The 2011 Infiniti M: A Luxury Sedan that Stands Alone
Hi everyone, I'm Michael Fiser and I'm Kim B. Fennel, and you're watching AutoTrader's new car review for the 2011 Infiniti M. In this video, we'll be taking a closer look at the midsize luxury sedan that has been redesigned to turn up the heat in the market.
A Stunning New Design
The Infiniti M is a stunning new design that not only has the style but also the performance to make it a serious contender in the luxury sedan market. The long hood and short rear deck give it an aggressive but refined appeal, with lots of bends and bows that will surely turn heads. In order for this car to stand out from its competitors, such as the BMW 5 series, Mercedes-Benz E-class, and Jaguar XF, it needs a head-turning design.
A Graceful Flowing Feel Inside
The interior of the Infiniti M is where things get even more impressive. It has a graceful flowing feel that's sure to delight anyone who steps inside. If you take a closer look, you can actually see pure silver powder in the wood inlays - it looks great! However, there are features in here that will please even the most discerning buyers. The M's Forest Air system allows the climate control fans to replicate the feel of a natural, soothing breeze.
A Sense of Smell and More
One feature that really sets the Infiniti M apart is its sense of smell. When an unpleasant odor is detected, the car actually closes the outside vents. This is just one example of the innovative features that make this luxury sedan stand out from the competition. The M also comes with a good list of luxury features, such as 10-way power heated front bucket seats, standard Bluetooth and iPod connectivity, available navigation, and a Bose premium sound system.
A Fun-to-Drive Experience
But who cares about all that if the car isn't fun to drive? In order to find out, let's take the Infiniti M for a spin. The base M37 has the power to match the European luxury sedans, with a 3.7 L V6 that puts up 330 horsepower - 90 more than the BMW 528i. However, it's the m56 X AWD or all-wheel drive model that we have here that really gets things moving, with 420 horsepower from the 5.6 l v 8.
Fast and Agile
The Infiniti M is enough to rocket this baby from 0 to 60 in just 5.6 seconds. And you can feel it too, thanks to the 7-speed automatic transmission that comes with magnesium paddle shifters - even changing gears has a premium feel. There are also plenty of performance setup choices available, including standard Eco sport or snow mode. This means you can choose between rear-wheel drive or m56x AWD intelligent all-wheel drive, depending on your driving needs.
Safety First
For added safety, the Infiniti M comes with an optional technology package that includes a Blindside warning system and a lean departure warning system - two very important active safety features that I think every new car should have. With these features combined with its powerful engine and smooth transmission, the Infiniti M is a safe bet for anyone looking for a fun-to-drive luxury sedan.
A Competitive Price Point
So what are we looking at here? The Infiniti M's pricing is pretty competitive, with the M37 starting at $466,500. However, the m56 starts at just $57,900 - and when you add in all the features and options, a fully loaded m56x AWD model can cost upwards of $70,000.
Stands Alone
Despite being part of a bigger brand, the Infiniti M truly stands alone as a luxury sedan with standout elegant styling and innovative performance safety and comfort features. Whether you're shopping for a new car or just looking to upgrade your current ride, the 2011 Infiniti M is definitely worth considering.
