2011 Infiniti M: Overview

Vehicle Highlights

The 2011 Infiniti M is redesigned, with freshened styling, more power, and new features. This premium midsize sedan slots above the brand's G37 in size and price. V6 and V8 engines will be available, and models so equipped will be dubbed M37 and M56, respectively. M37 should have a 330-hp 3.7-liter V6 engine while the M56 likely will have a 400-hp 5.6-liter V8. The sole transmission for both models likely will be a 7-speed automatic. Rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive should be available on both M models. Available safety features should include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain side airbags, and front side airbags. Newly available on the M is a blind-spot-alert system, which is designed to alert the driver if another vehicle is detected in an adjacent lane during an intended lane change. The system would then help assist the driver in returning the vehicle toward the center of the original lane of travel. Other available features should include a navigation system and a sport suspension. We have not yet tested the 2011 Infiniti M.
