The Infiniti M Hybrid has been named to WardsAuto.com and WardsAuto World magazine's prestigious Ward's 10 Best Engines list for 2012. It was the only hybrid engine included on the list.
To be eligible for Ward’s 10 Best Engines, each engine must be available in a regular-production U.S.-specific model on sale no later than first-quarter 2012, in a vehicle with a base price below $55,000.
“We put it to the test in a holiday road test to the east coast. The M35h showed off by depowering its V6 during steady-state cruising for up to a minute, even at speeds of up to more than 70 mph. It was an impressive display and easily earned a spot in Ward’s 10 Best Engines of 2012.”
Featuring the innovative Infiniti Direct Response Hybrid™ system — a one-motor, two-clutch parallel hybrid system — the M35h delivers the performance expected from a luxury sports sedan with the fuel efficiency of a compact car.
The 3.5-liter DOHC 24-valve V6 engine is paired with a 50 kW electric motor, providing a hybrid system net power of 360 horsepower. Fuel economy figures are estimated at 32 mpg Highway, 27 mpg City and 29 mpg Combined. [*]
