Infiniti M-Series II / Nissan Cedric / Gloria (Y34) Sedan (2002-2004)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Infiniti M-Series Mark II / M45 (chassis code Y34) is an executive sedan in production from 2002 to 2004. It was available with a single naturally-aspirated V8 engine that displaced 4.5 liters. The M45 was also sold as Nissan Cedric or Nissan Gloria.
The M45 shared its VK45DE V8 engine with the F50 Q45, which was ostensibly the brand's flagship. In terms of chassis and suspension, the two were also rather similar. Still, the M45, being one class lower, is marginally smaller and less well appointed.
