Infiniti - Japanese manufacturer of luxury cars leading his story with not too far 1989. This brand is a premium division of Nissan and was created for competition with Acura and Lexus in North American, and later in other markets.
By analogy with other Japanese premium stamps, almost every Infiniti model has its own analogue in the Nissan gamut, or is based on the Nissanovsky base.

Infinity engines are the same Nissan motors (less often Mercedes-Benz), but exceptionally large and powerful, as it should be luxurious. The most modest models are completed with the turbocharged row fours from Mercedes and Nissanovsky V6 called VQ25, as well as popular VQ35 and VQ37. The last two engines are extremely common and found on many models of the brand. Under the hood of large sedans and SUVs are hidden rather large V8 such as VK45, VK50 and VK56.
As for old models, in the 90s on Infiniti, 4-cylinder SR20DE was installed, as well as VG30, VH45, VH41 and other motors.
Diesel engines can not be found, but some models are installed 3-liter V9x and OM651 from Mercedes with a 2.1 liter working volume.
Infinity hybrid motors are gaining popularity and are increasingly installed instead of conventional gasoline power plants. Their gamma consists of VQ35HR and QR25DER.
Also on the sports models of this brand install the reduced version of the GTR-ox motor, which is called VR30DTT.

By choosing your car model in the list below, you will find the reviews and technical characteristics of Infiniti engines, their differences from each other, which modifications are issued and on which cars are found. In addition, you will learn the basic disadvantages, diseases, problems and repair of infinity engines, their resource, how much butter in the motor, which oil you need to use and how often it needs to be changed. If the power of the standard engine is not enough, then we will tell how to increase power as rationally, without spending a lot of money.
All this information will help you choose the best motor of this manufacturer and enjoy the trouble-free operation of your car.

Diesel sabotage in the premium mill. New three-liter motor for Infiniti FX ... Do I need to cry for the death of the Infiniti brand? Refrained from this. Although they rolled to diesel engines, and who knows, maybe, the release of three-wheeled durandlets and pedal tarants.

No, better silent. Bentally, uninteresting. What is the difference that is available under the Infiniti brand? Why not diesel? Electromotors will also soon emerge. However, we remember this brand as a manufacturer of incendiary gasoline bombs. It is gasoline. What kind of diesel approached - V10 or V12? No impossible. No any. Lexus, for example, forgot about diesel and makes a bet on hybrids. Why did infiniti need this experiment? Actually, the three-liter diesel engine of Nissan is steeper similar to Toyota motor, maybe, so they ignore the hybrid direction? "Nissanovsky" aggregate Mountain-ah-health faster. He comes to hundreds for 8.3 seconds, and with the "Toyotsky" engine Infiniti would be more than 11.

Premium campaign. On off-road it looks like a submarine in the steppes of Ukraine

Alcoholic with turbiumon
Infiniti - brand rested. She is bought, so that if not to blow up, at least to shake the reality around themselves, to let small tsunami. Does diesel be able to serve on this field? There is a chance. They put similar motors on Mercedes ML - and nothing, the public goes, is satisfied with everything. True, the audience is different. Diesel ML for crowd financiers, such about which you definitely do not say, are they going to sleep at nine in pajamas or only after eight beers of beer unconscious. Women they are or former prosecutors. Everything is covered with a mystery. Infiniti frankly. It is not for a mythical character in a T-shirt-alcoholic and a clock with a tourbillon. It is generally a projection of the possession of the owner: everything you can say about the appearance of FX will be true and about its owner. The design is above all, and diesel has nothing to do with it. Motor does not play any role. However, would FX be initially so popular in Russia, if it were not hidden under the hood fame five-liter lighters? Would able to achieve the level of a semi-culnible machine with a tractor unit?

What else does?
Despite the complete absence of ergonomics, the interior of Infiniti invariably gives joy and light

Fascinates in virats
Marketers from Nissan behave strangely. First, they work on the manner of the bold chassis with a pronounced rear-wheel drive, which lears in winter on ice, but fascinates in the abrasions. Then they put the wool wheels, such that when braking, it is necessary to bood well, compensating for the bodies. In other words, they do everything to marvel the autoinadustry scumbags. As a result, the spiritual fraternity of Infiniti fans already resembles the sect. Such, you know, a simple sect of the car owners, addicted to prying the hermaphrodites, frolic in the bath with quail fat, or to arrange the fights of Eric Kurmanganiyev and Boris Yeltsin in the tunnels under the sparrow mountains. And at the peak of this paranoia, Nissan introduces a three-liter motor on black fuel in a banquet hall, almost shot from the corn combine. I imagine the faces of the participants of the Pir. No, the diesel engine for Infiniti is not positively suitable, and will no longer be about it. Stop talk about this.

Circles before your eyes. Remove from here blue backlight - and the devices will completely lose individuality

Oblomovshchyna
It remains only to drive on a new three-liter FX. Feel what and how, and tell you about your feelings. I sit, I start the engine, food and ... well, no way. Sound - Nature diesel hum. The gasoline engine sings much more beautiful and more pleasant. Where did the nobility? In the whole of this venture with the unit on the "Solyark" there is some unnaturality, as if the air ball was tightened to the globe. I already wrote about this diesel when we tested Nissan Pathfinder. His character, like Oblomov, maybe, but does not particularly want. He would have a valuable trailer ... It is great for a universal SUV, but for a premium crossover ... Yes, he has a big plus - he eats a bit, less than 12 liters per hundred, but the Toreador, on which the owner's projection pulls FX, German Rationality is not to face. Maybe all the same in vain infiniti brand ignores the topic of hybrids?

Buyers of luxury soddes should always be a choice. Want power? You are welcome! Dynamics? Get, but you have to pay extra. Well, do you have a diesel? "Infiniti" did not have an answer to this question.

The Presentation of the FX with the engine at the "heavy" fuel is not accidental in Bavaria. Competitors - "Porsche", "Mercedes-Benz", BMW - such motors in width. Diesel in the car such a high class is synonymous with success in Europe. The Japanese came to the old world only in 2008, because they are forced to catch up, but they do it quickly. For Russia, the appearance of new items means expanding the gamma, which is also not bad, since the FX leader of the model range of the brand (in 2011 sold 3306 pieces) and an increase in the proposal is necessary. We also gradually realize the benefits of economical motors. According to forecasts, until 2016, the proportion of diesel engines in the segment will grow by 4%. And the struggle for buyers will unfold as serious.

The three-liter Motor V9x is the product of the Renault Nissan Alliance. The block is cast from a modified cast iron, which gives it 75% greater rigidity than the part from the usual alloy, and the mass decreases by 22%. Torque 550 N.MM is available at 1750 rpm. 5-liter gasoline V8, the most powerful in the line, is 500 NM at 4400 rpm.

The first impression of FX is smooth and pleasant. On the streets of Munich floats, like a ship, in the automotive stream, in German correct. At idle of any tapura, but I slightly added to gas - I hear the "gasoline" bass. The exhaust system was specifically set up, achieving noble sound. The suspension is dense, but not tough, although the soughs stand on 20-inch wheels (their design has changed this year). But in Russia with its quality asphalt sensations can change. Overclocking confident and the same comfortable. On an unlimited autobahn, the car easily holds 170 km / h, without making digging or star. The average consumption of 11.4 liters per hundred when driving around the city, winding rural roads and highways are quite acceptable.

Diesel FX is suitable for those who drive a lot and indifferent to very fast overclocks. But will they buy a car in Russia? It depends on marketers, whose task is to create an appropriate image. Prices for this class are not translated - from 2,590,000 to 2,954,000 rubles. The main thing is that the sacrifice can stand competition with the Germans. After all, and we are selling diesel cars with might and main. Example infected the Japanese. But they, as in Europe, have to catch up, and it is always not easy.

View for the future

The main external difference between the FX 2012 model year is the radiator grille in the style of the concept of "Infinity Essence" (photo above), presented at the 79th International Auto Show in Geneva. Its 600-strong benzoelectric engine as if hinted: wait in the model range of something sports and powerful.

This "something" will be "FX Vettel" (FX Vettel, photo below) with 420-strong 5-liter V8 ( Pros, 2012, No. 1, p. 127. ), Which from the project will turn into the goods. Now discusses the quotas of cars for Russia for 2013 and prices.

The exclusive, created by the creative director of the Siro Nakakura brand in collaboration with the racing team "Red Bull racing" and its first number - the two-time world champion in the Formula 1 Sebastian Vettel, will be more expensive than a regular car equipped with a 5-liter engine. And for the buyer, they organize a special departure to the Grand Prix stage or in the headquarters of the team.

It is impossible to say that Infiniti pays little attention to diesel engines and focuses on gasoline engines. Many models have their own diesel configurations, but they are noticeably less than gasoline options. So, for example, the SUV infinity QX4 is completely devoid of diesel engines, which, oddly enough, did not affect his sales. Nevertheless, we will devote this article to the Diesel engine from infinity, at the end touched upon the characteristic disadvantages of the manufacturer's motors.

We are talking about a 3-liter diesel engine V6 with a direct injection, which was equipped with the Infiniti EX30D crossover and the M30D popular sedan, which has shown the highest torque in its class - 550 nm. The special layout of the EX engine compartment, originally designed for gasoline engines, required to reduce the size of the diesel engine, as well as the angle of collapse of its cylinders, which should be as close as possible to 60 degrees. It was necessary for the location of the engine and in the longitudinal, and in transverse directions. To this end, a V-shaped layout was used with an unusual corner of the collapse of 65 degrees. Thanks to this, the engine received the required balance of the crankshaft reliability, the cylinder block and the balance, and also obtained the possibility of installing a turbocharger into the collapse of cylinders.

One of the main composure success of the engine from infinity was the material of the cylinder block. Traditionally used aluminum alloys ensured insufficient rigidity and reduction in noise levels. Therefore, compacted gray cast iron (CGI) has been additionally used with all the advantages of traditional cast iron, providing, with a minor increase in mass, higher rigidity rates, decrease noise and vibration. And although the gray cast iron is heavier than light alloys, it was possible to minimize the increase in mass due to the absence of additional ribs of hardness, the installation of which required the use of alloy structures.

In addition, other original solutions should be noted that allowed a diesel motor to withstand significant loads with solid power and torque indicators. This includes a rigid and wide dusty surface, the elongated lower part of the cylinder block made of gray cast iron, a direct mounting of mounted knots to the Carder, a special design of the oil pan and other solutions. All this made it possible to create a powerful, turning and compact Diesel V9X with a high stiffness of the design and softness in work, with the smallest vibration indicators at frequencies 250 and 500 Hertz.

As for the characteristic features of all infinity motors, they are bound primarily with oil level. For example, in the FX35 and FX45 models, only 4.5 liters of oil are flooded, which requires the driver of constant monitoring of its presence. At the same time, an oil probe is extremely unsuccessfully located in the same Infiniti FX35, which is difficult to return the narrow and hard-to-reaching neck. With insufficient fixation, the oil can drive the dipstick and it will be lost when driving. We note the lack of the oil level sensor in many models, which is why it should be even more closely monitoring its level and pay attention to the emergency pressure sensor - a slight darring with sharp starts and turns says that the clock is time to pay close attention.

Of the most sought-after spare parts and consumables for engines of Auto Infiniti, we note the following:

This year, for the first time in the Russian market, sales of the Infiniti model with a diesel engine are started - Infiniti FX30D, whose characteristics deserve the most attentive consideration. At least in order to understand the level of manufacturing this premium business parkerchief. In it you will find a lot of interesting things ...

First Diesel Infiniti FX30D - Characteristics, Prices

Recall that the FX model takes a confident position in the highly competitive SUV segment of the premium class, and the appearance of a diesel modification will strengthen the Infiniti proposal in this segment. The high torque of the diesel engine Infiniti FX30D opens up new troughs of driving pleasure. Infiniti FX30D Diesel outlined all the best quality of the premium car and in dynamics and comfort approaches the sports model with a gasoline engine, while distinguishing the fuel efficiency and a large stock of the stroke.

The Infiniti FX 2012 model year crossover received a number of updates. The design of the front part of Infiniti FX has become more aggressive due to changes in the radiator grille, headlights and the front bumper. The car is equipped with 20-inch new design wheels. There were also changes in the interior: the arrows on the updated dashboard are now made in white, the route computer received a new screen and completely Russified.

Characteristics Infiniti FX30D motor

The diesel modification of the luxurious crossover Infiniti FX is equipped with a V6 engine with a volume of 3.0 liters (238 hp) and a torque of 550 nm, which combines compliance with strict environmental standards and impressive power and dynamism. The maximum speed is 212 km / h, acceleration is 0-100 km / h in 8.3 sec. Fuel consumption in the mixed cycle is 9.0 l / 100 km, in the country cycle - 7.8l / 100km, and the reserve of the rusty cycle is 1100 km.

Diesel engine delivered to the car provides excellent sports qualities. The main thing in Infiniti is the pleasure of driving a car, and a special emphasis on it is made in the Sport configuration, which is now equipped with the system of active infringement of the rear wheels RAS. All versions of the diesel modification of the FX are equipped with an adaptive 7-speed ACP inherited from the gasoline version of FX, with submissive gear switches.

Diesel engine V6 with a volume of 3.0 liters and up to 175 kW (238 hp) developed jointly by Infiniti and Nissan engineers. The main task when creating the engine was compliance with the main values \u200b\u200bof the Infiniti brand and ensuring excellent driving sensations.

Especially for this engine engineers improved fuel injection system. The unique components of the engine include: cylinder block, crankshaft, intake manifold, fuel injection system, exhaust gas recirculation, turbocharger, oil pallet and exhaust gases in the exhaust manifold.

To obtain the maximum gain from compactness, equilibrium and reliability, the turbocharger was placed in the collapse of the block (the corner of the collapse is 65 degrees). The block heads are made of aluminum alloy, and the block itself is from a compacted gray cast iron (CGI) and has tremendous strength at low mass. CGI provides up to 75% higher hardness than ordinary cast iron, and its use to cast the engine cylinder block leads to a decrease in mass by 22%.

The turbocharger with an adjustable nozzle apparatus allows you to raise power up to 175 kW (238 hp) at 3750 rpm, which puts this engine in one row with the most powerful diesel engines having a single-stage supervision. The maximum torque of the new V6 is 550 N M Total at 1750 rpm and is at the level of the best engine in its class.

The result was an engine with high dynamic characteristics in the field of low speed and the magnificent softness of work. It demonstrates exemplary pickup, and although the noise level is minimized, the special setting of the exhaust system gives it a special sporty "voice", which manifests itself with a sharp acceleration at a frequency of about 2500 rpm.

Characteristics Infiniti FX30D by layout

The rigid architecture of the car platform is boring the weight distribution between bridges like a sports car that, in combination with a low location of the center of gravity, provides high stability when turning turns. Due to the widespread use of lightweight components, including aluminum front and rear doors, the FX30D model is one of the easiest in its class.

Double front suspension in combination with multi-gravel rear, which appeared on FX in 2008, used on the model with a diesel engine. In addition, in the sports version, a system of variable suspension stiffness (CDC) is used, as well as a system of active infringement of the rear wheels. Unlike passive infringement systems, a high-precision electric drive is used in the active system, which controls the position of the rear wheels, which increases the stability of the movement at high speed and maneuverability at the low speed. FX steering depends on the velocity of the car and provides the driver excellent feedback.

The softness and "refining" of the engine are underlined by a smooth seven-step automatic infiniti gearbox. The box parameters are selected in such a way as to fully implement all the advantages of the high torque. Adaptive gear shift control (ASC) is accurately adjusted for the external characteristic of the diesel engine and provides excellent dynamics and optimization of fuel consumption. In the range "D", smooth and dynamic driving is ensured, and the choice of the "DS" range leads to a displacement of the moment of switching to higher revolutions. As with the FX with gasoline engines, the diesel version has stealless gear switches that provide accurate control in manual mode.

The FX30D model uses one of the most advanced full drive systems: Advanced Total Traction Engineering System for All Electronic Torque Split (Attesa E-TS) is an electronic torque flow control system on each wheel. The ATTESA E-TS system uses the advanced principle of regulating the torque distribution, at which the optimal torque is automatically transmitted to the wheels in accordance with the conditions of the road and movement.

The system provides excellent controllability due to the optimal distribution of torque between the front and rear wheels (from 50:50 to 0: 100). Attesa E-TS also provides a high level of clutch and smooth, stable acceleration, especially in snow cover conditions and off-road with a torque distribution 50:50 when starting with zero speed.

Infiniti FX30D: Review of brakes

Efficient braking is ensured by the ventilated disc brakes of all 4-wheels, with 4-piston opposite calipers in front and 2-piston opposite calipers behind. Emergency braking assistance system (BA) and electronic brake force distribution system (EBD) are included in the standard vehicle equipment.

Feeding FX30 Elegance + Navi AWD, FX30 Sport + Navi AWD, FX30 Sport Black + Navi AWD also include such active safety options as adaptive cruise control, an obstacle to prevent an obstacle (FCW) and an intelligent braking system (IBA).

The system preventing an obstacle provides a safe distance to ahead of the car. When the cruise control is turned off, and it makes most drivers, both systems - IBA and FCW - work constantly. They not only warn the driver to reduce the distance to the cargo of the car, but also perform a preliminary increase in pressure in the brake drive, preparing for emergency braking.

Athletic appearance Infiniti FX is one of the main factors defining the decision of the buyers when choosing this model. Diesel modification Infiniti FX30 repeats the appearance of gasoline versions. Characteristic features of Infiniti FX are a long hood, a developed "shoulder belt", the profile of windows is like a "coupe" body. One glance on FX is enough to feel the charismaticness of this car.

Sales Infiniti FX30D: Prices

The interior of the FX is as thoroughly thought out as its appearance. The driver-oriented cockpit emphasizes the sports character of the car, and expensive natural materials and the subtle study of all the details of the finish create a premium atmosphere. As with all the Infiniti FX 2012 model year, the dashboard has acquired an even more spectacular and sporty view of the new screen of the route computer and white appliance shooters, in addition, the route computer has become a fully Russified.

The FX30D model is offered in several options for FX30 Elegance C, underlined luxurious trim and fitting Sport with a sports bias. In Russia, Infiniti FX3O diesel is available at a price of 2,590,000 rubles, and the price of gasoline modifications FX 2012 model year will start with a mark of 2,574,000 rubles.
