Overview
The thirteenth-generation was unveiled in November 2013. The thirteenth-generation Skyline was identical to the Infiniti Q50 sedan, aside from rear badging and minor trim differences. Until 2019, it retains the Infiniti badges from the Q50. One major changes was the debut of an electric-gasoline hybrid powertrain in the range and the revival of four-cylinder engines and turbocharged models. In a major departure from previous generations, the V37 Skyline is only available as a four-door sedan. However, the US market received a coupé based on the V37 Skyline as the Infiniti Q60 in August 2016. The Skyline Coupe is not offered due to declining sales.
