Test drive Infiniti G25 sedan since 2010 sedan
Point G.
Infiniti G35 is an erogenous zone. Everyone who has it is provided with enchanting ecstasy, which lasts as long as there is enough fuel in the gas tank Infiniti continues to step by step to bring its models to the Russian market. The last novelty of the G35 sedan. At the end of the year, the Japanese promise to start delivering the G37 compartment, and at the moment the most incendiary is the four-door thirty-fifth with a 315-horsepower V6, automatic and all-wheel drive.
The car moves the speedometer arrow from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.2 s. Such numbers cause a slight dizziness, even when you are next to the car. In general, it sounds tempting
Fast, daring, powerful, rejuvenating, inciting to sharp and aggressive riding, G-sedan impressed with behavior, rather, characteristic of the compartment. And the brightest mark in the soul remained from the motor.
Unlike Infiniti M35, the G-class engine received new pistons, an intake manifold, as well as a system for adjusting the height and time of opening the final valves. The compression degree (up to 10.6) increased, the limit of the working revolutions (up to 7,500 rpm), and the power was lifted by as much as 35 liters. With. The most difficult thing to communicate with the G35 force him to act smoothly, evenly and obediently only is it necessary?
Thousands of different cars go from conveyors daily, which kill in people the desire to enjoy the rapid movement and the means of this movement. And in this, the gas pedal slightly touched and the powerful pickup delicately, but persistently pushes forward to new turns. At the same time, a person at the wheel receives a much more juicy portion of sensations from acceleration and overload than passengers. Usually everything happens the other way around, but I like Infiniti approach! Of course, until I had to change with a colleague and transfer to the right
The sedan owes confident overclocking not only to the motor, but also to the work of a five -speed machine. The automatic transmission is very quickly overwhelmed by speeds, competently decreases in Kik Dowun mode and that the most pleasant does not switch to the DS high in sports mode. At the same time, it is possible to unscrew the engine to the limit 7,500 rpm and automatically transmission.
The manual regime does not make global adjustments to the nature of the ride, but gives a sense of complete control over the situation. Moreover, you can switch speeds not only with the shocks of the selector back and forth, but also with steering wheel magnesium petals.
The G35 is based on the same FM platform, which collects the M and crossover FX sedan. Its plus the ability to place most of the engine in the wheelbase, having shifted the center of gravity closer to the middle of the car.
In combination with all-wheel drive and a delicate system of exchange rate stability (which carefully hides the fact of its existence), the sedan is an unquestioningly obviously listening to the helm and is delighted from the very first minutes of the trip. The steering wheel, by the way, is not for weaklings: when parking, you need to make an effort so that Infiniti turns the face, but at speed rotate the wheels and easier and more pleasant. The chassis instantly reacts to each degree of steering, easily screwed the sedan into the most complex turns.
In general, for the day spent in the G35 cockpit, I did not like the brakes only. Rather, not effectiveness drew attention to myself, but a feature of their work: the machine stops in a timely manner, but the softness and uninformativity of the left pedal require addiction.
Each sedan has to, from time to time, go with the usual asphalt trajectory and move to a winding forest path that promises a repeated meeting of the bottom with stones and stumps. But the G35 suspension was long enough to postpone such contacts.
The racks do an excellent job of preventing the transfer of blows and vibration to the body; Only small cracks in the asphalt cause light discomfort, which are perfectly voiced by wheels with low -profile tires.
Inside, Infiniti was liked by stylish optimal devices, which are clearly visible and willingly share their indicators from any angle, they move in height along with the adjustment of the steering column. But wooden inserts and white-purple devices (in the style of Honda Civic) seem not the best design solution. But aluminum, instead of African Palcean, would be in its place. At the very top of the central console there is a color display, where information from the rear view camera and DVD player is also displayed. Below are the control panels of the Infiniti information center, an audio system and climate control. You can control them without taking off your hands from a leather three -spoke steering wheel, which is slightly smaller than average size, but much better in handling.
Soft leather chairs do not have sports, but very good lateral support. The landing here is quite low. This is the only drawback in the cabin: the roof hangs with a rather low high drivers to sit higher, and the rear passengers with an increase of 180 cm are unlikely to straighten their backs with vertical landing.
A very worthy car! Competitors Infiniti G35 have one joy: its quotas for Russia are small, and the lines have already stretched for several months.
There is no more reason for a good mood especially, given the speedy start of sales of the compartment. A car made in the image and likeness of the modern generation of the cult Nissan Skyline, which was not officially supplied to Russia.
Eh, we drive! ..
