What's New for 2013
For 2013, the Infiniti M Sport package is now available on all-wheel-drive models. Newly standard features for all models include auto-dimming outside mirrors and a power soft-close trunk lid. Some optional features have also been shuffled as well.
Introduction
Automakers throw the word "sport" around as much as teenage girls use the word "like." After a certain point, your mind filters out those overused words and discards them as filler. It is refreshing when a word is used appropriately, and in the case of the 2013 Infiniti M, "sport" is certainly fitting.
Among luxury sedans, the Infiniti M is a definite draw for drivers who enjoy a healthy dose of athleticism with their creature comforts. In terms of power and acceleration, the V6-powered M37 and V8-powered M56 will keep up with their German counterparts in a straight line. It's when the road begins to bend, however, that the Infiniti M pulls away. This level of road-holding prowess does come with a compromise in ride quality, as the M will transmit a few more road imperfections into the otherwise calm cabin.
Stiffer ride notwithstanding, the Infiniti M lineup compares favorably with its more established rivals. The interior boasts top-notch materials and a long list of standard and optional electronic features, all of which are thoughtfully placed and expertly executed. Besides the conventionally powered models, there's also an M35h hybrid, which gets up to speed right with the M56, yet bests the M37 in terms of fuel economy. Its price premium isn't all that substantial either, making it the most appealing model here in our opinion.
