2013 M. It’s a hybrid vehicle, meaning you’re getting the best efficiency married to some of the finest overall performance around. INFINITI doesn’t believe in compromises so you can bet your dollar that power and thrills will still be in abundance alongside the incredible fuel economy.
First, let’s examine that unique powertrain located under the hood. There are two main parts to what makes this machine tick—a traditional 3.5L V6 gasoline engine and a 376-volt lithium-ion battery. The power of the primary engine is augmented by the latter’s 67 horses, resulting in a total system output of 360 horses. (Yes, 360 HP in a hybrid!) Also, as we promised, fuel efficiency remains exceptional at 27 city / 32 highway MPG on average.
The 2013 INFINITI M Hybrid’s performance also receives a boost from its various drive modes. You can rock out with the traditional automatic transmission or switch into a pseudo-manual mode on the fly by flipping the shift selector to the left. The resulting experience enables you to either flick the selector up or down to switch gears or allows you to utilize the wheel-mounted paddles. Either way, you get to go hands on!
