Y51 M

ARRIVING in Australia in late 2012 as luxury car sales were sliding, Infiniti’s M sedan was a stab at a BMW 5 Series competitor.Infiniti hoped to provide a point of difference with the M as it was a fresh new brand not weighed down by a long history like Mercedes-Benz, BMW and even Lexus that appealed to older buyers.Being an unknown quantity made the M a hard sell, as did the pricing at launch that ranged from $85,000 all the way up to just under $100,000 for the range-topping M35h GT hybrid, which Infiniti claimed was the fastest-accelerating hybrid production car on the planet.Powered by a 225kW/350Nm 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine that got assistance from a 50kW/270Nm electric motor – providing peak combined power of 268kW – the M35h accelerated from 0-100km/h in just 5.5 seconds.The barnstorming hybrid managed official fuel consumption of 6.9L/100km on the combined cycle.A Renault-sourced 3.0-litre turbo-diesel V6 powered the M30d model and achieved 7.5L/100km.Standard equipment included a seven-speed automatic transmission, 18-inch alloy wheels, ‘self-healing’ paint, adaptive headlights with self-leveling function, double-glazed side windows, side mirrors that dipped when reversing, heated exterior mirrors, rain-sensing wipers and a polished aluminium gearknob.S Premium models additionally got magnesium paddle shifters, sports-tuned suspension, 20-inch alloys, sports seats, a power rear window shade, 16-speaker Bose sound system, blind-spot intervention and active cruise control.

S51 FX

NISSAN launched the Infiniti luxury brand in Australia in the early 1990s with the overpriced and forgettable Q45 large sedan, which sold poorly before disappearing from showrooms.Infiniti’s reintroduction to the Australian market was delayed a few years by the global financial crisis, but it finally returned in September 2012 with an initial two-model line-up.The M sedan and FX SUV were charged with breaking the brand in Australia and challenging the might of the Europeans as well as Japanese rival Lexus.The hulking FX was a competitor to established SUVs including the BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz ML, Audi Q7, Lexus RX and even the Porsche Cayenne.The entry-level FX37 was powered by Nissan’s familiar 3.7-litre four-valve V6 petrol engine with 235kW, consuming 12.1L/100km, while a Renault-based 3.0-litre turbo-diesel V6 engine powered the FX30d, delivering 175kW and 9.0L/100km.The range-topping FX50 got the same 287kW 5.0-litre V8 that formed the basis of Nissan’s Altima V8 Supercar.Standard equipment included 20-inch alloy wheels, adaptive bi-Xenon headlights with automatic leveling, a sunroof with sliding shade, heated and ventilated front seats, 10-way power driver-seat adjustment with lumbar support and manual thigh extensions, dual-zone climate-control, a rear-view camera, an eight-inch information screen and a premium 11-speaker Bose sound system.Up-spec S Premium models added forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, active cruise control, and an active lane-departure prevention system.

Search will attempt to find all articles within the system that contain any or all words you are looking for.

You can include words like "and" + "or" for boolean style searching. Some search examples as follows:

  • "Ford v8" - Results will contain the text as it appears in the search "Ford v8".
  • "Ford and v8" - Results will have both "Ford" and "v8" within its contents but may not be sequential as per previous example.
  • "Ford or Holden and v8" - Results found will contain "v8" and also contain either "Ford" or "Holden".

You may also use wildcards represented by an asterisks. For example:

  • "Turbo*" - will find all documents that contain words like "Turbocharged", "Turbo-Diesel".
  • "Ford and v*" - Results will have both "Ford" and any word that has "V", so you may find documents about Volvo that mention Ford.

Please note: Due to the number of articles, searches may take a few moments to respond.
