    Intelligent All-Wheel Drive

    You won’t let anything prevent you from reaching your destination. With Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, you can embark with perfect confidence. In less than ideal conditions, it sends power to select wheels, providing added traction and control. When roads clear, it returns that power to the rear, so your vehicle hugs every bend.

    Front Midship Platform

    Your drive deserves to be unencumbered. It’s the reason we developed the INFINITI Front Midship Platform. Inspired by high-performance racing technology, the platform sets your engine behind the front axle, centering your vehicle’s weight, enabling quick steering response and precise balance through every curve.
