Infiniti ex test drive since 2007 SUV

Test drive Infiniti EX35: Gourmet dish

The world premiere of the pre-production prototype EX35 took place at the International Motorshow in New York in 2007. The novelty is built on the Infiniti FM platform, which it shares with sedans G and M, as well as with a full -size FX crossover.
In Russia, the crossover segment is growing exponentially. With the growth of the well -being of the population of large cities, motorists are increasingly paying attention to cars with an enlarged clearance. Although most of these cars cope with impassability a little better than any full -wheel drive car, the principle of sitting high, no one canceled far. In addition, the tightness in parking lots and in the courtyards often makes car owners to storm curbs in the summer and snowdrifts in the winter. With their dimensions, medium -sized crossovers are simply indispensable for these purposes in a metropolis. Possessing actually passenger control, the SUV class cars (Sport Utility Vehicle) facilitate the fate of their owners when looking for a free place for an overnight stay.
At the moment, in the lineup, in fact, each automaker has at least one crossover. In addition, depending on the manufacturer, engine power, equipment and many other factors, price dispersion in the crossover segment is from 600,000 rubles to infinity, which is limited only by the imagination and requests of the client.
The back with two chrome -made pendants of the exhaust system, elegant LED lamps and a spoiler on the back door emit goodwill.
The Infiniti brand, which relatively recently entered the Russian market, does not stop pampering its fans with new products. More recently, sales of a new generation of a full -size Infiniti FX crossover began. In the meantime, we pay attention to the younger brother FX The average size crossover of the premium-class Infiniti Ex, which was on our test.
The world premiere of the pre-production prototype EX35 took place at the International Motorshow in New York in 2007. The novelty is built on the Infiniti FM platform, which it shares with sedans G and M, as well as with a full -size FX crossover. To improve handling, the wheelbase was reduced to 2,845 mm. According to the technical part, the Infiniti EX35 actually completely repeats the G35X all -wheel drive sedan.
Smooth lines, a swift silhouette, which sets on the wings of the head optics, the branded chrome grille of the radiator and the elongated hood express the obstinate disposition of this crossover.
The appearance of EX35 is sports and elegant. The combination of these two qualities makes passers -by and neighbors turn around. Smooth lines, a swift silhouette, which sets on the wings of the head optics, the branded chrome grille of the radiator and the elongated hood express the obstinate disposition of this crossover. Short front and rear overhangs, the interior displaced back and the smooth line of the roof give even more sports and swiftness. The back with two chrome -made pendants of the exhaust system, elegant LED lamps and a spoiler on the back door emit goodwill. The combination of rather compact sizes (length 4635 mm, width 1800 mm, height 1600) and sports design gives the crossover some mysterious charm. There is no that brutality and aggression, as in the large Infiniti FX, but one glance is enough to understand: you are far from an ordinary car, but a character, ready to shoot at any moment. This is the charm of design thought when many individual elements create an image that, without any pronounced parts at the subconscious level, makes it associate it with great power, sports and swiftness.
Radiator grille, front and rear optics, wheel discs are separate elements, the combination of which creates the finished image of Infiniti EX35
With the Infiniti salon, everything is as it should be at the luxury brand. High -quality materials, as well as the contrast of light and dark, create comfort and a feeling of luxury. Leather chairs clearly fix the body in the strong arms of developed lateral support. The pillow is short, but against the background of general convenience, this defect is virtually invisible. Thanks to the function of the driver's seat in 8 directions with automatic setting when starting the engine, finding a convenient position behind the wheel is not difficult. The chubby steering wheel, trimmed with skin, is characterized by a comfortable grip and has adjustment in two planes. The optest panel of the devices has pleasant backlight and good informativeness. On top of the central console, a multifunctional color display is traditionally located, which issues an on -board computer, an audio system, a climatic installation, as well as other car settings.

Another feature of the new Infiniti crossover is four camcorders located in front, from behind, as well as in the side mirrors of the rear view. After a period of addiction and with a certain dexterity using this system, you can maneuver in the parking lot, completely despite the sides. For greater convenience, the image transmitted from the sides of the car can be displayed on the display in two projections in parallel parking to the border on the screen displays the right lower part, and when parking between cars on the display, you can project a view from above. However, in the conditions of the Russian climate, this feature will be useless, at least several months a year, since because of slush on the roads the cameras quickly get dirty, forcing the driver to rely only on his own eye.
The rear passengers in Infiniti EX35 will be cramped. Even a convenient sofa with an armrest will not brighten up a clearly limited space for the legs. By the way, according to the sensations, it is much smaller here than in the G35 sedan sedan. The luggage compartment volume is modest 309 liters, although in such cars this indicator fades into the background. Despite this, a useful luggage space can be significantly increased if you fold the rear row of seats using an electric drive.
The original placement of the Bose audio system subwoofer, which simultaneously serves as the fasteners of the dopatic spare. The rear row of seats is not different. The luggage compartment volume is modest 309 liters, but the beneficial space for baggage can be significantly increased if you fold the rear row of seats using an electric drive.
Under the hood of the crossover is a V6 gasoline engine with a volume of 3.5 liters similar to the one that is equipped with a G-series sedan, with the exception of some design changes that have reduced power from 315 to 306 hp. The main point falls on the rear axle, when slipping, which part of the moment is transmitted to the front wheels using a friction coupling. A 5-speed automatic transmission works in pairs with the engine. The EX35 accelerated dynamics are slightly less explosive than the sedan had a small difference in power, in addition, a 100 kg crossover is heavier.
On a suburban highway with an abundance of turns Infiniti EX35, it demonstrates passenger habits, only a little inferior to the sedan. Due to the higher and heavy body, the demolition threshold occurs a little earlier.
This engine is rightfully included in the ten best engines of the world. Powerful acceleration and instant response to pressing the accelerator in the entire speed range allow the heading of more powerful SUVs. Automatic transmission with sports mode and the possibility of manual switching works clearly, without delay. The transition to a lower gear occurs instantly. On a suburban highway with an abundance of turns Infiniti EX35, it demonstrates passenger habits, only a little inferior to the sedan. Due to the higher and heavy body, the demolition threshold occurs a little earlier. But this is in the framework of the test. In everyday life, such checks are fraught with departure from the highway, so it is better to abandon them and simply enjoy the driving EX35. In the sports, tight steering and a well-tuned suspension allow you to fully feel control over the car. The active and direct handling of Infiniti EX35 is one of the best in the class. It is a fact.
All interior elements are made at the highest level. All expensive skin, high -quality plastic and excellent assembly.
The all -wheel drive system analyzes the road environment and can turn on and disable the front axle if necessary. Moreover, this happens not only when slipping of the rear wheels: for example, when starting from the place of Infiniti EX35, it is always all -wheel drive, regardless of the type of coating and the amount of gas supplied. After the car has moved, and in the absence of slipping, the front -wheel drive turns off, and the crossover becomes rear -wheel drive.
Good sound insulation, an excellent Bose audio system with 11 speakers and a noble roar of a six-cylinder engine will make you remember this date from Infiniti EX35 for a long time, which, despite the not-spacious interior and high price, was able to touch the soul with its unique charm, excellent quality and honed controllability .
