WHAT IS AN INFINITI DIRECT RESPONSE HYBRID®?

The traditional method for a manufacturer to add power and torque is by adding a bigger engine. Bigger size and a thirstier, gas-guzzling motor was the way to achieve better performance. INFINITI is a brand that is known for innovation and doing things their way. The INFINITI Direct Response Hybrid is another case of this, as the company uses innovative methods to add power, performance and fuel efficiency.INFINITI Direct Response Hybrid?

The INFINITI Direct Response Hybrid is a complex system that leads to better efficiency. According to INFINITI, the Q50 and Q70 Direct Response Hybrids are leaders in their class when it comes to power and fuel economy. These cars produce an impressive 360 to 400 horsepower and massive amounts of torque. The combined, fuel-economy rating for these vehicles is right around 36 MPG.

So, how do these vehicles achieve such efficiency? INFINITI uses a combination of three power plants. First, they use a traditional gasoline engine. Next, they add in an electric motor. Last, of all, they throw in a lithium-ion battery for good measure. All three elements are perfectly balanced to work together in harmony. The perfect balance ensures maximum performance and excellent fuel economy. The system always knows which power source is best for your current driving conditions. It is selected automatically, so you can concentrate on driving.

This hybrid power plant is paired with a 7-speed, automatic transmission system. The transmission is controlled electronically and provides smooth and accurate shifting. It features two modes. Adaptive Shift Control allows you to drive without thinking about gears, as an automatic transmission does. There is also a manual mode that will enable you to shift up and down manually. The Q50 can be purchased in rear-wheel drive or AWD configurations.Visit INFINITI of Peoria
