As temperatures drop and holiday travel picks up, now is the perfect time to make sure your INFINITI is ready for winter driving. From icy mornings to long road trips, a few simple checks, combined with the advanced technology built into every INFINITI, can help deliver the confidence, comfort, and safety you expect all season long.
INFINITI vehicles are engineered and tested in extreme winter conditions across the U.S. and Canada, including sub-zero temperatures, snow-covered roads, and low-traction surfaces. Features like Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, Snow Mode, advanced climate control systems, and driver-assist technologies are designed to perform when winter challenges arise.
Start with Your Tires
Cold weather can cause tire pressure to drop, reducing traction and handling. Checking tire pressure regularly is essential, and many INFINITI models make it easy with the Tire Fill Assistant and Easy-Fill Tire Alert system—no gauge required. Inspect tread depth and plan for replacements if wear is visible. Drivers who frequently encounter snow or ice may also benefit from winter tires or approved tire chains.
Maintain Clear Winter Visibility
Visibility is critical during winter driving. Replace worn wiper blades and use winter-grade washer fluid that won’t freeze. Many INFINITI models include smart fluid-level sensors to alert you when washer fluid runs low. For easy blade replacement, INFINITI’s convenient wiper service position helps make maintenance quick and hassle-free.
Before driving, always clear snow and ice from headlights, mirrors, windows, and cameras. Heated mirrors, LED headlamps, and available driver-assist features help enhance visibility and confidence when road conditions change quickly.
Check Your Battery Before the Cold Sets In
Cold temperatures place extra strain on your vehicle’s battery, especially as it ages. Inspect terminals for corrosion and make sure your battery is charging properly—particularly if you take short trips or your vehicle sits for extended periods. INFINITI vehicles are rigorously tested for reliable cold starts, even in extreme winter conditions.
Protect Your Interior
Winter brings moisture, mud, and road salt inside your vehicle. All-season rubber floor mats help protect your interior and make cleanup easier. Keeping your cabin clean also helps preserve the luxury materials INFINITI is known for.
Be Prepared for the Unexpected
A winter emergency kit is a smart addition to any vehicle. Items like jumper cables, a flashlight, blanket, ice scraper, phone charger, water, and snacks can provide peace of mind during winter travel.
Enjoy Winter Comfort the INFINITI Way
From heated seats and steering wheels to dual-zone climate control and advanced noise insulation, INFINITI vehicles are designed to keep you comfortable no matter the forecast. Features like Remote Engine Start, ProPILOT Assist, and hands-free liftgate access make winter routines and holiday travel easier than ever.
If you’d like help preparing your INFINITI for the season ahead, the expert service team at INFINITI of South Atlanta is here to assist. Schedule your winter service visit today and enjoy every mile with confidence.
INFINITI is redefining what a flagship luxury SUV can be with the debut of the QX80 R-Spec: a bold, track-inspired build that transforms the all-new QX80 into a 1,000-horsepower performance machine. Having made its public debut at the 2025 SEMA Show, the R-Spec pushes far beyond the already impressive QX80 Track Spec concept revealed earlier this year.
At the heart of the R-Spec is a heavily modified version of the Nissan GT-R’s legendary 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6, enhanced with custom turbochargers, intercoolers, exhaust manifolds, and an upgraded fuel system to unleash four-figure horsepower. The choice of GT-R power pays tribute to the QX80’s own twin-turbo V6, which shares engineering DNA with the iconic supercar.
To harness that power, the R-Spec features GT-R carbon-ceramic brakes, a custom coilover suspension, and massive 24-inch bronze wheels inspired by GT-R design. Wrapped in 315-width tires, the SUV delivers exceptional grip to match its extreme performance goals.
Visually, the QX80 R-Spec turns heads with a widened, lowered stance and GT-R T-Spec Takumi Edition–inspired bodywork. A color-shifting wrap, paying homage to the Midnight Purple shades beloved by GT-R fans, sets the tone, complemented by unique diffusers, fog lights, badges, and exhaust finishers.
“QX80 R-Spec is a showcase of what happens when our teams take off all the guardrails,” said Tiago Castro, Vice President, INFINITI Americas. “It represents a future where powerful, adrenaline-pumping variants stand alongside the luxury and refinement our clients expect.”
Wild, aggressive, and unmistakably INFINITI, the QX80 R-Spec signals a thrilling new chapter for high-performance luxury SUVs.
When it’s time to upgrade your ride, you may be surprised to learn just how many advantages come with choosing a pre-owned vehicle. At INFINITI of South Atlanta, we take pride in offering luxury vehicles that deliver sophistication, performance, and value — all without the premium price tag of buying new. Whether you’re from Atlanta, McDonough, or Newnan, you’ll find an exceptional selection of used luxury cars and SUVs close to home.
One of the biggest benefits of buying pre-owned is value retention. Luxury vehicles like INFINITI are known for holding their worth, but much of a car’s depreciation occurs in its first year. That means when you purchase a used model, its price more closely reflects its true long-term value. This helps you build equity faster and reduces the risk of owing more than the vehicle is worth.
Another advantage? More features for less. When you buy new, premium packages and upgrades add up quickly. But with a pre-owned INFINITI for example, those same enhancements, from premium audio systems to advanced driver-assist features, are already included in the price. What you see on the sticker is what you get, often at a fraction of the original cost.
Buying pre-owned also gives you the flexibility to move up in trim or model. With the same budget, you might be able to drive home in a higher-end configuration or even a larger, more luxurious model than you’d get if buying brand-new. It’s the perfect way to enjoy added comfort, technology, and performance while staying within your ideal price range.
And finally, knowledge is power when shopping used. With pre-owned vehicles, there’s more real-world information available, expert reviews, owner feedback, safety ratings, and performance reports, giving you extra peace of mind as you make your decision.
At INFINITI of South Atlanta, we make the buying process simple. You can start browsing our pre-owned and Certified Pre-Owned inventory online, complete a quick financing application, and schedule a test drive to experience your favorite model firsthand. Our dedicated team is here to guide you every step of the way — ensuring you find the perfect luxury vehicle that fits your lifestyle and budget.

The all-new 2025 INFINITI QX80 continues to earn industry acclaim, taking home Best-In-Class Premium Full-Size SUV honors in the 2025 New England Motor Press Association (NEMPA) Winter Vehicle Awards.
Engineered to lead in both luxury and performance, the QX80 impressed NEMPA judges with its bold styling, powerful twin-turbo engine, and segment-first technologies designed for confident driving in all conditions. Vehicles in the Winter Vehicle Awards undergo rigorous testing through New England’s harshest months, evaluating performance, safety, and reliability in real-world winter scenarios.
Clifford Atiyeh, NEMPA president, praised the SUV’s commanding presence and refined interior: “The new QX80 keeps its tough body-on-frame bones while dramatically improving ride comfort and handling—an impressive feat for such a large SUV. The AUTOGRAPH interior feels especially sumptuous, with deep carpets, heated leather seating to the third row, and elegant wood and metal details. Many premium SUVs cost $100,000, but the QX80 is among the few that feel worth it.”
Built on INFINITI’s Artistry in Motion design philosophy, the 2025 QX80 combines a powerful, upright stance with a serene, tech-integrated cabin. Safety innovations such as ProPILOT Assist 2.1, Invisible Hood View, 3D Around View®, Predictive Forward Collision Warning, and Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection provide drivers and passengers with confidence on every journey.
“The QX80 represents the very best of what INFINITI stands for—bold design, expert craftsmanship, advanced capability, and an unwavering commitment to our clients,” said Tiago Castro, vice president, INFINITI Americas. “This recognition is especially meaningful given the importance of the Northeast region, where winter performance and year-round comfort are essential.”
