“Infiniti Q50 with Mercedes Diesel Engine for Sale at Attractive Price in Romania”

An Infiniti Q50 recovered by a bank in Romania is being sold at an attractive price. The Japanese sedan is equipped with a diesel engine from Mercedes.

Not so long ago, all the manufacturers were trying to offer diesel engines in their cars. Either they developed them from scratch or borrowed them from other manufacturers, and the cases were not few. Since they wanted to have as large a share of sales in the European market as possible, manufacturers such as Infiniti turned to various European car brands that had more experience in the development and manufacture of diesel engines.

Exactly this principle also applies to the car we are talking about, namely the Infiniti Q50, a model equipped with a 2.2 liter diesel engine from Mercedes-Benz. It is a more attractive option in Romania, especially if we consider that these cars also had 3.5-liter V6 engines, much more heavily taxed and much less economical.
