Nissan developing supercharged hybrid for Infiniti

[fxlr8]

Nissan Motor Co. is developing a supercharged hybrid powertrain likely to arrive in 2014 in the Infiniti JX crossover.

This configuration advances the system used in the rear-wheel-drive Infiniti M35h Hybrid but has been revised for use on the front- and all-wheel-drive JX. The next-generation powertrain runs a supercharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that works with a lithium-ion battery pack and continuously variable transmission.
