2007 INFINITI EX 3.5L V6 7AT RWD (297 HP)

Vehicle Overview

In terms of crossover vehicles, Infiniti chose its own way to made them, without the ruggedness of an SUV, and with the lines of a sports wagon.

Nissan had a long experience in building off-road vehicles and sports cars. Its premium brand, Infiniti, had to build something different, using that expertise in both areas. So, instead of starting with an SUV platform, they started with a sports-sedan. On the other hand, instead of trying to look tough, it succeeded to look sleek.

From some angles, the Infiniti EX looked more like a hatchback than an SUV. The proportions were just like those of a compact vehicle with a raked tailgate. But still, when looked closely, it revealed its real dimensions of a compact SUV. Its headlights design looked more like the one found in the Infiniti G35 sedan. The long hood compared to the rest of the car amplified a sporty image.

Inside, the Infiniti EX featured a luxurious interior garnished with real leather on the contact surfaces and man-made leather for the lower parts of the seats, and the seatbacks as well. The stitches looked premium and the whole interior was carefully crafted for four adults, even though the rear seats didn’t seem to leave too much headroom.

Under the hood, there was the same 3.5-liter V6 engine from the G35 Sedan, with the same automatic gearbox. The car was offered either with an all-wheel-drive or rear-wheel-drive system.
