Benefits of Buying an Infiniti Hybrid

There are a number of benefits the owner gets from an Infiniti Hybrid available from Lake Norman Infiniti, but here are the key ones:

Reduced Fuel Costs

This is the most obvious, and the reason nearly everyone purchases an Infiniti Hybrid. All Infiniti hybrid models get at least six miles per gallon more than their conventionally-powered siblings. This means that the hybrid gets an extra 100-120 miles per fill-up. For a moderate driver, this can mean a savings of hundreds of dollars per year.

Reduced Emissions

Not just because of better gas mileage, the engines found in Infiniti Hybrid vehicles produce less emissions than the conventional engines. The reliance on the electric engine to power many of the electrical features, instead of relying on mechanical energy through the gas-powered engine, lowers emissions.

No Wasted Idling

All Infiniti Hybrid vehicles feature start-stop technology, which means that fuel is not burned when sitting at stop lights in Charlotte, in the parking lots of Huntersville, or otherwise parked but with the ignition turned on. When the hybrid comes to a stop, it turns off the gas engine. When it’s time to move, the car will start in motion under electric power, then switch to gas as the engine restarts and comes back to work.

Makes You Feel Like You’re Helping

Most drivers may not own up to this, but it’s true – one of the benefits of buying an Infiniti Hybrid is the feeling that you are chipping in and helping to reduce your impact on the environment. The owner of an Infiniti Hybrid knows that, day in and day out, they are driving a vehicle that does less damage to the environment and to their wallets than a conventionally-powered vehicle.

Infiniti Hybrids Available near Charlotte, NC

Infiniti currently carries three models that are available with the hybrid powertrain, two sedans and one sport utility vehicle.

2014 Infiniti Q50 Hybrid

Infiniti’s entry-level vehicle, available in rear- and all-wheel drive, the Q50 Hybrid is moderately sporty, producing 360 combined horsepower through the gas and electric engines. Even with this high horsepower, the Hybrid still gets 30 miles per gallon combined. It’s even available as the Q50S, with sport brakes and larger wheels, for added performance. The Infiniti Drive Mode Selector helps the Hybrid engine to be even more economical, allowing the driver to choose from four different drive modes that control the throttle response and the transmission shift points.

2014 Infiniti Q70 Hybrid

The Q70 brings the high-efficiency powertrain to Infiniti’s most luxurious vehicle. Available in one single model, a rear-wheel drive sedan, it is incredibly well-equipped, particularly inside. With leather-appointed seating, Japanese Ash wood trim, and a full array of power accessories, it has a beautiful interior. It also comes stocked with modern safety technology and high-tech entertainment – it’s the perfect car for the environmentally-conscious businessman.

2014 Infiniti QX60 Hybrid

The workhorse of the Infiniti SUV family, the QX60 in its hybrid form is one of the best-equipped and most versatile hybrid SUVs on the market. It’s not the best choice if you anticipate towing heavy loads, as the hybrid engine reduces the towing capability from 5,000 pounds to 3,500 pounds. For all other applications, however, it is the better choice, as it gets 6 miles per gallon more than the conventionally-powered QX60 across the board. So if all you need to do is run soccer teams to Mooresville or you just need a people-hauler to take food and beverages to a Carolina Panthers tailgate down in Charlotte, you’re going to have a hard time finding a better option.
