When considering the safety of a luxury sedan like the Infiniti M56, understanding its crash test performance is crucial. This analysis delves into the side impact crash test ratings for the 2013 Infiniti M56 model, providing insights for potential buyers and current owners concerned about vehicle safety.
The Infiniti M sedan, a precursor to the current Q70, underwent a redesign in 2011, leading to the introduction of the M56 model with a larger engine. Significant safety enhancements were incorporated in the 2013 models, particularly in the seat-mounted side torso airbags, aimed at bolstering occupant protection during side impact collisions.
Nissan conducted two side impact tests on the Infiniti M series, one on a 2011 M37x and another on a 2013 M56x. While these models are rated separately, certain aspects such as structural integrity, rear dummy injury measures, and head protection ratings are based on both tests due to the consistency in the rear occupant compartment design.
