Technology and Comfort Upgrades
The Business Edition builds on the standard M35h with several equipment additions tailored for business users. The headline extra is Infiniti’s Conectiviti+ navigation system, offering advanced route guidance and connectivity. Adaptive bi-xenon headlights, a rear view camera, and parking sensors are also included, along with a tyre pressure monitoring system to boost safety and convenience.
Inside, buyers can specify a bespoke leather interior, ventilated and heated front seats, and a satellite navigation system with voice recognition. Connectivity options include USB and Bluetooth, while a 10-speaker Bose audio system with AudiPilot2 technology aims to reduce unwanted cabin noise. These features are intended to make long-distance journeys more comfortable for business travellers.

Hybrid Powertrain Unchanged
The M35h Business Edition retains the hybrid powertrain from the standard model. A 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine works with an electric motor to deliver a combined 364hp. This setup provides the performance expected of a premium saloon while offering improved efficiency compared to a conventional V6. No changes have been made to the engine or electric system for the Business Edition.
Infiniti’s M35h hybrid was among the first in its class to offer a V6 petrol-electric drivetrain in a luxury saloon. The hybrid system is designed to deliver strong acceleration and smooth power delivery, appealing to drivers who want a balance between performance and lower emissions. The M35h’s hybrid technology also contributes to reduced fuel consumption, making it an attractive option for company car drivers concerned about running costs and environmental impact.
Position in the Infiniti Range
The M35h Business Edition sits at the top of Infiniti’s M35h line-up, targeting company car drivers and business owners who want a high-specification hybrid with luxury appointments. While the core mechanicals are unchanged, the extra equipment brings the model in line with rivals offering advanced technology and comfort features as standard or optional.
Infiniti’s move follows a broader trend among premium manufacturers to offer special editions with enhanced tech and comfort aimed at business buyers. The Business Edition’s pricing positions it as a competitor to high-spec hybrid saloons from established German brands, such as BMW and Mercedes-Benz, which also offer executive-focused models with advanced features and hybrid drivetrains.
Market Context and Competition
The introduction of the M35h Business Edition reflects the increasing demand for premium hybrid saloons in the executive segment. Business customers are looking for vehicles that combine environmental responsibility with luxury and technology. The M35h Business Edition is Infiniti’s answer to this demand, offering a well-equipped hybrid alternative to established luxury models.
With its combination of a powerful hybrid drivetrain, advanced navigation and connectivity, and a focus on comfort, the M35h Business Edition is expected to appeal to fleet buyers and executives who value both efficiency and high levels of specification. The model’s limited-edition status may also enhance its appeal to those seeking exclusivity in their company car.
