INFINITI’s VC-Turbo S.U.V.: A Revolution in Efficiency This year, INFINITI paves the way for innovation in the car industry with a new, production-ready engine with a variable compression ratio in its combustion chambers even while the vehicle is in motion. more This is important because the relationship between the largest and smallest volume in a cylinder- ie compressions- during the piston stroke determines both the fuel efficiency and power of internal-combustion engines. Lower compression ratios are desirable for efficiency and more Eco-friendly operation. Higher ratios are what you want when performance is what you crave. Why is Variable Compression Ratio Important? Experts are calling INFINITI’s accomplishment in the VC-Turbo a significant advance in the way automobile engines are made, and function. The ability of an engine to render variable compression ratios has long been looked on as a kind of holy grail for engineers for at least the last 50 years in the automobile industry. The “VC” in its name stands for “variable compression.” In today’s standard fixed-compression engines the ratios most commonly achieved fall into the range of 8:1 to 14:1. While these ordinary power plants may reach ratios as low as 6:1 in economy vehicles, and as high as 17:1 in power hungry muscle cars, no other type of internal combustion engine has the range that the VC-Turbo has- making it a serious achievement. Up until now, automobile designers have always had to decide what type of performance they wanted to achieve. They then designed the vehicle around the constraints of that ratio. That’s why some vehicles are merely about-town putters, and some are strictly performance cars. What Makes Our Variable Compression Engine So Efficient? VC-Turbo technology is designed with multi-link, articulating parts that facilitate operation at different compression ratios, depending on driver demand. In the INFINITI engine, ratios from 8:1 to 14:1 are all accessible, giving its engine management system the ability to hit optimal range at all times. Besides its performance range, the VC-Turbo also fits into smaller engine sizes- as small as two liters, but it turns out power equal to INFINITI’s much-larger 3.5-liter V6. Being smaller means it also saves weight. The 2.0 turbo is 55 pounds lighter than the INFINITI V6. That is the kind of improvements that have always been the stuff of auto engineer’s dreams, as advances in a vehicle’s weight are measured in right down to the ounce. According to INFINITI, the little 2.0-liter turbo produces 288 foot-pounds of torque and 268hp and is 27% more fuel efficient than a V-6 of similar output. That is the equivalent of an engine that gets 40 mpg being upgraded to 62 mpg. That kind of efficiency is equal to a comparable four-cylinder diesel engine, with extremely low emissions, according to the manufacturer- which is surprising, to say the least- particularly when compared to soot-belching diesels. If you think all this is impressive, consider that this technology is completely scalable, meaning it could be incorporated into other engine design types. Available Soon at Sawgrass INFINITI INFINITI hasn’t released the pricing for the QX Sport with VC-Turbo, but the S.U.V. the company sells now, wherein the 3.5-liter V6 comes standard has a base price of $42,600.

Throughout INFINITI’s history, the automaker has been at the forefront of automobile innovation. That tradition continues later this month. INFINITI will officially unveil the world’s first production-ready variable compression ratio engine on September 29th at the Paris Motor Show. more This new engine is a game-changer for small turbo motors and it’s a step forward in boosting efficiency for internal-combustion engines. Since the engine’s output is automatically adjusted based on driving situation, efficiency is boosted, without having to sacrifice performance. A few quick benefits of the INFINITI Variable Compression Ratio engine include: Greatly reduced fuel consumption Reduced emissions A reduction in noise and vibration Lighter, reduced curbside weight The team at Sawgrass INFINITI is excited about this release. Not only does the INFINITI VC-T engine boost efficiency by up to 27 percent (according to INFINITI’s estimates), but it ensures you still receive that same great performance. VC-T engines were first be introduced in the 2019 production of the mid-sized QX50 SUV. How Does the INFINITI Variable Compression Ratio Engine Work? Although the technology behind the INFINITI VC-T (also known as Variable Compression Turbo) engine is very complex, there are a few keys that can help you understand how it works. Essentially, the engine is able to adjust piston height higher or lower, which enables the volume of the combustion chamber to adjust based on the driving dynamics. Unlike fixed compression ratio engines, the engine has an adjustable compression ratio, ranging between 8:1 for high performance and 14:1 for optimized efficiency. In fact, INFINITI says the 2.0L VC-T engine will deliver performance comparable to a naturally aspirated V6. Simply put, the engine can optimize outputs on the fly to maximize driver benefit. On the highway, or when accelerating, you might need more power from the turbo engine, while in city driving, reduced displacement can cut down on wasted fuel. The result is a vehicle that delivers significantly improved fuel economy and high-output turbo performance. Right now, INFINITI is utilizing the technology for their 2.0L turbo engines, and the automaker has said this technology can be used for other small four-cylinder engines. Yet, it’s not yet ready for larger V6 and V8 engines. When Will The VC-T Engines Become Available in Florida? The good news: You don’t have to wait long to test drive or purchase an INFINITI equipped with VC-T. It will be in the 2019 QX50. Yet, the VC-T is sure to a star in the line-up. Delivering better numbers than a 3.5L V6, the QX50’s 2.0L turbocharged in-line 4 will put out 265 horsepower and 248 pound-feet of torque. That’s very impressive for a four-cylinder engine, and the Sawgrass INFINITI team is super excited with the news. INFINITI hasn’t yet said what the plans are beyond the QX50, but there’s a good chance INFINITI vehicles with four-cylinder engines will have this option moving forward.

The Infiniti QX60 – Infiniti’s best-selling crossover SUV – has a reputation for its versatility and safety. That tradition continues with the release of the 2017 QX60. Recently, the crossover was named a 5-Star Safety Rated vehicle in the NHTSA’s New Car Assessment Program, the fourth consecutive year the QX60 has won the prestigious award. more Here’s even more good news: The 2017 QX60 is coming to Sawgrass Infiniti this fall. We’re proud of Infiniti’s commitment to safety and to developing safety innovations, and the QX60 is a perfect example of that commitment. With its suite of advanced safety tech, the 2017 QX60 offers enhanced safety and driving assistance. Innovative Safety Technology in the 2017 QX60 Over the last four years, Infiniti has introduced a number of sonar- and camera-enabled systems into the entire line-up. The result is safer vehicles that help the driver see obscured obstructions around the vehicle. In addition to the 2017 QX60’s standard safety features, including a multipoint advanced airbag system and Vehicle Dynamic System and Traction Control, a number of additional features are available, including: Predictive Forward Collision Warning: The QX60’s Predictive Collision system continuously monitors the area around the vehicle, alerting drivers of obstructions out of view. The system also calculates the velocity and distance of traffic ahead and behind the vehicle. Forward Emergency Braking: If a collision is unavoidable, forward emergency braking automatically applies the brakes to reduce impact speed or avoid impact altogether. The system also alerts drivers when a risk has been detected. Moving Object Detection: This system detects pedestrian motion when the vehicle is in park or moving slowly. Several cameras from the AroundView Monitoring system are utilized, as well as single camera mounted in the front of the vehicle. AroundView Monitoring: Like a more comprehensive version of a back-up camera, the AroundView Monitor provides a birds-eye view of the vehicle, enabling driver’s to see a full 360 degrees around the vehicle on the QX60’s infotainment display. Blind Spot Warning: When a vehicle is in the QX60’s blind spot, a light is illuminated in the instruments. If the turn signal is engaged, the light starts to flash and audible warnings are sounded. Blind Spot Intervention: Infiniti was the first automaker to introduce a blind spot intervention system in vehicles. Along with the Blind Spot Warning system, this feature alerts drivers, but if a vehicle is detected in the blind spot, it will autonomously move the car back to the center of its current lane if drift is detected. Lane Departure Warning and Prevention: Both of these feature alert drivers of and prevent unintentional lane drift. The Warning system provides light and audible warnings when drift is detected. The prevention system also automatically slowly applies the brakes to help you move back into the lane. Intelligent Cruise Control: Intelligent cruise control is a truly 21st century CC system. The system monitors traffic around the QX60 and automatically adjusts outputs to maintenance safe distance. If traffic ahead slows, the system detects this and slows as well. 2017 QX60 Coming Soon to Sawgrass Infiniti The 5-star rated QX60 will arrive at our Tamarac location this fall, and there are plenty of reasons beyond its excellent safety features to consider the QX60. With luxury finishing, polished style, sporty performance, and tons of entertainment options, the QX60 is the ultimate luxury crossover SUV.

Are you in the market for a new crossover SUV? There is no shortage of options available to you, and many makes and models offer appealing features and bold styles. However, only one model won the award from the Greater Atlanta Automotive Media Association (GAAMA) for being the best SUV/crossover. This star car was the Infiniti QX30. To understand what an honor this is, you must learn about the prestige that belongs to the GAAMA. While the word "Atlanta" might make you think that the GAAMA only matters in the South, that isn't true. In fact, an Australian website even mentioned the honor the QX30 received at the recent Atlanta International Auto Show. There were more than 400 cars at the show, each of them under the careful scrutiny of automotive experts. The QX30 proved to be the true champion of its class. more What makes the QX30 so special? An Opulent Interior From the moment you open the door of the QX30, you'll be struck by its elegant interior design. Gorgeous asymmetric lines mesmerize the eye, and top-notch materials invite you to climb in and relax. The seats are supple Napa leather, and the dash also boasts this same luxurious material. Other surfaces feature a material called Dinamica, which mimics the look and feel of suede. Infiniti tested this material with hundreds of people to make sure it is pleasing to the touch. Four different interior color schemes are available, ranging from daring black to welcoming white. Ergonomically designed seats enhance the driving experience. A Dashing Exterior Infiniti is known for its sporty exterior designs, and the QX30 is no exception. It is big enough for your whole family and your cargo, but it still manages to call sports cars and racing to mind. The aerodynamic design, complete with exclusive 19-inch sport wheels, will leave everyone in your neighborhood jealous even before you start telling them about this crossover's other impressive features. A Sporty Performance Of course, looks alone aren't enough for a vehicle to earn an award from the GAAMA. The QX30 has a 2.0-liter turbo engine that comes with more than 200 horsepower. That, combined with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and a drive mode selector, will make the QX30's drivers feel like they truly rule the road. Other performance-pumping features include sport suspension, nimble handling, and intelligent power steering that is more sensitive at lower speeds and less sensitive at higher speeds. Another notable aspect of the QX30's performance is its available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive. The AWD delivers half of the power to the rear wheels only when driving conditions require it. Otherwise, the control remains in the front wheels. This increases the vehicle's fuel efficiency while still delivering the control you need on slippery surfaces. Sophisticated Technology As you would expect from Infiniti, the QX30 comes loaded with a bushel of tech features, foremost of which is the Infiniti InTouch system, which allows you to look at emails, text messages, and your calendar — all from the vehicle's touchscreen. You can also use voice controls or the Infiniti Controller. InTouch also comes with navigation so you'll never get lost when you head out for your annual family vacation. A Bose audio system will keep you entertained even on those days when you head to Miami and have to deal with traffic that never seems to end. The QX30's technology makes the driving experience safer and smarter. Twelve sensors around the car can let you know if that parking space you're eyeing is big enough for your four-wheeled baby. The QX30 can even parallel park itself. Do you have trouble remembering to turn your high-beams off when there is oncoming traffic? The QX30 will take care of that for you. The above features are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the QX30's unbeatable technology offerings. Spoiled for Choice There are three different QX30s from which you can choose: QX30. No one would ever call an Infiniti "basic," but the regular QX30 is as basic as this luxury vehicle comes. QX30 S. The S version has a lower stance and a more aggressive fascia on both the front and back. It looks even sportier than the standard QX30. QX30 AWD. This version has Intelligent All-Wheel Drive. It sits a little higher than its counterparts and is better equipped for rural roads. The QX30 will hit dealerships later this year. When you test drive it at Sawgrass Infiniti, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it.

The New York Auto Show is an annual event that catches the attention of car lovers around the world. The show always debuts the hottest new models and introduces jaw-dropping concept cars that leave the masses eagerly looking forward to the future of automobiles. The 2016 show, which occurred in March, was no exception to the rule. Among the many highlights of this year's show was the debut of the 2017 Infiniti QX70 Limited. This sleek crossover has long been a prized possession of Infiniti fans, and the 2017 edition adds even more prestige to the model's undeniable appeal. more Little Touches Make a Big Difference When you compare the 2016 and the 2017 models side by side, you won't be taken aback by any startling stylist changes. The differences are subtle, but you'll appreciate them for how they take the car's elegance and appeal to new heights. Exterior Changes The 2017 edition boasts efficient LED daytime running lights, which are an upgrade over the fog lights that adorned previous models. Even if you live in a climate that gets a lot of glum weather, these daytime running lights will help keep you safe when you're cruising the town in one of the most impressive vehicles around. Another exterior difference is the dark accents. These bold touches will contrast nicely against whatever paint color you choose. Sometimes, wheels can be the difference between an ordinary car and an amazing one. The unique 21-inch wheels on the QX70 Limited are eye-catching enough to satisfy event the pickiest pair of eyes. Interior Changes The QX70's opulence easily transitions from the exterior to the interior. Imagine yourself settling into deep quilted seats that feature beautiful contrasting trim. Open pore wood trim takes the stylistic allure up another notch. The interior's subtle improvements even extend to an area of the car that you normally wouldn't pay much attention to: the pedals. The 2017 model's pedals have aluminum trim. Just don't admire them too much while you're driving. Don't Fix What Isn't Broken If you own an Infiniti, or even if you've test-driven Infiniti models before, you know that this line of vehicles offers awesome performance and a fun experience behind the wheel. The 2017 QX70 Limited has the same powertrain as previous models, which means it will retain the same sporty driving performance that will make you forget you're driving a crossover in the city and make you think you're on the race track instead. The 3.7-liter V6 engine delivers 325 horsepower and is sure to get you through anything you put it throught from light tows to merging on and off of the expressway. While not a lot of details about the 2017 have been released, it is reasonable to expect that it will have other things in common with previous editions. One of the favorite features of the 2016 model is its easy-to-use technology interface that makes it easy to manage your media. Also expect to see top-notch safety features like cameras, lane departure warnings, and a forward collision mitigation system. Of course, not all QX70 packages will offer the same set of features, so you'll have to talk to your dealer to find a car that fits your personality and your family's needs. Get Your Hands on the QX70 Limited The 2017 QX70 Limited won't make its way into Infiniti dealerships until this summer, so you have a few months to wait before you can get behind the wheel of this beautiful machine.

The Infiniti QX30 towers above the competition. As a premium, active crossover, the QX30 is uncompromising with superior refinement inside and out, progressive styling, and the latest technologies you simply won't find anywhere else -- but how does it stack up? We've pitted the QX30 against other leading vehicles to prove to you why Infiniti offers the best. more Infiniti QX30 vs. Lexus NX 200t Both the QX30 and NX 200t are the first of their kind, combining innovative technology, powerful engines, and progressive design in one pleasing urban package. While the Lexus NX 200t boasts a radical exterior, its interior is quite subdued. By contrast, the Infiniti QX30 boasts a bold look inside and out, offering head-turning features such as sport exclusive wheels, muscular proportions, and an overall design that refuses to conform. Both models offer similar engines resulting in 285 lb.-ft. of torque, but the QX30 gets the advantage thanks to intuitive traction, a fuel-efficient drive mode selector, a dual clutch transmission, and a continuous rush that can unleash torque at a much broader rev range. While the price of the QX30 hasn't been set yet, there's been talk on the Australian market of having a sub-$30,000 price tag, which translates to even less in the U.S. market. The 2015 Lexus NX 200t came with a starting price of $40,450. This means that if you wait for the new QX30, you can pay less and get more. Infiniti QX30 vs. BMW X1 Another model the QX30 will undoubtedly be pitted against is the BMW X1. The X1 is the quintessential Sports Activity Vehicle in that it offers best-in-class performance, ample headroom, and an impressive amount of cargo space for its size. With that being said, the QX30 has yet to debut, but it could end up stealing all of BMW's recognitions. The BMW X1 might offer more cargo room, but with a price tag of $34,800, you'll be paying for it. The Infiniti QX30 offers state-of-the-art seat ergonomics that give your spine maximum support and reduce muscle pressure, minimizing driver fatigue. You can also refine your QX30 to reflect your personal tastes. Choose from interior finishes in gallery white leather, café teak, black leather, and natural beige, all with premium stitching and finishes. The X1 lacks this kind of personal touch and comfort. Infiniti QX30 vs. Mercedes-Benz GLA The Mercedes-Benz GLA is a mix of hatchback and small crossover that failed to deliver. The 2015 GLA was among the most disappointing luxury vehicles, garnering a below-average rating from most reviewers. These reviewers called out the GLA's deafening wind and road noise, overly firm ride quality, slow transmission response times, and limited cargo capacity, which made the GLA-Class compact crossover review a disappointing dud. By contrast, anticipation for the 2017 Infiniti QX30 has been high. Reviews have consistently touted the QX30 as being a cut above the rest, and being a similar blend of hatchback and small crossover like the GLA, that's saying something. In terms of style, however, the QX30 is radically different from the GLA -- in a good way. A faux skid plate sits below the grille, while the vehicle's front is at once sultry and aggressive, making a clear statement. When the model debuted at the 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show, the media went into a frenzy over Infiniti's new crossover darling, which is a sure sign of things to come. QX30 Specs The best way to compare these models for yourself is with a few test drives once the QX30 comes out. For now, at least, you can view the specs on paper and make an informed decision. The QX30 boasts a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that pumps out 208 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque. While it might offer less horsepower than some of its rivals, the QX30 uses that power more efficiently thanks to a seven-speed, dual-clutch transmission that pre-selects gears before shifting. This is an innovative technology you won't find anywhere else, and it's something that must be experienced to be fully appreciated. The QX30 also gives you plenty of convenience features, including two USB ports, Bluetooth streaming audio, and hands-free calling. Infiniti InTouch allows you to navigate unfamiliar streets, connect to your smartphone, and listen to playlists, all at the touch of a button. The Intouch system event adjusts to your preferences, giving you a more pleasant driving experience. Don't just take our word for it. Compare the QX30 against today's top-rated luxury crossovers, and see for yourself why Infiniti's latest model stands out

It’s no secret that Infiniti’s QX50 sales have been lagging in recent years while the luxury crossover market in general has been booming. The QX50 manufacturer took note and redesigned the QX50 in order to make it more competitive. In essence, Infiniti intends this vehicle to be roomier, more fun to drive and, of course, safer than its predecessors and competition. more It's Bigger on the Outside and Inside The QX50 now has a coupe-like design for the exterior styling. The 2016 model incorporates a new front bumper and lower fascia, L-shaped headlamps with LED daytime running lights, a restyled grille, new side mirrors with integrated LED turn signals, updated side sills, and a new rear bumper and lower fascia. In addition, there’s a standard power sliding tinted glass moon roof with tilt feature, sliding sunshade and available roof rails. The wheelbase has been extended by 3.2 inches, bringing it to 113.4 inches total, with overall length increased by 4.5 inches to 186.8 inches total. The larger exterior translates into more legroom for the passengers. The new QX50 now has an 8.3 cubic-foot increase in interior space (115.4 cubic feet total). Most of that extra space is in the second-row seating, with legroom increasing by 4.3 inches and knee room increased by 3.9 inches, for a total of 35.3 inches and 25.5 inches respectively. That’s plenty of room for you and your buddies. The 2016 Infiniti QX60 Looks Good Inside Seating for the driver is eight-way adjustable with a memory system, while the front passenger gets four-way adjustability. To top it off, both front seats are heated as a standard feature. A power remote up-folding feature with controls in both the front and hatch area make for a quick 60/40 split of the second row. In the cabin, you’ll find the typical Infiniti instrument panel design, with high-contrast gauges, pin LED lighting mounted above the center console and the requisite analog clock. The instrument panel also features a 7-inch color display with an integrated trip computer and vehicle navigation. Rounding out the interior look are aluminum interior accents, with maple accents as an option. Premium leather-appointed seating surfaces come standard in one of three colors: Graphite, Wheat and Chestnut. Having Fun on the Go What good is a 7 inch touch screen with 3D graphics if you don’t have a few apps to play with? As with many vehicles, the 2016 QX50 comes with integrated trip computer and vehicle navigation. However, you may be surprised to find how many apps this car comes with. Email and calendar NavTraffic with real-time traffic info NavWeather with real time weather updates and three-day forecasting Facebook Of course you want everything to sound great, so the QX50 is packed with 6 speakers for the built-in AM/FM and satellite radio, MP3 player or other audio device you prefer. What makes the 2016 QX50 different from most other vehicles is the Infiniti InTouch apps become disabled during driving. This is to promote safer driving habits, particularly for drivers with limited experience. Power Under the Hood The powertrain remains largely unchanged from the previous model. The compact crossover comes standard with a 3.7-liter V-6 engine that delivers 325 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission. With this engine, you’ll find you’re getting 17 MPG in the city and 24 on the highway. Pick up your phone and dial 888-696-5099 or just swing by our location at 5801 Madison Ave. in Tamarac FL so you can test drive the 2016 QX50.

Here’s another reason to get excited about the upcoming release of 2016 Q50 Sports Sedan. Infiniti recently announced the introduction of a trio of powerful turbo engines that will be available in the Q50 for the first time ever. New options include: 300- or 400-horsepower 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 208-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder Hybrid gas-and-battery powered 3.5-liter V6 The engines all match performance and efficiency, achieving the best fuel economy while offering that same advanced sports sedan driving that has made the Q50 a favorite in the class. more The All-New V6 Available in the 2016 Q50 Infiniti is calling the new turbo-charged V6 its “most advanced” 6-cylinder yet, and the reason is simple. The 3.0-liter – which is available with two different tunes (300 or 400 horsepower) – expertly matches performance and torque with improved fuel economy. For starters, Infiniti says the new engine has improved fuel economy by about 7 percent, compared to previous versions. Plus, output has been maximized. The higher-output version delivers 400 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque. In other words, the sedan’s power-to-efficiency ratio has been greatly improved. How? Infiniti added an updated speed sensor for the turbine and redesigned turbine blade, which enables the turbine to revolve faster. This results in enhanced power and torque. 2.0-Liter and Hybrid Powertrains Delivery Impressive Efficiency If you’re after maximum efficiency, then the Q50’s new 2.0-liter four-cylinder or the 3.0-liter hybrid V6 are the options you should consider. The turbocharged four-cylinder delivers a respectable 208 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, and it features newly updated fuel injectors that help to maximize output. Plus, the entire engine block is new and has been completely redesigned to be lighter. Featuring a lighter aluminium block and cylinder head, as well as lighter camshafts, crankcase, and improved crank assembly, the 2.0-liter has greatly reduced friction and improved efficiency. And for even greater energy savings, the four-cylinder Q50 will be available with idle stop-start system for the first time ever. Finally, the Q50’s hybrid engine merges a 302-horsepower DOHC V6 with a small 50kW lithium-ion battery that delivers 67 horsepower. The result is a net output of 360 horsepower. In other words, this Q50 might be a hybrid, but it still delivers strong acceleration and more confident driving. One reason the drive is so easy: The battery delivers instant torque, which when combined with the V6’s output, acceleration is off the charts. It’s certainly a performance-minded hybrid. New Handling Technology and Transmissions The Q50 is getting a trio of new engines, but that’s not all. Infiniti is also releasing a range of advanced driving technology, including Direct Adaptive Steering and Dynamic Digital Suspension, as well as a 7-speed rear-wheel or all-wheel-drive transmission. Direct Adaptive Steering – which has been rebuilt from previous iterations – allows drivers to completely customize the vehicle’s steering systems. Drivers can choose response and feel levels so that the vehicle handles and drivers just like they want. Additionally, the Dynamic Digital Suspension – available for the first time – boosts the Q50’s ride comfort to the max. Finally, with the release of the new engines, Infiniti has also unveiled an all-new 7-speed electronic automatic transmission. The transmission is equipped with a range of features including Adaptive Shift Control, which selects gears based on road condition. The transmission also offers distinctive driving mode, as well as your option of rear-wheel or all-wheel-drive configurations. Interested in the all-new Infiniti Q50 sports sedan?

With March Madness already kicking into high gear, Infiniti is expecting to see a boost in business thanks to its role as a major sponsor this year. Brands like Infiniti and Buick have placed major bets on the tournament, using the publicity to showcase the latest models. more What is March Madness? March Madness is a springtime phenomenon that grips every sports fan's attention from the second week of March through the early days of April. The NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament is the highlight of all that fervor, but the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament is also included. It is during these tournaments that the national college basketball championships are crowned. Abuout the NCAA The National Collegiate Athletic Association is a nonprofit association that regulates college athletes and organizes athletic programs. Most of the NCAA's revenue comes from the Men's Division I Basketball Tournament. The NCAA, in turn, distributes that revenue back into various institutions and organizations throughout the country to support current and future athletes. Included in the NCAA are more than 1,100 colleges and universities that put academics first. NCAA athletes can pursue higher academic goals and carve out new opportunities by competing in NCAA championships. Some of them even go on to play professionally. March Madness Sponsors Sponsoring March Madness is a highly coveted position among sportswear and automotive companies, and Infiniti has managed to sponsor the event for several years now. Being a sponsor ensures prominent product placement, so there are billions of dollars at stake. For 2016, Infiniti is sponsoring the NCAA March Madness Android app, which allows you to watch every game line and choose your top picks for the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament. This app even lets you experience March Madness with your friends, making it one of the most popular app downloads dedicated to this event. In addition to sponsoring the Android app, Infiniti (along with Buick) is an NCAA Corporate Partner. Being a Corporate Partner means being dedicated to promotional activities and marketing surrounding the NCAA championships. By being a Corporate Partner, Infiniti has been able to make a direct, positive impact on developmental and academic opportunities offered to NCAA student athletes. More than merely promoting a brand, it's about giving back and supporting these talented athletes. The 2016 Infiniti Coaches' Charity Challenge One notable way Infiniti is helping give back during March Madness is through the Infiniti Coaches' Charity Challenge. Fans vote on their favorite coach remaining in the competition -- at the time of this writing, those coaches are Matt Painter of Purdue University, John Beilein of the University of Michigan, Brad Underwood of Stephen F. Austin State University, and Thad Matta of Ohio State University -- and the winning coach will receive $100,000 to put toward his chosen charity. Each of the non-winning finalists will receive $15,000 to donate to the cause of their choice. What's more, each coach will get at least $1,000 to put toward his favorite cause. In total, Infiniti is giving away more than $345,000 for charity. Without having the prestige of being one of March Madness's Corporate Partners, not to mention the fervent fans voting in the competition, this type of charity work wouldn't be possible. A Rising Viewership Thanks to Mobile Apps Since Infiniti first became the official sponsor of the March Madness Live Android app in 2012, there has been a significant rise in March Madness viewership. In 2015, the app had a record-breaking 80.7 million streams, which could be broken down into 17.8 million viewing hours. For NCAA fans that would have normally missed a game, this has been a huge technological break. In addition to live streams, Infiniti has been engaging consumers through television spots, fan activities, and social media campaigns to gear them up for the tournament. During the 2015 March Madness, Infiniti's efforts paid off, as the brand saw a surge in Infiniti-related searches and social media mentions during the championship. In fact, during the 2015 event, InfinitiUSA.com saw a 300 percent increase in visitors. Unlike a one-time event, such as the Super Bowl, being a March Madness Corporate Partner means enjoying prolonged exposure that has the added benefit of reaching out to affluent and highly educated audience members who might just be in the market for a new Infiniti model like the QX50 or Q30. Last year, Infiniti advertising reached 61.7 million people. March Madness and Infiniti have a valuable relationship. Keep an eye out for the latest Infiniti mentions during this year's exciting tournament.
