So the M30d (with its V9X six-cylinder Diesel Engine) is now phased-out in Europe..........and replaced with a four banger diesel?
That is one step back.....
Seriously, premium car buyers in Europe really need to try harder imho. If you can't afford a bigger engine, then you should either find more ways to earn more money so you can afford it OR go into a lower class/category of vehicle.

Driving a big non performance engine in congested European cities and their tiny roads doesn't make any sense and then there's a taxing issues as well. I believe even 335 is a very rare sight in Europe. Big petrol sixers in sedans have never been adopted by European customers properly cause they don't need them.

Well premium or luxury depends on the mindset. To some premium is only the badge, to some its power windows and to some its big engine.

Still, I'm surprised that Nissan-Renault would do this even for there diesel engine lineup in Europe. I could understand if they replaced the 3.7 liter V6 petrol engine (VQ37VHR) with say a 2.5 litter petrol (VQ25DE)..........but replacing the 3.0 diesel V6 with 2.2 liter diesel four-banger is quite hard to accept.
Why not offer both?
BMW offers both a 520d and a 530d. Jaguar retains the 3.0 Diesel six-cylinder engine (Ford-PSA AJD V6) as well as their 2.2 liter Diesel four-cylinder engine (Ford Duratoq i4)

Infiniti and Nissan have introduced the 2015 Fuga in Japan.
Like the facelifted Infiniti Q70, the updated Fuga has a new front fascia with a revised grille that is flanked by LED headlights and LED daytime running lights. The sedan also has additional chrome trim, restyled mirrors - with integrated turn signals - and new 18-inch aluminum wheels. Out back, there's a modified rear bumper and LED taillights.
Interior changes are relatively limited but include additional sound deadening material, a revised glove box and an improved rear seat.
Under the hood, three engines are available including:
A 2.5-liter V6 with 225 PS (165kW) and 258 Nm (190 lb-ft) of torque
A 3.7-liter V6 with 333 PS (245 kW) and 363 Nm (267 lb-ft) of torque
A hybridized 3.5-liter V6 with a combined maximum output of 364 PS (268 kW)
The Fuga is currently on sale and Japanese pricing starts at ¥4,104,000.
