Cold running engines and startups are the enemy of every manufacturer who wants to make a really green start. And this is exactly where Infiniti’s focus was when improving the powertrain of the M35h for the European market.
For this year, the M35h doesn’t come with any cosmetic improvements, even though it might need them. Instead, the sporty hybrid sedan has been tweaked to only emit 160 grams per km of CO2.

At 159g/km, the latest Infiniti M35h qualifies for the higher rate of Write Down Allowance (WDA), allowing companies to claim 20% of the car’s cost as capital expenditure per year, where as before it only got 10% WDA per year.

“The Infiniti M35h is already popular with companies seeking a luxury saloon with no compromise on performance or fuel consumption. Now with its no-compromise approach to running costs, it offers fleet buyers a car that is both hugely enticing and entirely sensible – a combination we think they will approve of,” stated the newly-appointed UK Fleet Sales Manager Simon Lewis.

Despite the improved efficiency, the M35h’s engine still offers the same power output: 359bhp (364PS), which is equivalent to a 0-100km/h (62mph) sprint time of 5.5 seconds.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s.
