Infiniti: the signs of summer

In anticipation of summer, the company of "Nissan Motor RUS", organized large-scale test-drive range of vehicles luxury brand Infiniti. The event was timed for the start of sales on the Russian market, updated crossover Infiniti FX / EX, sedan and convertible Series Infiniti G, and the entry of the most highly anticipated new items this season - Convertible G37, created by proprietary platform Front Mid-ship. Certainly, the brightest part of the event became a convertible G37. Appearance of the new model features Infiniti brand has inherited a series of G, characterized by elegance, cleanliness and smooth lines. Frankly exhilarating and luxurious interior of the car. High-quality leather trim, inserts on the front panel made of aluminum and shiny silver switches and stylish analog clock gives the interior charm. Managing the process of folding roof in a three-section G37 does not require any effort from the driver: simply press a button on the center console. The whole process of "teleportation" in the bowels of the top boot takes 25 seconds. In this case, the roof can be folded and being outside the car. To do this you must click on the built-in door handle button and hold it in such a position. However, the main advantage of the complex roof structure is more attractive than the proportions of G37 in traditional options convertible with hard top, where the edge of the windscreen is almost over the driver's head. Because of this sense of open space is actually reduced to zero. In the Infiniti G37 form the front legs allows you to fully enjoy the view of the clear sky. In addition, tight layout of the elements of the roof in the boot allowed to refuse a massive poop, inherent in some cars with a similar design, and that is very pleasant - to keep the silhouette coupe. It is also indisputable advantages of this design as compared to gigs, having a fabric top, serves as a good insulation and a magnificent view from the top up. A significant drawback is that when folded luggage capacity is reduced from 333 to 70 liters. But riding with an open top gives a real pleasure, with even high speed does not become a hindrance due to wind-guard, a part of the staff facilities. And with decreasing and increasing temperature superbly handles dual-zone climate control with a special mode. Already known for convertible 3.7-liter 333-horsepower engine, equipped with a proprietary system control valve timing and valve lift height (VVEL), which has great traction in a wide range of speeds, and a new "rapid-fire" 7-speed automatic with manual function choice of gears and sport mode (DS), working virtually without delay, provide an excellent vehicle dynamics. Power and torque are always missing. So that the overtaking and speed rebuild on country highways, we can say are a pleasure. In addition, rear-drive G37 is extremely accurate passes quick turns, and almost complete absence of transverse body roll. And then, at what speed he was doing, for some classmates is simply unattainable. Sitting behind the wheel should just "take aim" to rotations, to take care of choosing the path and keeping a driver's license. The latter will be given to the owner is very difficult. Such indicators are due, above all, near-perfect weight distribution of the axes (51/49), low center of mass and good body rigidity, even with the folded roof, as well as a very competent and properly adjusting the "compartment" chassis, with a view of the increased mass (180 kg) Convertible. It does not hit hard smooth ride - car suspension copes well with small bumps and waves on subjective feelings, it is much softer than the Infiniti G37 Coupe. Lovers' games in the fresh air "certainly will like equipping the vehicle. Out of the box includes such delicious dishes as turning bi-xenon headlamps, rear view camera, BOSE audio system with 13 speakers, access to the car and crank the engine without the key, adaptive cruise control, heated seats and ventilation, as well as a new generation of multimedia systems Infiniti Connectiviti +, which includes navigation. This system is compatible with an iPod, you can view DVD-ROMs and photographs in the format of JPEG, DIvX, and also contains a 10 GB hard drive. This volume is enough to write it up to 300 CDs with music. In addition, the greatly expanded opportunities of navigation. She is now able to work with three-dimensional graphics, which allows a good focus on the complex intersections, and has a convenient interface for searching the address. Moreover, the system laid the cards are not only large Russian cities, but European countries: Finland, Germany, Poland and the Baltic countries. The price of the car depending on the version ranges from 2,499,000 rubles. up to 2,524,000 rubles. In addition to the Infiniti G Convertible series has expanded affordable modification Sedan G25, able to attract luxury brand new customers. The car is equipped with a 2.5-liter V6 rated at 222 hp. with. Maximum torque reaches its peak of 253 Nm at 4800 rpm. And, in contrast to the G37x all-wheel drive version it has the classic rear-wheel drive. Appearance sedans undergone only minor changes. In particular, the car received new front bumper with integrated fog lamps, redesigned front grille and optics. Dynamic qualities and the sound of the exhaust G25, certainly not as impressive as in the modification with 3,7-liter engine, however, the owner will be sufficient cause for joy. Their duties properly handle the engine. He has a clear reaction to the accelerator and good spins to the "bottom" to the maximum speed. These characteristics allow the vehicle to accelerate to 100 km / h in 8.9 sec and a maximum speed of 232 km / h. This also contributes to error-free operation of the new 7-speed automatic, which is now in the staffing equipping the entire range of Infiniti. On the road, G25 behaves very confident. Steering is completely devoid of surprises, provides high accuracy as in the straight-line motion, and when you rebuild. Well-tuned and suspension. It's pretty hard to cause a strong body roll at the time of execution of various maneuvers, but it readily absorbs the small road surface roughness, and only a sharp pavement joints, and short waves can disturb the passengers. A strength of G25 is its cost. In moderate driving style can confine 10.2 liters per 100 km in combined cycle, which, given the car's curb weight (1732 kg) and an automatic transmission, a very good indicator. In addition, along with rich instrumentation and safety trim accents made of aluminum, staffing facilities G25 sedan includes a rearview camera, dual-zone climate control, swiveling bi-xenon headlights, as well as comfortable leather seats with electric adjustments in eight directions, including lumbar support driver. As additional equipment buyers offered Connectiviti + multimedia system and adaptive cruise control. The price of a new modification of sedan starts with a mark of 1.515 million rubles. Changes were made and the most popular on the Russian market model crossover FX. The car got a new 3.7-liter engine capacity of 333 liters. with. and enhanced staff facilities. Depending on the equipment customers will be offered a system of circular view (Around View Monitor), information and entertainment center Infiniti c 9-inch monitor, adaptive cruise control, adjustable suspension stiffness, as well as multimedia system Connectiviti. Running as an updated version will please even the most experienced driver. On the track FX37 behaves so predictable, which is a rather driven business-class sedan, rather than 4.9-meter crossover. The car's handling is not without reason, can be regarded as a reference in the segment SUV. With this sense of control over the car does not leave the driver and crossover curb weight 2010 kg takes light foot sprint. These results can be achieved without the participation of not-wheel drive system ATTESA E-TS and the excellent work 7-speed automatic transmission. Mode of transmission and a well-tuned suspension allows the car to easily take turns. On twisty roads, the sport mode, even with aggressive driving FX37 demonstrates minimal roll and high-performance braking. Price in the base Infiniti FX with a new 3.7-liter engine is 2,490,000 rubles. Similar updates and offers a compact crossover EX, but unlike his older brother's driving characteristics are shifted in the direction of greatest comfort during movement. Price on EX37 is 2,043,500 rubles. for the basic kit. To summarize, I would like to briefly tell what new items are waiting for fans of the brand in the near future. In June, the Russian market will begin selling limited edition Infiniti FX37/50 Limited Edition. Special version of the crossover will be offered a limited edition of 150 cars. The main differences are the original 21-inch alloy wheels, tinted optics. Cars painted in exclusive colors - black and white Black Obsidian Moonlight White. The interior trim is different from the ceiling alkantry, wool flooring and inlays of carbon fiber on the front panel and interior door panels. Price of a special series of 3,256,500 rubles. for the FX37 and 3,875,500 - for the FX50. In addition, in September, the market will have many new updated M-Series and SUV QX.
