Infiniti M35 Hybrid - Geneva Auto Show

The Infiniti M35 Hybrid is getting a lot of attention at the Geneva AutoShow taking place this week in Switzerland. The M35 is the first hybrid from Infiniti and is being touted by the automotive community as one of the first performance hybrids. The Infiniti M35 was rigorously tested in the United States while being readied to take on the it's European competitors, the BMW 5 series and the Mercedes Benz E class.

The reviews from the Geneva AutoShow so far have been very favorable of the Infiniti M35 Hybrid and we at Grubbs Infiniti have been keeping track of what's being said and are very excited for the M35 Hybrid to come to our showroom sometime in 2011.

2010 Geneva Motor Show: 2012 Infiniti M35 Hybrid

"Nissan and its Infiniti luxury division may have been late to the table when it comes to hybrids but neither brand is shying away from launching a new generation of gasoline-electric vehicles. Infiniti has fired the latest round in the battle for hybrid supremacy with the unveiling of a new hybrid version of its 2011 M sedan at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show."

"Officially titled the Infiniti M35 Hybrid, the new sedan is scheduled to go on sale in the spring of 2011, which means it will most likely come in as a 2012 model."

Super strong, highly aerodynamic and based on the FM (Front-Midship) platform, the M35 delivers incisive handling matched by exceptional ride comfort thanks in part to the world-first use of double-piston dampers. The M35 in Geneva is shown in luxury GT form complete with semi-aniline leather and White Ash wood trim with silver-powder finish.

The Driver's Hybrid: Low Co2 Infiniti With the Power to Please

"Innovative electric technology and an undiluted driving experience come together in Infiniti’s first hybrid, making its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show today. The low CO2 champion of the all-new M Line sedan range, the Infiniti M35 HYBRID steers the hybrid advantage from the city to the open road – and into the arms of all those who love their driving."

"Just how efficient the M35 HYBRID’s electric side is was shown in a rigorous test program in the US based on day-in, day-out driving over a three-month period on a route that took in not just busy city streets but also suburbs, freeways and even mountain roads. The results showed that the M35 HYBRID was able to drive in electric-only mode, with zero tailpipe emissions, for as much as 50 per cent of the time."

Infiniti's first hybrid at Geneva 2010"For Infiniti the possibilities are endless! After teasing us with the Essence concept at last year’s Geneva show, the up-and-coming luxury arm of Nissan has revealed a petrol-electric version of its BMW 5-Series rival – the M35 Hybrid."

"A powerful 3.5-litre V6 engine, coupled to a 67bhp electric motor with 270Nm built into the 7-speed automatic transmission all add up to a luxury car that should be both fast and frugal."

"There are no performance figures yet, but expect equivalent performance to a V8-powered 5-Series. And Infiniti has confirmed that it will go on sale early next year."
