Infiniti, le label premium de Nissan a dévoilé les caractéristiques et prix de ses voitures qui devraient atterrir sur le sol Espagnol en Octobre Prochain.
Il devrait y avoir 11 variantes d’Infiniti avec un prix de départ à 42.500,00€ pour la version 320PS G37 Sedan, et un prix allant jusqu’à 77.000,00€ pour la 390PS FX50S.
Le niveau d’équipement, et les performances ont aussi été confirmés : Par exemple, le G37 coupé, réalise le 0 à 100km/h en 5.8 secondes, et une vitesse de pointe, quand les conditions le permettent, de 249km/h. Rapide, en effet…

L’Espagne n’est pas le seul marché qui verra l’Infiniti faire ses débuts. Théoriquement, le mois d’Octobre devrait voir la marque ouvrir ses portes à la Belgique, Bulgarie, France, Italie, Pologne, Suisse et Grèce. Pour ce qui est des prix pour ces marchés, ils devraient être annoncés à la fin de l’été.

Infiniti, Europe’s newest premium automotive brand, has released final pan-European specifications and prices for the Spanish market ahead of its launch there in October. Spain will be one of the first countries in Europe to receive Infiniti’s range of performance cars and will also be among the most important. The announcement coincides with the opening of Infiniti’s pan-European customer contact centre which promises to offer the highest levels of service in the industry.

There will be 11 variations of Infiniti available across four distinct ranges. Prices in Spain will start from 42.500,00€ for the 320PS G37 Sedan rising to 77.000,00€ for the fully-equipped 390PS FX50S with a wide range of options available allowing customers to tailor an Infiniti to their exact requirements. Equipment levels and final performance figures for the whole European range have also been confirmed. The G37 Coupé, for example, accelerates to 100 km/h in 5.8 seconds and onto a top speed, where conditions allow, of 249 km/h. Rapid, indeed.

Spain is not the only market where Infiniti sales are about to start. This October will also see the brand opening the doors to centres in Belgium, Bulgaria, France, Italy, Poland, Switzerland and Greece. Prices for these markets will be announced at the end of the summer.

Infiniti is arriving in Europe almost 20 years after its inception but the wait will have been worth it. The cars are perfectly in tune with European driving conditions and state-of-the-art-retail facilities – boasting modern architecture with an accent on natural materials and lighting – are ready to provide an ownership experience that will be second to none. To bring its cars to market, Infiniti Europe has partnered with some of the most prestigious names in automotive retailing. For example Infiniti’s Partner in Spain, Bergé Automoción is one of the top ten auto retail groups in Europe and a leading distributor of premium and luxury cars in the Iberian Peninsula.

G37 Sedan

The mainstay of the new Infiniti range, the four-door G37 is designed to provide pure driving pleasure with a single power output of 320PS that is way above the entry point of its segment rivals. There’s a choice of rear- or all-wheel drive models with drive taken to the wheels via a slick six-speed manual or an advanced new seven-speed automatic transmission.

Fully independent suspension – double wishbones at the front and a multi-link rear – deliver the perfect blend of sporting handling and superb ride comfort while an usually long wheelbase results in a roomy cabin.

Just as significantly, the G37 Sedan has been fine-tuned to cope with European expectations where higher average speeds place extra demands on aerodynamic efficiency, high-speed stability, ride and handling and braking performance.

Central to the Infiniti range is the new 3.7-litre 24 valve V6 version of Infiniti’s multi award-winning VQ engine family.

This state-of-the-art engine features VVEL (Variable Valve Event and Lift) technology to optimise efficiency and, in turn, the balance between power, response, fuel efficiency and emissions.

VVEL continually alters valve lift and therefore the quantity of air in the combustion chamber. At partial throttle – in stop-go city traffic, for example – it will make a small lift thus achieving a more precise fuel/air mix with lower quantities of both to improve fuel consumption. At full throttle, the valve lift is greater, inducting a larger quantity of air into the combustion chamber.

The result is a more powerful combustion phase increasing torque and power… while the increase in power is balanced by more efficient combustion to the benefit of fuel economy and lower emissions.

In its final European specification, the V6 delivers 235 kW at 7,000 rpm (320 PS) and 360 Nm of torque at 5,300 rpm (266 lb ft). Fuel economy figures for the rear-wheel drive manual version include a combined cycle figure of 10.5 l/100 kms and a CO2 figure of 249 g/km. Top speed is 250 km/h (155 mph) with 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 5.8 seconds.
