Test drive Infiniti G37 sedan since 2008 sedan
Not everything is endless. Infiniti G35
Medicists with money, wanting to have a high-class car, often make a choice in favor of Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi. But now the situation has changed ...Our man always had a special attitude towards German brands. But most expensive Japanese technology was long and stubbornly ignored, although in the same America it has long been very popular. Yes, what these Americans understand in cars, the arrogantly exclaimed our experts. However, as soon as they tested them themselves changed: Japanese premium cars suddenly turned out to be held in high esteem, becoming a worthy alternative to the Germans. How this happened, everyone knows: first Lexus entered our market, and a little later, which swore not to get involved with Russia Infiniti. The locomotive in the promotion of the brand was FX, which was the greatest demand for the share. Meanwhile, this company has other very worthy models, including the G35. We want to tell about him today.
General impressions
The former G35 was not a handsome man: in front he was very reminiscent of a frog. The novelty is much more elegant. I must say, the beauty of the date is without arrogance, and the owner is perceived as a successful person with a good taste, and not as a major.
Inside, the machine is completely similar to the aircraft: an energetic style perfect ergonomics (it is noteworthy that the position of the combination of devices can be adjusted with the steering wheel), sophisticated color scheme, high -quality decoration materials, convenient chairs, rich equipment ... Well done Japanese! Today, the interiors of their cars are definitely not inferior to the best European patterns, and in some ways they even surpass them.
For Infiniti G35, there is no such thing as a basic engine: the weakest motor gives enough power to make Infiniti a real fighter. The spirit of this warrior is also supported by the nature of controllability: the car is very obedient and responsive to neither give a sports car (partly due to the displacement of the power unit to the cabin). True, the designers still had to sacrifice sidelines for the sake of gambling in sled: the G35 is quite rigidly practicing irregularities.

Choosing a body
The most affordable of the Infiniti series G sedan (G35x) offered for our market. Perhaps that is why the vast majority of cars knitting along our roads are sedans. The minimum cost of a four -door model is 1 605 600 rubles.
The coupe (G37) is like a four-door, but in fact they have few common body details (just like a BMW 3 series). As a result, the car looks much rapid than the assertive sedan. The salons of both versions, with the exception of different volumes, are almost the same. The price of a two -door car is noticeably higher than that of the counterpart: cheaper than 2,248,600 rubles. It will not be possible to take possession of such a compartment.
Sources of movement
The basic (if such a term is appropriate here) the engine with a working volume of 3.5 l develops a rather impressive 306 liter. With. Up to hundreds, the car shoots for 6 s, and the fuel consumption, although not scanty, but quite acceptable: G35 consumes 18.2 liters in the city and 11 liters on the highway. This engine is installed only under the hood of the sedan (which, in turn, is exceptionally all-wheel drive) and is fixed only with a 5-band automaton. The cost of the basic model with a 3.5-liter power unit is given above.
Well, a 3.7-liter engine with a capacity of 333 liters. With. The property of the coupe. A car with such a motor can only be rear -wheel drive, and equip it unlike the automatic transmission sedan with seven steps. The price of the most affordable version with a similar unit is indicated in the previous chapter.
Basic levels of equipment
The basic sedan is called G35X Sport. His equipment is very impressive. There are a battery of airbags, a bunch of electronic assistants (ABS, anti -book, stabilization system, electronic distribution of force on the brake system contours), as well as many options designed to increase comfort: a leather interior, a full electric package, two-zone climate control, heating the front seats, cruise -control, on -board computer, headlight washer, bixenon optics and even a rear view camera. Do you really need something else? For those who lack something, there is a version of Premium. Its main difference from Sport finish by wood instead of aluminum inserts (surcharge for this modification is slightly less than 18 thousand rubles).
The owner of the compartment, in addition to a more powerful engine and 19-inch wheels, receives adaptive headlights, a sports suspension, four controlled wheels, a more perfect audio system, tire pressure sensors, sports seats, and a body covered with special paint, which seemed to delay small scratches, making them invisible.
For 2 358 600 rubles. You can purchase a compartment performed by Hi-Tech. The main difference from the basic G37 Sport is the presence of the navigation system, active cruise control, as well as support for the Bluetooth protocol.
Additives?
In the database, this car has almost everything you need, therefore, no options are provided (according to the old Japanese custom). Rather, almost no: having paid a little less than 40 thousand rubles, you can equip the sedan with a hatch. That, in fact, is all.
COMPETITION
BMW 3 -rehe
The main competitor of the Infiniti series G BMW 3 -rehe. Compared to the Japanese, the German express has a significantly more extensive line of bodies (in addition to compartment and sedan there is a convertible with a station wagon), and its choice of power units is significantly richer. True, ceteris paribus is noticeably more than the dates.
Lexus IS250
The engine of the Lexus IS250 is much calmer than the Infiniti G35X, despite the similar basic cost. At the same time, there is neither all -wheel drive, nor a two -door body. True, Lexus has something that Infiniti lacks, an extreme version: even G37 is completely useless to compete with IS-F.
Audi A4/A5
Compared to the Japanese rival, the main advantage of Audi, like BMW, is a more extensive line of engines, as well as a larger choice of bodies. In addition, Audi can be equipped at will, unlike the date. But the basic G35 is cheaper than the weaker A4 3.2 V6.
