As temperatures drop and holiday travel picks up, now is the perfect time to make sure your INFINITI is ready for winter driving. From icy mornings to long road trips, a few simple checks, combined with the advanced technology built into every INFINITI, can help deliver the confidence, comfort, and safety you expect all season long. INFINITI vehicles are engineered and tested in extreme winter conditions across the U.S. and Canada, including sub-zero temperatures, snow-covered roads, and low-traction surfaces. Features like Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, Snow Mode, advanced climate control systems, and driver-assist technologies are designed to perform when winter challenges arise. Start with Your Tires Cold weather can cause tire pressure to drop, reducing traction and handling. Checking tire pressure regularly is essential, and many INFINITI models make it easy with the Tire Fill Assistant and Easy-Fill Tire Alert system—no gauge required. Inspect tread depth and plan for replacements if wear is visible. Drivers who frequently encounter snow or ice may also benefit from winter tires or approved tire chains. Maintain Clear Winter Visibility Visibility is critical during winter driving. Replace worn wiper blades and use winter-grade washer fluid that won’t freeze. Many INFINITI models include smart fluid-level sensors to alert you when washer fluid runs low. For easy blade replacement, INFINITI’s convenient wiper service position helps make maintenance quick and hassle-free. Before driving, always clear snow and ice from headlights, mirrors, windows, and cameras. Heated mirrors, LED headlamps, and available driver-assist features help enhance visibility and confidence when road conditions change quickly. Check Your Battery Before the Cold Sets In Cold temperatures place extra strain on your vehicle’s battery, especially as it ages. Inspect terminals for corrosion and make sure your battery is charging properly—particularly if you take short trips or your vehicle sits for extended periods. INFINITI vehicles are rigorously tested for reliable cold starts, even in extreme winter conditions. Protect Your Interior Winter brings moisture, mud, and road salt inside your vehicle. All-season rubber floor mats help protect your interior and make cleanup easier. Keeping your cabin clean also helps preserve the luxury materials INFINITI is known for. Be Prepared for the Unexpected A winter emergency kit is a smart addition to any vehicle. Items like jumper cables, a flashlight, blanket, ice scraper, phone charger, water, and snacks can provide peace of mind during winter travel. Enjoy Winter Comfort the INFINITI Way From heated seats and steering wheels to dual-zone climate control and advanced noise insulation, INFINITI vehicles are designed to keep you comfortable no matter the forecast. Features like Remote Engine Start, ProPILOT Assist, and hands-free liftgate access make winter routines and holiday travel easier than ever. If you’d like help preparing your INFINITI for the season ahead, the expert service team at INFINITI of South Atlanta is here to assist. Schedule your winter service visit today and enjoy every mile with confidence.

INFINITI is redefining what a flagship luxury SUV can be with the debut of the QX80 R-Spec: a bold, track-inspired build that transforms the all-new QX80 into a 1,000-horsepower performance machine. Having made its public debut at the 2025 SEMA Show, the R-Spec pushes far beyond the already impressive QX80 Track Spec concept revealed earlier this year. At the heart of the R-Spec is a heavily modified version of the Nissan GT-R’s legendary 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6, enhanced with custom turbochargers, intercoolers, exhaust manifolds, and an upgraded fuel system to unleash four-figure horsepower. The choice of GT-R power pays tribute to the QX80’s own twin-turbo V6, which shares engineering DNA with the iconic supercar. To harness that power, the R-Spec features GT-R carbon-ceramic brakes, a custom coilover suspension, and massive 24-inch bronze wheels inspired by GT-R design. Wrapped in 315-width tires, the SUV delivers exceptional grip to match its extreme performance goals. Visually, the QX80 R-Spec turns heads with a widened, lowered stance and GT-R T-Spec Takumi Edition–inspired bodywork. A color-shifting wrap, paying homage to the Midnight Purple shades beloved by GT-R fans, sets the tone, complemented by unique diffusers, fog lights, badges, and exhaust finishers. “QX80 R-Spec is a showcase of what happens when our teams take off all the guardrails,” said Tiago Castro, Vice President, INFINITI Americas. “It represents a future where powerful, adrenaline-pumping variants stand alongside the luxury and refinement our clients expect.” Wild, aggressive, and unmistakably INFINITI, the QX80 R-Spec signals a thrilling new chapter for high-performance luxury SUVs.

When it’s time to upgrade your ride, you may be surprised to learn just how many advantages come with choosing a pre-owned vehicle. At INFINITI of South Atlanta, we take pride in offering luxury vehicles that deliver sophistication, performance, and value — all without the premium price tag of buying new. Whether you’re from Atlanta, McDonough, or Newnan, you’ll find an exceptional selection of used luxury cars and SUVs close to home. One of the biggest benefits of buying pre-owned is value retention. Luxury vehicles like INFINITI are known for holding their worth, but much of a car’s depreciation occurs in its first year. That means when you purchase a used model, its price more closely reflects its true long-term value. This helps you build equity faster and reduces the risk of owing more than the vehicle is worth. Another advantage? More features for less. When you buy new, premium packages and upgrades add up quickly. But with a pre-owned INFINITI for example, those same enhancements, from premium audio systems to advanced driver-assist features, are already included in the price. What you see on the sticker is what you get, often at a fraction of the original cost. Buying pre-owned also gives you the flexibility to move up in trim or model. With the same budget, you might be able to drive home in a higher-end configuration or even a larger, more luxurious model than you’d get if buying brand-new. It’s the perfect way to enjoy added comfort, technology, and performance while staying within your ideal price range. And finally, knowledge is power when shopping used. With pre-owned vehicles, there’s more real-world information available, expert reviews, owner feedback, safety ratings, and performance reports, giving you extra peace of mind as you make your decision. At INFINITI of South Atlanta, we make the buying process simple. You can start browsing our pre-owned and Certified Pre-Owned inventory online, complete a quick financing application, and schedule a test drive to experience your favorite model firsthand. Our dedicated team is here to guide you every step of the way — ensuring you find the perfect luxury vehicle that fits your lifestyle and budget.

INFINITI is opening a bold new chapter with the QX65 Monograph, a provocative sportback SUV concept revealed at The Quail during Monterey Car Week. Expanding the brand’s Artistry in Motion design language into the two-row midsize segment, the QX65 Monograph blends daring proportions, elevated detailing, and a fastback roofline to signal the future direction of INFINITI design.

At the front, the grille evokes Japan’s bamboo forests — a signature INFINITI motif — but with a wilder texture befitting the sportback form. Extended digital piano key lighting spans nearly the full width of the nose, amplifying the vehicle’s wide stance and delivering a dramatic light show. In the rear, aeronautical-inspired taillights project outward like aircraft tailfins, adding depth and motion to the design. Elevated detailing abounds, from the thin bronze spear accenting the roofline to the intricate 22-inch wheels whose multi-layered spokes twist like ribbons of speed. Together, these crafted touches create intrigue and reinforce the concept’s theme of movement. “QX65 Monograph is more than a concept, it’s a signal that INFINITI is moving decisively into its next era,” said Tiago Castro, vice president, INFINITI Americas. “It builds on our rich legacy of innovation, pushes our design language forward and reinforces that we’re not slowing down.” Balancing bold form with meticulous craftsmanship, the QX65 Monograph offers a glimpse of a sensational new future for INFINITI’s lineup.
