Infiniti Unveils Upcoming Luxury Electric Vehicle

Infiniti LE Concept

Lauderdale Infiniti, a leading Infiniti dealership in Fort Lauderdale, FL, is pleased to announce that Infiniti unveiled its all new Infiniti LE Concept at the recent NY Auto Show.

The concept car is the luxury brand’s first zero emission luxury sedan and is already in the near—production state. The Infiniti LE Concept is a combination of an advanced electric vehicle drivetrain and wireless charging system with signature Infiniti luxury, style and Inspired Performance. The production version of the LE Concept is expected to arrive in dealerships in near-similar form within the next two years.

Carlos Ghosn, president and chief executive officer of Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., mentioned at a recent press conference, “Infiniti is about a unique fusion of performance and hospitality, and a distinct vision that challenges convention. Part of that vision, part of our challenger mindset, is a belief that the future of luxury is sustainable luxury.” He further added, “No other luxury brand has the corporate EV experience, the advanced battery technology, or the sustainable product credibility to claim a leadership position in zero emission luxury. No one except Infiniti.”

If you are keen to learn more about the Infiniti LE concept then here are some key features to help you get an idea what to expect from this upcoming Infiniti car.

 --Infiniti LE Concept sports luxury sedan style, combining signature Infiniti design cues with EV aerodynamic efficiency

--Exceptional acceleration and re-acceleration, providing a new level of luxury driving experience

--Leading-edge compact Lithium-ion battery technology 

--Smart hospitality, featuring a quiet, luxurious Infiniti interior and next-gen Infiniti Connection, Infiniti Personal Assistant and EV connected services

--Innovative, intuitive home-based Wireless Charging System with Intelligent Park Assist

The LE Concept looks more like a true Infiniti rather than an electric vehicle with luxury attachments. From luxury body style to bold exterior and underlying high performance, the LE Concept is a pure Infiniti from every angle. The dramatic exterior is in perfect sync with the double arch grille and crescent cut rear pillar, with EV aerodynamic efficiency to create a sleek, emotional silhouette. The large front grille features a solid finisher and a charge port hidden under the illuminated center Infiniti emblem.

Infiniti-EV meters combine modern digital display and timeless analog gauges, creating an atmosphere of both exclusivity and futuristic design. The center cluster features an innovative connected twin display powered by an Intel Atom™ processor. The elegant, bolstered seat and door trim design also comes from traditional roots, inspired by the "Eriashi" (collar) of a Japanese kimono. The seats are covered in a suede-and-mesh fabric with violet accents, and semi-aniline leather sides.

Targeting "impressive city and highway EV acceleration," the engineering team behind the LE Concept's e-powertrain sought a silent, smooth response for both accelerating from a start and re-accelerating, such as merging onto freeways or changing lanes. Torque of 240 lb-ft is instantly available immediately at all times. The Infiniti LE Concept's battery system is a proven laminated 24 kWh lithium-ion (Li-ion) design with a ChaDeMo DC50kW quick charger.

The Infiniti LE Concept's connectivity to the outside world includes the next generation of Infiniti Connection features, such as Infiniti Personal Assistant 24-hour concierge service, navigation, and POI search.

In terms of charging, the Infiniti LE Concept is equipped to utilize an integrated charging port, a DC Fast Charge option and an advanced Wireless Charging System, which is expected to be the first home-based wireless charging system if adapted for the production version.

The system's non-contact charging is via inductive energy flow, with a coil safely encased on the garage floor. The high-frequency AC-3.3 kW charging, controlled by the twin display or smartphone, is safe for children and pets and can be installed easily in a home garage.

In addition, taking inspired technology a step beyond, the Infiniti LE Concept features an Intelligent Park Assist with Around View™ Monitor to easily align the vehicle in the proper position over the wireless charging coil. The system uses e-steering, with full forward and backward capability, along with a 360-degree view of the surrounding area. It also bookmarks the parking place in GPS so that once the vehicle enters the garage, for example, the navigation system will automatically switch to Around View Monitor and the system is ready to park the car.

Stay tuned to Lauderdale Infiniti for more updates on the Infiniti LE Concept.

The “Quick & Easy” Car Wash

Did you ever notice that at the last minute, when you are rushing for a first date or an important meeting, that you realized your car looked like it had a run in with a mud puddle? Confused on how to give your car an impressive look when short on time for a complete car cleansing? Whether your car is new or used, here are six practical tips from a used car salesman that will help you give your car a “quick & easy” wash – a good first impression to your client or to your date.

Use a spray detailer to clean horizontal surfaces
If washing your car daily is out of the question, no worries. Cleaning specific parts of the car is enough to give it an washed look. Such areas include the trunk, rear bumper and hood of the car as these surfaces tend to have water marks left by light dew and rain. Take a spray detailer with a microfiber towel, and easily clean these watermarks right out. Experts recommend that you be sure to flip the towel often so as to not damage the clear coat beneath with ground in dirt. 

Clean your windshield 
A clean windshield not only improves the driver’s visibility, but also makes your car sparkle. Glass is easy to clean and dirt and grease marks are easily wiped away with a fresh towel. Once finished with the windshield, remember to also clean the driver-side window and the side mirror, as well. And if you’ve got a bit more time, wipe the inside of the windshield clean and the rearview mirror, too.

Take out the trashAlthough some cars closely resembles a garbage dump, it best to take out the trash on a regular basis and keep it clean. Dispose of unwanted paper and throw away empty bottles and cookie crumbs, etc. To help keep the level of trash under control, keep a trash bag in your car where you can collect all the debris and empty it regularly.

Shake, shake, shake your floor mats
When crunched for time, or your car vacuum decides to quit, simply take our your floor mats and give them a good shake. This helps get rid of loose dirt, leaves, crumbs and the occasional lost french fry. This will take less than five minutes and will make your car look much better.

Clean your wheels and tires
You’ve heard the old saying, “dirty wheels on a clean car are like wearing old shoes with a new dress,” so don’t forget to clean the wheels and tires, too. If you’re really short on time, simply grab a cotton cloth and wipe off the flat areas of the rims. You might even want to use a spray product to shine your wheels, as well.

Clean easily seen areas in the interiorUse a microfiber towel and clean anything that look at or touch inside the car. Quickly touch up your dashboard, center console and glove compartment box with a simple wipe down. 

At Lauderdale Infiniti we understand how important it is to keep your car up and running – inside, outside and under the hood. Visit us online for amazing service coupons that will help keep your car in tip top shape and have it looking great and running smoothly for many miles to come!
