The all-new 2007 INFINITI G Sedan, which goes on sale in November 2006, is the second generation of INFINITI’s groundbreaking sport sedan. First introduced in 2002 as an alternative to the existing “machine-like” vehicles in class, everything about the new 2007 G is designed to create a more powerful driving sensation – from its rewarding performance and the sophisticated exterior, to the finely crafted interior and intuitive technology.

The new G’s exterior enhances the original vibrant design theme with seductive, athletic styling that is clean and simple yet very distinctive. Key design elements include the sculpted sword-like grille blades, iconic headlights and taillights and the new, crisp character line that emphasizes the G’s aggressive rear-wheel drive appearance.

Inside, the all-new interior design is refined and inviting, offering a new level of modern warmth and hospitality. The G interior also offers unique features such as the white-and-violet Fine Vision gauge illumination and high-touch, textured aluminum-alloy trim with “Washi” finish (traditional Japanese handmade paper) patterning. 

Available advanced technologies include RearView Monitor, a touch screen navigation system with real-time traffic and the audiophile-quality INFINITI Studio on Wheels™ by Bose®, combining the industry’s first 3-way front door speaker array using 10-inch woofers with a head unit incorporating double oversampling 24-bit Burr Brown® Digital Audio Converters. 

The heart of the G35 remains its advanced engine, platform and drivetrain, anchored by the “next generation” of the award-winning VQ-series 3.5-liter DOHC V6, now rated at 306 horsepower. The standard V6 is mated to a choice of a 5-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode and Downshift Rev Matching or close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission. Steering wheel-mounted magnesium paddle shifters are standard on the G35 Sport model (automatic transmission). 

The G’s second generation FM (Front Mid-ship) platform features a 4-wheel independent suspension with lightweight aluminum components and improved body stiffness. The 2007 G35 is also offered with INFINITI “intelligent” all-wheel drive system. 

Other features include standard Intelligent Key with Push Button Ignition, available INFINITI Navigation System with XM® NavTraffic™ real-time traffic information, touch screen and 9.5 gigabyte Music Hard Drive; Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS); African Rosewood trim; and Intelligent Cruise Control with Preview Braking.
