2011 Infiniti M37 is a luxury sedan and the flagship offering of the car maker. Equipped with a 3.7 liter V-6 engine with 330 horsepower and coupled to a 7-speed automatic transmission, the Infiniti M37 offers all-wheel drive. Wider and longer than earlier versions, the sedan hosts 20-inch alloy wheels in the popular sport package.
The interior of the Infiniti M37 is attractive, luxurious, and well-designed. The M37 sedan has a user-friendly center console and 10.3 cubic-feet of cabin space, accented by premium woods and leathers. With excellent driving manners, the Infiniti M37 performs powerfully and efficiently, thanks in part to its 7-speed automatic. Standard safety features are among the best in the industry, and fuel economy is above average with 18 mpg city/26 mpg highway.
