New luxury brand Infiniti is ramping up development of new models to appeal to company car drivers.

The luxury arm of Nissan has announced details of a diesel engine which will be launched this summer in the EX and FX SUV models.

The 3.0-litre V6 diesel will also be fitted to the firm's new M executive saloon in September.

The new engine delivers 238bhp and comes with a seven-speed automatic gearbox as standard.

CO2 emissions in the EX30d are 224g/km and 240g/km in the larger FX30d. The latter figure puts the FX30d into the highest 35% benefit-in-kind tax band, while the EX version will be taxed at 33% of its P11D price.

However, the figures are an improvement on the current petrol-only models, which emit at least 265g/km.

Expect much lower CO2 emissions when the M30d model goes on sale in September.
