2011 Infiniti EX35 Adds Standard 7-speed Automatic, Along with 18-inch Wheels, New Package Content

Source: Infiniti | Published: Fri Nov 05, 2010

(continued from the previous page)

The EX35 features aluminum accents, while EX35 Journey models offer maple interior accents. There is also a leather-wrapped shift knob, and leather-wrapped steering wheel with controls for audio and cruise control. An 8-way power driver's seat with 2-way manual lumbar support and a 4-way power passenger's seat are standard. A driver's seat memory system is also offered, along with heated front seats (standard on E35X AWD and EX35 Journey models) and an 8-way power front passenger's seat. Also available is a 60/40-split power remote up-folding 2nd row seat with dual controls (operated from the front or the hatch area).

The EX's available Bose Premium Audio System includes 11 speakers (including 2 subwoofers), AM/FM/CD in-dash changer and USB connection port for iPod and other compatible devices. The advanced Infiniti Hard Drive Navigation System features Voice Recognition (VR) for audio and navigation, XM NavTraffic with Real-Time Traffic Information, XM NavWeather with Real-Time Weather Information (XM subscription required, sold separately), Zagat Survey restaurant guide and Streaming Audio via Bluetooth.

Advanced Platform and Powertrain

Under EX's dramatic body is an equally advanced platform and powertrain. The FM (Front Midship) platform helps provide high levels of handling performance. Every 2011 Infiniti EX35 comes standard with a VQ35HR 3.5-liter V6 engine, rated at 297 horsepower and 253 lb-ft of torque, and a new 7-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode, DS mode with Downshift Rev Matching (DRM), and Adaptive Shift Control. EX fuel economy is rated at 17 mpg City/24 mpg Highway for both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive models.

Superb handling is provided by a subframe-mounted independent front double-wishbone suspension with aluminum-alloy upper and lower links, high-performance dual-flow pass shock absorbers and stabilizer bar. The rear suspension is an independent multi-link design with aluminum-alloy upper and lower links and axle housing, high-performance dual-flow pass shock absorbers and stabilizer bar. Steering is provided by a vehicle speed-sensitive power-assisted steering system.

EX's standard braking system includes power-assisted front and rear discs (vented front) and standard Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist (BA). Also standard is Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) with Traction Control System (TCS), while an advanced Intelligent Cruise Control (Full-Speed Range) is optionally available.

Available wheel and tire combinations include new standard 18-inch 8-spoke metallic finish aluminum-alloy wheels with P225/55R18 V-rated all-season tires or new optional 19-inch split 5-spoke aluminum-alloy wheels with 245/45 R19 V-rated all-season tires.

Infiniti EX35 AWD models feature Infiniti's Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system, which utilizes an active torque distribution management system with an active center clutch. The electromagnetic AWD system responds more quickly than conventional hydraulic AWD systems, helping to minimize the compromise of rear-wheel drive performance characteristics on dry roads.

Standard EX35 safety equipment includes an Infiniti Advanced Air Bag System (AABS); driver and front passenger seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air bags; roof-mounted curtain side-impact supplemental air bags for outboard occupant head protection; and a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).

Also standard are 3-point ALR/ELR seat belts (driver's side ELR only) and front seat belts with pretensioners and load limiters and adjustable upper anchors, front seat Active Head Restraints and the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) system for the rear outboard seating positions. EX also features advanced Zone Body Construction with front and rear crumple zones to help disperse crash energy around the passenger compartment.

New for 2011 is the addition of the Blind Spot Warning (BSW). BSW illuminates an indicator light if another vehicle is detected in the blind spot area. If the driver then uses the turn signal, the indicator flashes and an audible warning sounds.

Models and Packages

The 2011 Infiniti EX35 is available in four models: EX35 RWD, EX35 AWD, EX35 Journey RWD and EX35 Journey AWD. EX35 Journey models include power sliding tinted glass moonroof with tilt feature, sliding sunshade and one-touch open/close, Bluetooth Hands-free Phone System, auto-dimming inside mirror with digital compass, maple interior accents and power tilt/telescopic steering column. Heated front seats are added on RWD models (standard on all EX35 AWD models).
