2012 Infiniti G37S on 20x8.5 Front and 20x10 Rear Stance SC5 Machine Black wheels wrapped with Falken tires.
Vehicle Overview
The G37 comes as a sedan, a coupe and a folding hardtop convertible. The sedan and coupe come with rear- or all-wheel drive; the convertible is rear-drive only. The sedan has room for five while the other body styles can hold up to four people. Competitors include the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class, as well as the Lexus IS, Cadillac CTS and Audi A4. For 2011, Infiniti introduced a new entry-level G25 sedan to slot under the G37 sedan, but the coupe and convertible come only in G37 form.
New for 2012
The G37 sedan Limited Edition adds a Graphite interior color and 18-inch alloy wheels with a dark finish, while the G37 Sport Appearance Edition sedan gains a black grille. The convertible gets a spare tire instead of a tire-repair kit, and there are no significant changes for the coupe.
Exterior
The G37 sedan features headlights that sweep back along the car, as well as a curved hood and large grille. Exterior features include:
- Standard xenon high-intensity-discharge headlights
- Optional adaptive headlights swivel in the direction of a turn
- Standard 17-inch alloy wheels
- Optional 18-inch alloy wheels
Interior
The G37 sedan seats five, though the rear center position is uncomfortable. Infiniti does not offer a folding backseat, but that's something competitors like the 3 Series and C-Class do. Interior features include:
- Standard leather seats
- Standard six-speaker, USB/iPod-compatible stereo
- Optional Bose premium stereo
- Optional navigation system with Bluetooth streaming audio
Under the Hood
The G37 sedan's 3.7-liter V-6 makes 328 horsepower and 269 pounds-feet of torque. Mechanical features include:
- Standard seven-speed automatic transmission
- Optional six-speed manual
- Rear- or all-wheel drive (G37x)
Safety
The G37's optional adaptive cruise control can alert the driver, preload the brakes and tighten the seat belts if it senses rapidly decelerating traffic ahead. Standard safety features include:
- Six airbags
- Active front head restraints
- Four-wheel antilock brakes
- Electronic stability system
The coupe can come with either a six-speed manual transmission or a seven-speed automatic. The G37 coupe has the strongest V-6 in the G lineup. It makes 330 hp and 270 pounds-feet of torque. For performance enthusiasts, Infiniti offers an IPL coupe with a 348-hp V-6 that includes a rear spoiler and 19-inch rims.
Infiniti brought the G37 convertible to market for the 2009 model year. It uses a folding metal hardtop that deploys or stows in about 30 seconds. Trim levels include the base, Sport and Limited Edition. The convertible's 3.7-liter V-6 makes 325 hp and 267 pounds-feet of torque and teams with a six-speed manual or seven-speed automatic transmission. High-end features include heated and ventilated seats and a Bose Open Air stereo, which places speakers on each side of the front head restraints.
Available with rear- or all-wheel drive, the G25 sedan employs a 2.5-liter V-6 with 218 hp and 187 pounds-feet of torque. A seven-speed automatic transmission is standard. Base and Journey trim levels are available. The G25 base comes standard with leather upholstery, power front seats, single-zone automatic climate control and a CD stereo with an auxiliary jack. The Journey has similar equipment to the G37 Journey. Upgrades include dual-zone climate control, additional power seat controls, USB/iPod stereo integration and heated front seats. A moonroof is optional. The all-wheel-drive G25x carries Journey-level features.
