convertibles—most of them coupes. Unfortunately, numbers like that just didn’t cut it. Jerry

Two years after Infiniti launched, the 1991 Infiniti M Convertible was launched. The fresh model offered exciting performance and handling. The sweet ride featured a robust six-cylinder engine with an EPA of 17 mpg in town and 23 mpg on the highway.
Bright acceleration and subdued exterior styling can be found on the 1992 Infiniti M30 Convertible. The auto scored high marks for its interior design, comfort, and reliability. The Infiniti convertible is an excellent value for the price.
For an entry-level sports sedan, the 2009 Infiniti G was pretty luxurious. Though the Infiniti convertible was loaded with tech features, it didn’t quite stand up to the likes of
its German-built counterparts
. However, the auto’s muscular V6 engine, sharp handling, and strong brakes make it one attractive bargain. Infiniti Convertibles: 2010-2012
Loyal customers were big fans of the 2010 Infiniti G. The Infiniti convertible sported a fresh front fascia and grill in the base and sport models. Drivers also took advantage of the Journey trim’s heated seats, heated outer mirrors, 17-inch wheels, and a backup camera.
If you’re one for creature comforts, the 2010 Infiniti G37 Convertible can be found with cooled seats, a Bose sound system, satellite radio, keyless entry, and an impressive premium tech package.
Not to mention handsfree/Bluetooth integration and a well-executed AWD option. Unfortunately,
G37 owners experienced issues
. The convertible top is slow to operate and the Sport models lack ride quality over bumpy roads. Looking sharp in Malbec Black, the 2012 Infiniti G convertible offered upgrades that helped with sales. If you were lucky, you could snag a Limited Edition or Sport Appearance model. Updates included innovative technology and connectivity to enjoy while on the road.
Infiniti Convertibles: 2013-2015
You’ve probably seen the 2013 Infiniti G37 pulled over on the side of PCH. The popular convertible featured splash guards, fog lights, and leather seats in its premium package. The two front seats are adjustable, as well as the steering wheel.
You could recharge your electronics with a 12-volt charging system while enjoying a six-speaker Bose sound system while you’re at it. The retractable top offered the ultimate freedom on sunny days, and the cooled seats were more than any passenger could ever ask for. This model year was also popular for its leather-trimmed seats, leather on the shifting knob, illuminated entry, and keyless ignition.
The 2013 Infiniti G has benefitted from multiple updates and is far superior than its earlier editions. The G25 variant was equipped with a four-cylinder engine and impressive performance on the road. Buyers have the choice between a Coupe and Convertible style.
Don’t be surprised if you see the 2014 Infiniti Q60 around town with a retractable hardtop. Not only did this Infiniti convertible come with an available keyless entry and ignition, but it also offered cooled and heated seats for the ultimate comfort experience.
The vehicle features a potent V6 engine, athletic handling, and 325 hp. A moonroof, 7-inch touchscreen, and a Bose premium audio system were options as well.
Consumers craving high-end sophistication were not disappointed with the 2015 Infiniti Q60 luxury coupe. The four-seater came in various trim levels and its hardtop made it a desired choice for an all-season vehicle.
The most popular features include remote entry and start tech, a heated and power mirror, a backup safety camera, premium leather seating, and a 7-inch touchscreen. Buyers received a 3.7-liter V6 engine with 330 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque.
Though further producing convertibles have been too expensive to justify, we hope the Japanese luxury brand will revisit this segment in the near future, or at least give us an open-top with the new Nissan Z.
