Infiniti is a full participant in the visionary Nissan Green Program and continues to improve efficiency through technology and weight saving, as well as hybrid and other alternative fuel innovations.
Hybrid concept
Infiniti’s visionary Essence concept car, revealed at the Geneva Auto Show in 2009, combines a potent petrol engine with a new kind of powerful yet compact electric motor, delivering high performance with zero-emissions.
V6 diesel engine
Infiniti will introduce a diesel engine to its 2010 European model line-up, marrying high performance with Infiniti’s lowest-ever carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
Variable Valve Event & Lift (VVEL)
Infiniti’s patented VVEL valve control technology is the very embodiment of efficiency delivering higher torque with lower emissions, even in very powerful engines such as the FX’s 5.0-litre V8.
7-speed automatic with Adaptive Shift Control
Adaptive Shift Control adapts the 7-speed automatic transmission’s shift pattern to match driving style, further boosting efficiency as well as driving enjoyment.
Lightweight aluminum components
Infiniti aluminum adds strength to our automobiles while reducing their weight, boosting both safety and efficiency. For example, aluminum components make the body of the latest FX 3.4 times more resistant to bending than the previous model, significantly improving power transfer, and hence efficiency.
Plasmacluster Ionizer
Along with hi-tech air filters – including one impregnated with allergen reducing grapeseed polyphenol - certain Infiniti models feature the Plasmacluster™ ionizer that generates positive and negative ions to help keep the cabin air clean and fresh.
