Electric power meets the appeal of INFINITI’s premium engineering with the 2013 M Hybrid. It’s a beautiful, clever mash-up of some of today’s finest technologies, all thoughtfully integrated into a class-leading sedan.
We’d be burying the lede, so to speak, if we didn’t immediately address this car’s hybrid functionality. It comes with an amazing one-two punch: First, there is the 3.5L V6 motor that offers conventional gasoline performance. However, this is joined by a 376-volt lithium-ion battery pack which tacks on an additional 67 horses, resulting in a machine that outputs a wonderful total of 360 HP. Bet you weren’t expecting that kind of power in a hybrid, huh? And, of course, this means amazing fuel efficiency despite the engine’s “gruntâ€â€”you’ll enjoy an EPA-estimated 27 city / 32 highway average MPG.
Among the 2013 INFINITI M Hybrid’s many systems is Vehicle Dynamic Control and Traction Assist. This technology provides supreme peace of mind by utilizing a collection of sensors to monitor road conditions in real-time, adjusting automatically on your behalf whenever friction decreases and your wheels lose their grip with the street. In this scenario, the computer alters brake pressure and engine output to self-correct.
