The Infiniti M35h merges his electric and internal combustion engine with two connectors in a particularly clever and efficient way. Test the 364 PS strong hybrid sedan.
Sneaks an older Schwabe at a Stuttgart-based gas station to the Infiniti M35H with a critical view and commented "the isch koin Daimler dry to come with the schwabischsten all questions:"I of the schparsam?" Oh yes, that's it. The M35h has only a few hours ago the 280 km of the restrained driven auto motor und sport consumption round completed, with 6.4 L / 100 km the record gasoline units of upper-middle class established the Lexus GS 450 h so that by the stingy throne met with and undercut its NEDC indication by nine per cent;
Since he has become a good SIP Super plus probably deserves. The amazing thing to this economy is that it will bring the Infiniti M35h with relatively simple technology. While the sinfully expensive two-mode hybrids in principle, only invented to spoil the study of vehicle technicians, and power verzweigtes system understood Toyota's in its entirety only by engineers, it makes it easy to the Infiniti M35h: behind the 3, 5-litre V6 is an electro-mechanically actuated clutch, behind it an electric motor with 50 kW (68 PS), followed by the six-speed automatic transmission and finally again a clutch. If the Infiniti M35h does not require its V6, it simply opens the first clutch - visible also in the energy of the on-board display.
An efficiency reducing oil bath torque converter is not used in this system. Here is the only real weakness of the hybrid unit: specifically the above Infiniti M35h closes a noticeably ruckend, where a Lexus just gently further flows. But then takes out the precious Nissan also has its advantages. Thanks to his energy-rich 1, 4-kWh lithium ion battery, whirring he surprisingly often in pure electric mode up to 100 km and heading for very low speeds especially in eco mode (active gegensteuerndes Accelerator) as quickly as possible.
In contrast to the Lexus Hybrid, the Infiniti M35h also at highway speed is his gas to decouple. The reward is a test consumption, which also boasts 11.1 L / 100 km. Have we forgotten anything? Yes, that this hybrid specialist accelerates in 5.9 seconds at the same time athletic to 100 km/h.
