Test Drive Infiniti G25 Sedan since 2010 Sedan

Start from the beginning

This car has no charisma, there is practically no history, and there is no aristocratic aura too. And also - the glory of sports victories. So they spoke about Infiniti G35 and continue to talk about Infiniti G37. And it is very good that the compartment does not have a garland of the above-mentioned labels. Sometimes you want the car to be just fast, beautiful and ok, without all this cargo responsibility.
The car, as well as, actually, the brand itself was invented for America, and this explains a lot. That is how a good civilian action movie seems to be seized from the first second and does not let go to the last. You leave the cinema - and in the soul easily, and the head is cleared of cases who have annoyed you during the day. Approximately with the same feeling slam the door in the evening before the entrance of your home: small troubles were with you only before parking, and after safely weathered from the head at a speed of 5.9 C, which G37 needed to gain a hundred.
The G37 coupe is an upgraded version of the previous one very popular in the North American Infiniti model market with the G35 index. By the way, the reproaches in the absence of historical roots are not very legitimate, since G35 is essentially the eleventh generation of Nissan Skyline. Well, if you close your eyes to the fact that with the legendary skyline past, the current versions of the model have not so much in common: instead of the row engines, V-shaped, modifications with turbocharging and the GT-R version were not released ... However, it was under the name Infiniti G35 first The official Skyline appeared on the US roads.
The key difference between G37 from the G35 is already in the title: the volume of the V-shaped six was increased from 3.5 to 3.7 liters, thanks to which the power increased to 333 hp. The car has become not only more dynamic, but also smasher in a speed set, of course, if you are not going to provoke jerks yourself. This is the merit of a new seven-step automaton. In the box of the previous model of the steps five, and therefore the acceleration was uneven. When transferring the box to the sports mode DS car reaction becomes sharper, pedal gas - responsive, and the tachometer arrow does not fall below the mark of 3000 rpm. As with the previous model, G37 has the ability to switch gear with submissive petals. It is convenient to manage the latter with the latest ones and pleasantly, because the purple side of the petals is covered with skin. It is from such minor things like the little things and the premium quality of Infiniti is folded.
The coupe did not make all-wheel drive by analogy with the G. series sedan. The designers were fairly considered that it was the classic layout that should deliver a special joy to the driver. With a sharp start on wet asphalt on the dashboard flashes the SLIP icon, signaling that the grip of the wheels with an expensive low. The situation is in every way trying to improve the system of dynamic stabilization. However, when you fall into a rut that for some reason are sold in almost all the left bands of domestic highways, it is no longer enough. The coupe is almost on the cannon-19-inch discs and a thin-thin layer of rubber - the rear wheels with such a force are trying to bring stern from the gauge that the steering wheel in this situation is worth a lot of effort.
Although the Infiniti coupe cannot be called an overall car, in the previous model, the rear view camera was as standard. Now G37 is also equipped with a parking sensor, and not only rear, but also the front. You feel the obvious need for all this equipment immediately as soon as you sit on the driver's seat. Low; What is happening for the feed, you can only guess.
The appearance of the model did not change, if you do not take into account the new design of the front bumper, which, let's say straight, does not rush into the eyes. In the same way, you will not notice the improvement of the painting of the body, which is now covered by a transparent layer of varnish based on a highly elastic polymer that preserves a glossy shine and restoring the paint surface after light scratches to an almost initial state.
In general, the changes that appeared on the G37 are similar to conscientious work on errors. As if in the Infiniti marketing department, not only all client reviews for G35 were studied, but also articles of eaten journalists. Buttons of heating front seats look cheap? Here you are, please, the new design of these buttons. No electric drive mirrors in premium sports compartment? Indeed, like this! And now there has been an electric drive. The fuel tank is not sufficiently voluminous, and you have to travel too often for refueling? Well, we will increase it, let only 5 l, but now you can take 80 liters of gasoline on the road. By the way, the car's delicate appetite, the fuel consumption in the city did not exceed 11.8 liters per hundred, which is a good result for a motor with a volume of 3.7 liters.
The Russian market G37 is available in two configurations - Sport and Hi-Tech. Thank God, none of them envisages the trim of the salon with a tree - only aluminum inserts are offered with a characteristic uneven texture of traditional Japanese paper Vasi. Looks salon in such a style of sports and technologically. Analog clock with an oval dial looks a little alien - hello Maserati - and the American parking brake, included in the pedal.
Top Hi-Tech equipment, in addition to the standard Sport equipment, includes active cruise control, integrated Bluetooth system and the Russian navigation system, which first appeared on the G-series models. It can be controlled as a controller and by means of a touchscreen. It is very simple and convenient to put the route through additional points. Not an exact address can be specified as the end item, and the intersection, which, as is known, highly simplifies the use of the navigator in the confused system of numbering of Moscow houses. We agreed to forget about concerns?
