Infiniti’s G series will receive a Mercedes-Benz engine

Infiniti’s G series

Under the terms of the global alliance between Daimler AG and Renault-Nissan, Infiniti’s G series will be getting a Mercedes-Benz engine.

The G series, which represents Infiniti’s highest-volume line, will use a Mercedes inline four-cylinder from Daimler to improve fuel economy and curb emissions, according to Carlos Ghosn, CEO of Renault SA and Nissan Motor Co. Ghosn didn’t say when production of the engine will begin or at what extent this engine will replace Japanese-made four-cylinder and V-6 engines used in the G sedan and coupe. In some C-class cars in Europe, Mercedes uses a 1.8-liter four-liter engine.
