January 24, 2020Nissan owners who are after a more luxurious drive tend to switch to INFINITI models. Vehicles from both of these brands share some mechanical platforms. Traditionally, high-end INFINITI cars have shared many features with their affordable relatives.

A Smooth Transition From Nissan to INFINITI 

Drivers who have previously owned a Nissan vehicle will have an easy time using active safety technologies in INFINITI cars. The Nissan Intelligent Mobility essentially evolves into the INFINITI Safety Shield Concept for a reasonable increase in price. For example, the Safety Shield Concept includes the Distance Control Assist, which helps you adapt to dynamic traffic flow on the highway.  

Such a driving aide isn’t available in most Nissan models. However, Nissan Intelligent Mobility offers many features that are quite similar to those in the Safety Shield Concept. Both active safety bundles include alert systems for the driver’s blind spots. Former Nissan owners will also recognize the pedestrian-detection technologies in INFINITI’s automatic braking system. Additionally, most trims from both brands have warning systems and correction mechanisms for lane departures on the road. 

When it comes to digital connectivity, the NissanConnect platform surely has plenty of great amenities for today’s smartphone users. With an upgrade to an INFINITI model, you’ll get additional applications and services at competitive prices. The InTouch multimedia system typically retains most of the features from the NissanConnect system. However, the InTouch platform generally has a more intuitive design, especially for busy individuals who own multiple mobile gadgets. 

Some Nissan models, such as the Maxima and Armada, offer lots of luxurious amenities. If you’re looking for a cabin with additional luxury, an upgrade to an INFINITI car is a great choice. Select models boast genuine leather trimming with Alcantara, quilted inserts, and other high-end features. Some INFINITI vehicles can also be equipped with the Ultrasuede headliners for extra appeal and comfort.  

Such lavish cars are available with premium exterior accessories, such as forged aluminum wheels and running boards. Overall, both automotive brands offer lots of similar amenities, such as the Intelligent Key and a multi-zone climate control system. Most models from both companies are available with audio systems that are made by Bose. However, INFINITI vehicles tend to have more advanced sound systems. For instance, the QX80 can be equipped with 17 speakers from the Performance Series.
