The NHTSA has Given the 2013 Infiniti M Sedan its Top Rating in New Crash Tests.

BARRINGTON, Ill. - March 15, 2013 - PRLog -- There’s another reason for smart shoppers to drive an Infiniti M Sedan at Motor Werks Infiniti of Barrington (http://www.motorwerksinfiniti.com/dealership/about.htm) today: the luxury sport sedan got the best possible crash test safety rating from the NHTSA under the agency’s New Car Assessment Program. Five stars is as high as it goes for safety from the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration, which rates vehicles not only based on how much they protect occupants during crash tests, but also on the technologies present to help prevent crashes in the first place.

The 2013 Infiniti M sedan (http://www.infinitihoffman.com/2013-infiniti-m.htm) comes in two versions: the M37, with a 3.7L V6, and the M56, which comes with a 5.6L V8, and both can be had in either all wheel drive or rear wheel drive configurations. Both received the same perfect score of 5 stars overall in the NHTSA tests. The outstanding rating is due not only to the outstanding performance of the vehicles in a collision situation, but also the sophisticated technology used to prevent those situations.

A Lane Departure Warning System prevents accidents that involve the driver accidentally straying into an adjacent lane. This system uses cameras to detect the lane markers and alerts the driver if the vehicle begins to cross one without signaling.
Blind Sport Warning and Blind Spot Intervention are options on the Infiniti M sedan that use radar to detect vehicles in the driver’s blind spot. The system will alert the driver first and then more forcefully if the driver signals or attempts to change lanes in the direction of the other car.
Forward Collision Warning and Intelligent Brake Assist are part of an optional technology packaged that can sense obstacles on the road ahead and alert the driver. Without driver response the system can even apply the brakes to attempt to avoid a collision or minimize damage.
