Over the years, INFINITI has racked up a long list of prestigious accolades. Recently, the INFINITI Q50 received the 2021 AutoPacific Vehicle Satisfaction Award. Owners will be happy for years to come. This is a testament to INFINITI’s commitment to producing vehicles that score well in all the most important categories.

Impressive Performance

When surveyed by AutoPacific, Q50 owners praised the sports sedan for its rewarding driving experience. They like the performance of the car’s twin-turbo V6 engine. While the standard version develops a satisfying 300 horsepower, special tuning enables the Red Sport, 400 models, to crank out 400 horsepower. Drivers can look forward to enjoying strong acceleration. Powerful brakes also ensure optimum stopping power.

Excellent Blend of Sportiness and Luxury

Owners also rave about the Q50’s great seating comfort. Whether running errands or taking a long road trip, they can experience a relaxing ride. Interior quality is another one of the Q50’s strong points. Premium upholstery helps create a luxurious atmosphere.

Top-Notch Safety Scores

The 2021 INFINITI Q50 is among the safest sports sedans on the market. Because of the Q50’s excellent outward visibility, drivers will have an extra sense of awareness. Modern accident-avoidance technologies help inspire drivers with more confidence. Every new Q50 comes standard with Predictive Forward Collision Warning, which constantly scans the road for potential hazards. Forward Emergency Braking is integrated into the system. Other available driving aids include Active Lane Control, Backup Collision Intervention, Blind Spot Intervention, and Intelligent Cruise Control.

Luxury Brands

If you’re in the market for a luxury car, two automakers that you may consider are INFINITI and Acura. Both produce cars that compete against each other in four categories: small luxury cars, luxury compact SUVs, luxury midsize SUVs, and luxury midsize cars. In all classes, vehicles are generally known for their upscale cabins, performance, and high-tech features. If you are comparing models from the two brands, here’s a snapshot of how they compare.

Pricing

One consideration that you’ll be thinking about as you look for a car is price. Of the two automakers, Acura pulls ahead of INFINITI for value and pricing. Acura’s vehicles have lower starting price points in three of the classes where Acura competes with INFINITI.

Reliability

 If you are searching for a car with good reliability ratings, INFINITI is a good bet. The company’s cars consistently rank as some of the most reliable on the market. Additionally, you’ll get warranty coverage when you purchase a new car. As a whole, warranties are typically longer for INFINITI’s vehicles than cars made by Acura. The automaker gets favorable ratings from critics, too, including J.D. Power.

Fuel Efficiency

Another area where Acura excels is fuel efficiency. Acura’s ILX model is ranked as one of the most fuel-efficient vehicles in its class compared to cars from other brands, including INFINITI.

Safety

 Safety is an important consideration when you shop for a new car. While both INFINITI and Acura equip their vehicles with a range of passive and active safety tools, Acura takes the lead when it comes to safe vehicles across the board. Acura’s MDX and TLX models, in particular, are noted for their high safety scores. Acura’s vehicles are also equipped with AcuraWatch, which is a comprehensive package of standard advanced safety aids. Many of the same amenities that are standard on Acura’s cars are offered as available options with an INFINITI.

Performance

For those who want an exhilarating ride, INFINITI’s cars should be a top choice. INFINITI offers strong engines and superior handling. In fact, INFINITI’s vehicles have earned top performance ratings in three of the four categories where the luxury automaker competes against Acura. The QX50, for instance, which is a flagship compact SUV, gets nearly perfect performance scores.

Interior

A truly exquisite interior is a highlight of sedans and SUVs from INFINITI. INFINITI also receives recognition in three of four categories for the quality of its cars’ cabin design. The automaker’s vehicles also have exceptional headroom and legroom, along with a quiet cabin.

FIND YOUR PERFECT CAR IN 2021

January 08, 2021

INFINITI is a luxury brand that Americans happily afford each year. Their generous allotment of features and styles continue to impress car buyers across the country. Known for the luxury sedans and SUVs, INFINITI is an A-list automaker, but there’s a lot to choose from here. How can you find your perfect car in 2021?
Appraise 
What kind of driver are you? Are you that smooth SUV operator who appreciates an interior packed with technology? Or do you want to strip things down to pure driving pleasure and get a 100 MPH sports sedan that outpaces the competition? Are you driving solo, or do you have a large crew to tag along with you on all your daily adventures? By appraising your drive style, you’ll know which INFINITI model suits your needs the best. It might be a full-size luxury SUV, or it might be a performance sedan. INFINITI has tons of options to meet both needs. 
Head Count 
How many people do you need to seat? Is a small coupe going to do it, or do you need a four-door luxury sedan that gives the whole family room to enjoy life together? You’ll also want to take stock of your friends, too. Some folks have a larger daily crew than others. If you head out to the gym with eight friends frequently, you’ll need a full-size SUV. And don’t forget to think about fuel economy, too. Once you know who you’re taking along for the ride, you’ll be able to scan their models more efficiently. 
Way of Life 
Your daily habits are going to chart out a path to the perfect car. For example, some people commute to work in the back and do a few social outings every month, and that’s about all they have time to get around, too. If you’re very busy and are focused mostly on getting back and forth to work, a commuter car might save you money. However, if you have a very active lifestyle where you hit the gym and sporting events and dates every week, then you’ll want to consider a more lively class of vehicles. Think about how you live your life, and look for a vehicle that matches your lifestyle. 
Searching for the perfect car is fun! It’s also a lot easier when you pick the right dealership to search with you. Contact our dealership today to simplify your journey to the right car. 

INFINITI NAVIGATION SYSTEM

December 07, 2020

Your INFINITI’s navigation system is perfect for getting you from point A to point B, especially if you’re not quite sure where point B is. It does require some updates occasionally, though. Like those in recent INFINITI vehicles, most navigation systems will last for about five years before they need an update. If you’ve had your INFINITI vehicle for nearly that long, you might be due for an update soon.

First of all, you’ll need to go to Navigation.com and click the INFINITI logo. When it takes you to the INFINITI page, click “Menu” at the top of the page, and select the make and model of your INFINITI vehicle. You’ll be taken to the product page for the DVD map update for your car. Click “Add to Cart” and “Check Out” to complete your purchase. Your updated DVD will be mailed directly to you. 
When you receive your DVD in the mail, insert it in the proper slot in your INFINITI vehicle’s dashboard and start the car. Your updated maps should install. 
When to Call for Help
As you can see, the process of updating your INFINITI vehicle’s navigation system isn’t that difficult. All it takes is to order a DVD and have it shipped to your home. If you’re still having problems updating your navigation system or thinking other issues need to be fixed, don’t hesitate to contact INFINITI of Scottsdale. We will be happy to look over your system and guide you through the update process.

INFINITI revealed the QX60 Monograph, a near-production concept dramatically different from the current QX60 SUV. This is a design study informing how INFINITI will redesign its three-seat crossover SUV. In several ways, the QX60 Monograph is a marked departure from earlier versions of the QX60, which is one of INFINITI’s most iconic and popular luxury SUVs. A redesigned front end gives the Monograph a commanding look, with a new larger grille trimmed in chrome and larger vents. The LED headlights are reshaped this year with a slimmer design, which helps give the front end a more aggressive look. Overall, the Monograph showcases a smooth, futuristic exterior that’s daring and elegant.

The QX60 Monograph is expected to be on the market in 2021. There are no other details about the QX60 Monograph as INFINITI has not revealed what the interior will look like or which trims, engines, safety, and technology features will be available.

INFINITI KEY

August 03, 2020

The INFINITI key fob functions on the CR2025 battery; however, a key fob that functions for the INFINITI Intelligent Key will need a CR2032 battery. Most car key fob batteries are not rechargeable, and the driver needs to replace it once it runs out of charge. As a driver, you will need to learn how to detect that your key fob is becoming weaker, and when it is on the verge of losing its transmitter range. Some cars will give you a warning message depicting that the key fob battery is running low. You need to follow some steps that allow you to replace the INFINITI key fob battery successfully.

How to Start the INFINITI Car Using a Dead Key Fob Battery

Sometimes, you will need to start our INFINITI vehicle, but the key fob battery is dead. You do not need to panic because all you have to do is insert the key fob in the vehicle slot that allows you to start the vehicle manually.

How to Replace an INFINITI Key Fob Battery

The process of replacing the battery on an INFINITI key fob is quite easy and fast. The first step involves flipping the key fob on its back and then sliding the black lock on the key to removing the physical metal key. When you release the tab and remove the physical metal key, you will need to open the panel underneath the fob. Once you do this, you will find the pallet that houses the key fob battery. To remove the dead battery, you will need to use a flathead screwdriver tied using a small tape on its tip. Tying the screwdriver will ensure you do not scratch or damage the fob when removing the batter.

You will then need to carefully remove the dead battery and replace it with a new battery. The driver should ensure that the battery aligns so that you do not start over the process once you finish. The positive terminal on the battery should lie face down on the fob. To complete the process, you will need to attach the small panel that you had removed earlier on when replacing the battery. The next process is to re-insert the metal key and the release tab, and then you are ready to start your INFINITI car.

However, if you have problems with your INFINITI key fob battery, you can troubleshoot for the problem, because it might be a problem with low power. You can hold the key against the start button and then press the key. You can always count on our team at the vehicle dealership store to help fix your INFINITI key fob.
