What’s New for 2023: Infiniti

What’s New for 2023: Infiniti

Nissan’s luxury brand finds itself in the midst of a mid-life question: What is Infiniti going to be moving forward? Right now, it offers no electric cars, no plug-in hybrid, no hybrid, no electrification of any kind, at least until 2025. Its sedan lineup will be pared down again, with the Q60 coupe being discontinued at the end of the year. What will remain is one sedan and four crossover SUVs. 

Aside from price increases across the board, as is the industry way for 2023, Infiniti cushions the increases with better service. All 2023 Infiniti models come with Infiniti Premium Care, which provides three years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, but your mileage may vary. The Infiniti warranty includes a 4-year/60,000-mile basic warranty, and a 6-year/70,000-mile powertrain warranty, but the scheduled maintenance mileage varies by engine type. For the complex variable compression turbo-4 engine in the QX50 and QX55, complimentary service is good for three years or 22,500 miles; for V-6 engines in the Q50 and QX60, it’s capped at 30,000 miles; and for the V-8 QX80 it’s three years or 45,000 miles.

As for the five vehicles produced by Infiniti, they mostly remain the same for 2023. Here’s a look at the changes, and the prices.
