The 2008 Infiniti EX35 is a brand new and relatively affordable compact and luxurious crossover vehicle-but it is definitely not your typical cross over vehicle. Looking more like a taller version of a sport performance wagon and feeling more like a superior handling full size luxury sedan, the EX35 has much of the hardware and soul of the popular Infiniti G35 Sedan.
The EX35 is available in two trims, the Base model and the Journey edition. Both models come standard with rear-wheel drive with an advanced all-wheel drive system that will automatically adjust itself to accommodate the needs of various driving conditions as an option. Providing power to the EX35 is a 3.5 liter V6 that generates up to 297 horsepower. The standard 5 speed automatic transmission includes a manual shift mode. Standard safety features include a tire pressure monitoring system, a full array of airbags, traction control and a 4 wheel anti lock braking system.
The Base model EX comes with 17-inch alloy wheels, cloth upholstery, a power driver seat, single-zone automatic climate control, a CD stereo with an auxiliary audio jack and satellite radio, a keyless ignition system, and a sunroof. The Journey adds a sunroof, leather upholstery and power folding second row seats that increase the cargo area. Both the Base and Journey models include eye appealing black lacquer and aluminum trim.
A Premium Options Package is available and provides an upgraded Bose sound system that includes a CD player and iPod functionality, Bluetooth technology capabilities and a dual-zone automatic climate control system. The Luxe Elite Options Package offers higher quality leather upholstery, 18-inch wheels and xenon headlights. The optional Technology Package offers a navigation system, 360 degree monitor that provides additional insight all around the vehicle, a lane departure warning system and cruise control
