Infiniti puts a new twist on elegant classic
Q40 model packs the power, and sports stylish look
The Infiniti Q40 keeps the styling, performance and luxury car buyers have come to expect from the brand while adding modern touches and amenities. Park Place Infiniti General Manager Joe Tortomasi said the car is a favorite with customers.
“The Infiniti Q40 offers a powerful 328-horsepower engine that gives drivers sporty performance and a track record for dependability in a stylish package,” he said.
In U.S. News and World Report’s ranking of best cars, reviewers said the 2015 Infiniti Q40 “has agile handling, strong brakes and is very fun to drive.”
The 2015 Q40 Infiniti, available at Park Place Infiniti at 5555 W. Sahara Ave., also has been lauded by Kelley Blue Book for delivering bang for the buck with its comfortable interior and powerful 3.7-liter V6 engine.
Left Lane News called the new rendition, “a strong choice for value-conscious luxury buyers who like to have fun behind the wheel.”
And AutoTrader applauded the model’s “brilliant driving dynamics” because “it excels at coddling its passengers.”
The 2015 Q40 delivers a zero-to-60 sprint in just more than five seconds; its Infiniti V6 engine delivers its 269 poundfeet of torque.
The 2015 Q40 has the Infiniti front-midship chassis layout, which puts the engine behind the front-wheel centerline rather than over the front wheels. As a result, the Q40 exhibits outstanding balance. The sports car-inspired fourwheel independent suspension uses a double-wishbone front layout and a multilink rear arrangement.
The Infiniti Q40’s chiseled lines and alluring curves convey power and elegance. The interior showcases standard leather-covered seating, Fine Vision electroluminescent gauges and unique “Shodo” aluminum trim. Other standard features include heated and eight-way power-adjustable front seats, Infiniti Intelligent Key with push-button start, Bluetooth hands-free phone system and rearview monitor.
The Q40 offers just two factory options — the Navigation Plus Package and a moon roof. The “Plus” in Navigation Plus includes Infiniti voice recognition and Infiniti Studio on Wheels by Bose audio system. Drivers can also stream audio via Bluetooth.
The navigation system features NavTraffic with real-time traffic, and NavWeather with real-time weather and three-day forecast.
