The M35 hybrid at its LA Auto Show debut
Nissan’s first proprietary hybrid drive hits the streets
When the Infiniti M35 hybrid goes on sale on March 16, it’s base price will be $54,575. Fully loaded, however, the M35 hybrid will top out at $66,375.
Nevertheless, the M35 hybrid will undercut the competition – the Lexus GS 450h – by around $4000.
The base 360-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 powered M35 Hybrid includes leather seats, 18-inch aluminum-alloy rims, Active Noise Control, Infiniti’s Intelligent Key with push button start, XM satellite radio, Bluetooth and a moonroof. However, upgraded 18-inch wheels are available, as well as a $3000 Technology Package, a $3,800 Deluxe Touring package and a $3,350 Premium Package.
Nice to see Nissan put its first proprietary hybrid drive into real world action, even if only in a luxury model few will purchase. Hopefully, this drive will soon find its way into other Nissan products.
