[FONT=&]Following is a more detailed overview of Infiniti products for the 2013 model year:[/FONT]
[FONT=&]2013 Infiniti JX[/FONT]
[FONT=&]The all-new Infiniti JX offers real 3-row utility, plus all the premium features, performance and innovations that Infiniti has become known for worldwide. The breakthrough JX design offers excellent legroom in all three rows and ample cargo room behind the 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] row. In addition, an innovative multi-mode middle seat design provides entry to the 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] row without removing a 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] row child seat.[/FONT]
[FONT=&]The JX also continues Infiniti’s tradition of developing world’s first technologies with the introduction of the Back-Up Collision Intervention™ (BCI) system. With this technology, when the transmission is in reverse, the JX will help the driver detect crossing vehicles, as well as objects behind the vehicle, and, if necessary, the system can automatically engage the brakes to help avoid a collision. [/FONT]
[FONT=&]Among the other advanced standard or available technology found throughout the new JX are Infiniti Connection™ with Google Calendar[SUP]TM[/SUP], Drive Zone/Speed Alert and Infiniti Personal Assistant; Around View® Monitor (AVM) with Moving Object Detection (MOD); Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Lane Departure Prevention (LDP); Intelligent Cruise Control (Full-Speed Range); Distance Control Assist (DCA); Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA) with Forward Collision Warning (FCW); Active Trace Control; Front Pre-Crash Seat Belts; and a Bose[SUP]®[/SUP] Cabin Surround[SUP]®[/SUP] 15-speaker sound system with digital 5.1-channel decoding and new Acoustic Waveguide subwoofer.[/FONT]
[FONT=&]Offered in both front-wheel drive and with Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, the JX features a standard 265-horsepower 3.5-liter DOHC V6 mated to a sport-tuned Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) to provide high responsiveness and seamless, efficient shifting feel. The CVT can mimic a step transmission when the Sport mode of the Infiniti drive selector is engaged. The CVT design also features a wide gear ratio and low friction design. [/FONT]
[FONT=&]Fuel economy is rated at 24 mpg Highway, 18 mpg City and a real-world 21 mpg Combined for the FWD model and 23 mpg Highway, 18 mpg City and 20 mpg Combined for the AWD model – while still offering the power to carry a full load or passengers and cargo.[/FONT]
[FONT=&]The 2013 JX is offered in two fully equipped models – Infiniti JX35 FWD and Infiniti JX35 AWD – and is assembled in Smyrna, Tenn.[/FONT]
[FONT=&]2013 Infiniti M[/FONT]

[FONT=&]The M37 features a 330-horsepower 3.7-liter V6 engine, while the M56 offers a 420-horsepower 5.6-liter V8.

Estimated fuel economy is 27 mpg City, 32 mpg Highway, with combined fuel economy rated at 29 mpg. [/FONT]
[FONT=&]All five 2013 Infiniti M models once again combine dramatic sports exterior styling with a roomy, comfortable interior environment that features standard leather-appointed seating, standard Japanese Ash wood trim or available silver powdered genuine White Ash wood trim and available premium audio and climate control systems.

[FONT=&]– [/FONT][FONT=&]Forest Air® system, which helps reduce the intrusion of unpleasant odors into the cabin and provides natural “breeze-like” airflow.[/FONT]
[FONT=&]– [/FONT][FONT=&]Eco Pedal, which provides driver feedback to encourage eco-driving behavior[/FONT]
[FONT=&]– [/FONT][FONT=&]Active Trace Control, which adjusts engine torque and the control of braking at each of the four wheels to help enhance cornering performance. [/FONT]
