Infiniti planning its first diesel engine for the upcoming M-Series

Speaking with our insiders, 4wheelsnews was able to find out that Infiniti is currently planning to introduce its first vehicle powered by a diesel engine. It appears that the new V6 diesel engine will make its debut together with the new M-Series sedan, next year at the Geneva Motor Show.

Additionally, Nissan will also introduce this new V6 power plant on the Maxima but this is not all: the Infiniti G-Series, EX Crossover and the FX line will also receive this new engine. Regarding the 4 cylinder engines (diesel or petrol), our source said the these engines are not planned for Infiniti, so do not expect small engines!

FROM PESCARA, Italy:
Bellissima automobile la Infiniti M!!. Davvero una valida e bella alternativa all’ Audi A6, Mercedes CLASSE E e Bmw SERIE 5, anche se nei confronti di queste non vanta la stessa artricolazione di motorizzazioni. Ma alla fine quello che conta è la versione diesel!! Se davvero dovessero presentare una versione motorizzata diesel, come pare che sia, e con un prezzo “giusto”, la M farebbe molta concorrenza ai soliti tedeschi e alla Jaguar XF e Volvo S 80. Io personalmente la trovo molto interessante e un modello diesel lo prenderei seriamente in considerazione al momento di sostituire l’auto, perchè la M fa parte del segmento di mercato a cui faccio riferimento, avendo posseduto negli ultimi anni una Citroen XM, una A.R. 166 e una Jaguar, che guido tutt’ora!
