Models and Pricing
Infiniti sells its large sedan in two primary flavors – the V-6 powered M35 and the V-8 powered M45. Prices start at $44,065 for the rear-wheel-drive M35 and $45,815 for the all-wheel-drive M35x, including a $715 destination charge. Each comes standard with 10-way power front seats, a power moonroof, leather upholstery and interior trim, a 160-watt sound system featuring a six-disc CD changer and XM satellite service, and a dual-zone climate control system. Befitting its luxury status, the entire M lineup also features a power tilt and telescoping steering wheel and Bluetooth hands-free connectivity, not to mention a push-button ignition system as well as front-side and side-curtain airbags.
Of course, Infiniti has provided plenty of options, such as the Advanced Technology Package ($2,800), which packs on a 14-speaker Bose Surround Sound System, intelligent cruise control, Lane Departure Warning and Prevention systems, and more; the Sport Package, composed of 19-inch alloys wrapped in 245/40R19 summer rubber, rear active steering, sport suspension and seats, and more for $1,650; and the Technology Package with its iPod interface, navigation system, XM NavTraffic, and more for $3,350. If that all sounds good to you, it might be best to simply opt for the Premium Package, which for $9,650, includes the Technology and Advanced Technology Packages, power and heated rear seas, and rear climate controls.
For those who want V-8 power under the hood, the starting prices rise to $51,715 for the rear-drive M45 and $54,215 for the all-wheel-drive M45x. These figures include the $715 destination charge and a $1,300 gas guzzler tax, and along with the addition of the Technology, Advanced Technology and Sport Packages, brought the price of our 2008 Infiniti M45 test car to $57,865.
