MORE ROOM TO CROSS OVER; Infiniti EX35 finds still More space in the car-based ute market.(News)
Byline: MARK VAUGHN
Is there still room to fit more crossover SUVs in the market? Sure there is! This month, Infiniti wedges the EX35 into the segment between sporty crossovers such as the Acura RDX and the BMW X3 and sporty sedans such as the Acura TL, the BMW 3 Series and Infiniti's own G35. This ain't no Pathfinder.
"Growth in the luxury-crossover and luxury-utility segment has been big, but there are still unmet needs,'' said Stefan Conrady, regional product manager of the EX. "Unmet functional needs and unmet emotional needs.''
So the EX is about the meeting of utility and emotion. We couldn't make this up.
Like seemingly everything created by Nissan and Infiniti, the EX35 is based on the FM platform, the one that famously rides under the 350Z. That's a strong starting point.
Like the Nissan Z, the EX gets a very good engine. This version of the Z's award-winning 3.5-liter VQ35 V6 makes 297 hp and 253 lb-ft of torque. A fairly direct-feeling five-speed automatic delivers torque to either the rear wheels or all four wheels, depending on drivetrain choice.
The interior is artsy enough, but you may find more room in more ungainly competitors.
