It has taken 20 years, but Infiniti is throwing its dice down on the diesel table. Well, in Europe at least. The V9X engine, developed with Renault, is a 3.0-liter narrow-angle V6 with 234-horsepower and 405 foot-pounds. It will first be placed in the EX30d and FX30d models, then later will come the M, making its first appearance in Europe at all with the M30d and a petrol-powered model.

After a year of European sales the brand has its eye on growth, and it knows a good oil-burner is a good way to goose the numbers. The crossover models will go on sale this summer, the M following at some point. Prices haven't been announced yet, but you can find out all about the new engine in the press release after the jump.

wish they would bring diesel to the us

wow I would love this, too bad canada is screwed too.

There's a much larger, established market for diesel in Europe.
Americans want their hybrids

I want my Diesel TITAN or throw the Patrol here while you are at it. NISSAN! Do you hear us!!

^^^^ what he said, for the time being i'm driving a gm duramax

I like it. Hopefully the pic is close to what actually gets released and hopefully we get a little taste of it in the near future.

A diesel powered FX or Murano, that would be awesome. Pimping a Cross utility with the torque to tow your car around if need be.

damn looks good

dam very very nice

I want that.
