The luxury and large car market in China is supposed to be ready to grow even more in 2012 and in response, automakers are preparing to meet that demand with new, longer versions of their current models. Infiniti is ready to take on the market with the new M Long Wheelbase at the 2012 Beijing Auto Show.
The new Infiniti M Long Wheelbase will be offered in two versions: M35hL hybrid and M25L. The M35h L is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine mated to an electric motor for a total output of 359 HP, while the M25L features a 2.5-liter V6 with an output of 232 HP. Compared to a standard Infiniti M, the new Long Wheelbase version features a longer wheelbase that grows by 5.9 inches to a total of 120 inches.
"The Infiniti M long-wheel-base ? available in M35hL hybrid and M25 normally aspirated versions ? is the first high-end Infiniti luxury sedan tailor-made for Chinese customers," said Nissan?s vice president Andy Palmer. "It strikes a perfect balance between outstanding performance and environmental sustainability and brings a new challenger to China?s premium car market."
The new Infiniti M Long Wheelbase will go on sale in China starting June 2012.
