Infiniti ex test drive since 2007 SUV

BROTHER 2

Ordinary motorists, judging by the alarming reports from demographic fronts, do not show much zeal in the replenishment of their families. In contrast, automobile manufacturers simply went crazy. And they began to rivet into the company to their larger sprinkles of little brothers and sisters. I, I admit, this fertility, which took on the character of some universal misfortune, is not happy. I will say more: I see only harm and degradation in it. It turns out just like a classic: the first cool was a kid, the middle one was and so and Xiak, the youngest ... In short, if it goes on, the car concerns will definitely roll up to the skates of the humpbaches. In the general series of the youngest, the new Infiniti EX35 looks like an exception to the rule that nature is usually resting in the next generation. But I had a lot of questions for this car.
Like the senior relative, the Infiniti Ex Crossover is built on the FM (Front Mid-Ship) platform. The EX35 model uses the Infiniti Attesa E-TS system, where a multi-disc clutch with electronic control is responsible for the distribution of torque. A similar system is used on the models M 2008, FX and sedans of the G. The V6 gasoline engine belongs to the fourth generation of VQ35HR units (the same motor is installed on the G35 sedan). The five -speed automatic gearbox EX35 is equipped with an engine ratio of engine speed when switching to lower gears (DRM) and equipped with a DS mode (sports mode with switching) and ASC system (adaptive gear shift control).
Best friends of girls. Infiniti EX35 burst into a number of similar cars at full speed: BMW X3, Audi Q5, Mercedes-Benz GLK, VW Tiguan ... The first thought that comes to mind: the girls became richer. But not everything is so simple.
When a girl is sitting in Audi Q7, BMW X5, Mercedes GL cars - this is absolutely formatically, it's all very accurate in genre. It is clear that the girl successfully lives in one form or another with a man with money. And it seems to the man that he has everything with this girl remarkably, since he gave her such a car. It is quite obvious that there are no other options in which the girl is driving such cars. Self-Made Girl or business women will never get behind the wheel of such cars. They know how to count money. The first will buy, rather, pepper, a mini or some aesthetic apparatus. For example, Alfa Romeo or Audi A5. The second is more likely to choose the rear seat of the Nissan Maxima or Infiniti M35. But not the BMW X3, Audi Q5, Mercedes-Benz GLK, VW Tiguan ...
Therefore, this is again a gift to a man to a girl who does not make enough money on his own. But this is not such a chic gift as in the first case. Probably because the couple does not live so well. Probably because the deeds of a man are not going as good as they would like. The next option is also possible when it was simply fooled. Selling cars that resemble famous large models with their small forms, sellers are very cunningly confusing the buyer. These people catch the hook more cunning than all fishermen, they are worse than sorcerers from tuning studies. They say: buy a new amazing car for your girlfriend. This is the younger brother of the famous model of such and such. In this car there is almost everything the same as in the older model. Here is an amazing motor, magnificent proportions. It is cheaper.
Counted and quarreled. And, of course, the sponsor is conceived. He, of course, is not against his younger brother, but with savings. And then he still hears advertisements on the radio. For example, this: a friend, buy X3 for one million three hundred and sixty thousand rubles. And he, comparing this with the minimum price of X5, 2 million 340 thousand, thinks further: Oh, not bad. And he dares to buy his brother a brother from some automaker. And so he made a contribution, and ... So he fell on the hook. Because a friend will want amenities, and amenities are options, and options are money. And he climbs deeper into his pocket, and, in the end, sees on his calculator that the youngest cost him the same, or even more than the eldest.
In the case of Infiniti EX35, there is no this cunning. But this does not comfort. On the contrary, it makes you think. And what's the point of buying ex, not FX? If it is so sinking to Infiniti brand cars. Maybe you need to buy a new crossover because FX is rude, and EX is more feminine? So nothing like that. These are two very similar, you can even say the same cars. Just one ten centimeters longer, a couple of nails higher and wider. And most importantly, the price of EX is almost the same as FX. And when I hear that Infiniti EX35 costs 1 million 750 thousand, I won’t think: Oh, not bad - and I won’t hasten the money.
I suppose that the sales manager will play on the sponsor sports vein. He will say: yes you look at which motor. Here are as much as 302 hp! It is as if one motor in the model is a dignity, not a disadvantage. The BMW X3 or Audi Q5 has half a dozen of them. But that's not the point. Message about 302 hp It should scare, not push a caring philanthropist. Well, what can there be 302 horsepower on a female car?
We recently shot one broadcast for television here. And they invited several female stars to the transfer. And these stars were happy to report that they did not know how to drive with a manual gearbox, because they did not learn to drive a car. But they have rights. The traffic police worked as a Catholic Church: they brought the money, get an indulgence for any stupidity. But 300 horsepower, even with a machine gun, do not tolerate stupid things. The 3.5 liter motor requires not almond, but solo. 3.5 liters is to make it clear, four years ago Formula 1.
I'm not talking about the fact that for a girlish city machine such a motor is extra expenses and potential scandals. The car stands in traffic, and fuel flows and flows into a bottomless 3.5-liter well. The girl comes home with an empty tank, the sponsor arranges a scene with the words how much gasoline can burn, could find a lover and closer.
The Infiniti EX35 body is painted with special self -loading paint. It, in comparison with the usual coating, allows you to reduce the number of small scratches by five times. Infiniti EX35 proved its safety in a series of tests of the American Road Security Institute IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety). IIHS has especially noted the excellent operation of the ESC electronic control system EX35, which allows the driver to maintain control over the car even in the most difficult and hopeless situation, when the quality of control drops at too high speed. The best indicators of the EX35 when conducting a frontal crash test at a speed of 64 km/h. Experts did not find the slightest damage to mannequins in the car.
Full visibility. Now let's imagine that Infiniti EX35 does not have an older brother. And what do we have. We have a wonderful car. He is specifically beautiful. The company's designers manage, on the one hand, it seems to be followed by common trends: now, it seems to me that everyone is doing cars with cut back and flying body lines. On the other hand, they manage to find very beautiful original solutions.
Specific in this car and comfort. He is Japanese, not European. This means that the car is quite hard. Not like, of course, like Mazda CX-7. But nonetheless. What can be brought into pluses. Infiniti EX35 is excellently on the road, does not roll in corners (EX has a very low center of gravity), he obeys the steering wheel, and inhibits well. Everything is good in terms of auxiliary electronics. There is ESP, there is a snow mode that helps to pass the torque to the wheels much more smoothly than in normal mode.
The most important hit in a car is a video review system. I personally have been traveling with a rear view camera for the past eight years. And the last two years also with the trajectory of parking. I forced myself to learn to use these things. I forced myself to look at the muddy screen and use hints. But if I turn off the camera and move around the mirrors - I park four times faster. In addition, everything turns out for me exactly to microns. With the trajectory and with a muddy, spanned road mud, a camera, I still have never set the car directly.
In Infiniti EX35, 4 cameras are installed around the perimeter - in a radiator grille, above the rear number and in the side mirrors. This is undoubtedly convenient. Especially in Russia. Say, the girl drove up to the house, and it was dark on the street, and from all sides of a bunch of snow. Although Vladimir Vladimirovich said that we have warming and there will be no snow. And Vladimir Vladimirovich is not mistaken. But suddenly, theoretically, it is still dark on the street, and snow from all sides. In a car with two cameras, the girl scratches on the curb of the car apron, or steps a beautiful boot in the mud, or knocks a neighboring car. And on Infiniti EX35, she will see everything: and what is under her car, and above the car, and whether there are no booster nearby.
Cool shoulders. I will not dwell on other pleasures of the configuration of this car. Their set is not small. There are memory chairs, a smart key that lets only its mistress into the salon, there is an acoustic Bose system with 11 speakers, the Bluetooth system (thank God, they will not steer with one hand and hold the phone with the other), there is even navigation. But for some reason there is no TV. But what about the girl, stuck in the traffic jam, finds out the latest news at home-2? Actually, such an option as a TV in the car is required to be for such money. Christmas trees, we, in the end, are the largest market in Europe! We no longer drive cars (we are in the subway), but we continue to buy cars. So be so kind, give us the full program.
There is no glass roof. But there is another exclusive. A hanger built into the headrest of a driver's seat. And the presence of this hanger tells us that among potential owners Infiniti EX35 are considered men too. Because it is absolutely impossible to imagine a girl in a jacket in Infiniti, but an office worker is easier. It seems to me that this type of owner can be described as a man with an unheard of fate. Looking for. He never married his girlfriend at school Vera Petrova. Because they broke up in the ninth grade, and since then he cannot find it either in classmates or in contact. And he needs to find her and prove that she was brutally mistaken in. And he has good position, and God forbid everyone, and a car with 302 horsepower.
My feelings are in the rain. The new Infiniti EX35 is incomparable, but I do not understand why I should prefer the younger brother of Infiniti to the eldest. And if you can’t do without younger brothers, then let them be such a child prodigy that we all sway and be numb with delight.
Auto Center:
And in California not a season. Sandy beaches are empty in Malibu. Only lonely surfers saddled long Pacific waves. And therefore, the yellow rescue pickups Navara were lined up ready. I so want to drive up and say: you and I are the same blood - Nissanovskaya. But you can’t. Not only is there some of our cars rear -wheel drive. But those that are equipped with a branded all-wheel drive transmission Attesa E-ts are sharpened under asphalt. Cars on optional 18-inch wheels shod in highway tires with a dimension of 255/55, perfectly behave in high-speed turns. But it is worth going to the beach - the protectors quickly clog with sand and allow EX35 to dig. Therefore, it is good that the rescuers of Malibu were not observed by the excitement of the Savior, familiar to the series, not observed. And then, contrary to the ban on the organizers, they rushed towards the unknown. And, perhaps, I would not write these lines, still saving the ech35 in the sands.
Behind the wheel:
Having such a proposal, lunch with a hamburger and pour it with beer is low. For decades, American cars also almost surrendered to the onslaught of the resourceful Japanese who have for decades. They act logically: they ask the new generation of Americans, which they lack in the car. It turns out that in expensive sedans they want to see more stylistic delights. In the compartment - you need to increase space and practicality. In luxury all -terrain vehicles - to improve controllability and elegance. Combine incompatible is called up by infinity-ech35. As far as this succeeded, it was necessary to find out by traveling around the Hollywood hills. Acquaintance with the car brought the hotel at the parking lot. The first impression - in the photographs, EX looks larger. The car turned out to be squat, from some angles it even resembles a compartment. So it's close inside? Two colleagues are already conveniently accommodated from behind, the assassers - there is enough space. A rather soft, but grip driver's seat willingly accepts me, an elegantly curved front panel looks friendly friendly. Not a single unnatural line is organics, and nothing more!
MK mobile:
It’s not for that that the Japanese made this car so that people enjoy the redistribution of torque along the axes or admire the angle of crossing the axes. Infiniti EX35 created to decorate life. It was created to please, to show off, it is profitable to shadow the natural beauty of the owner himself, to emphasize the cut of his costume and focus on the cost of the clock. Infiniti EX35 is another touch to human success, a fashion accessory in a long list of the same expensive jewelry. At the same time, in America, the car will most likely often serve men. And in Russia - women. Since the novelty ideologically stands as a younger brother in a family of handsome sports faces, which means that the eldest will leave a strong floor, and the youngest will be presented to the weak. Hence the mentioned natural beauty of the owner, but in fact - housewives. Even if it is not so natural or not at all beauty. Stylists and public opinion will complement the missing, eliminate the excess, decorate the worthy. And every woman driving Infiniti EX35 will always look like a beauty - desirable, successful, attractive and for most completely inaccessible. A woman-dream woman driving a car.
Drom.ru:
The uncompromising 3.5-liter engine with a capacity of 300 horses rotates faster, and the front suspension periodically begins to vibrate, and now we fly up at the speed that justifies the whole day spent at the wheel. Then we look back and see another row of seats, a spacious luggage compartment, and we begin to realize that Malholland has just rushed throughout the crossover. This is somewhat inappropriate. Who knows what the locals will think? Perhaps we were accepted for the service for servicing banquets, hurrying to the next party with some screenwriter. But, of course, the Infiniti EX35 is no crossover. Now, being surrounded by SUV class cars with a sports character for more than a dozen years, we often forget about how practical cars for outdoor activities have taken numerous forms and filled all possible market niches, where ordinary cars lived before. Having released the EX35, the Infiniti advocates the personalization of sports and utilitarian machines, creating a practical car, which, meanwhile, feels the luxury and temperament of a sports car at the same time. But at the same time, in Infiniti, no one mentions a crossover or station wagon. And since they like to shoot EX35 from below, there is a feeling that the car is dominating you, and that it is actually the size of Nissan Pathfinder.
