Infiniti: A new 4WD model is added to the comparatively small range

Author: Robin Roberts

The G37x S is the latest addition to the Infiniti G Saloon line-up.

It is the first time Infiniti’s sportiest S grade has been available with AWD in the G range. Previously only the GT was available with AWD.

Like all G models, the G37x S is powered by a 316bhp (320PS) 3.7-litre V6 mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifts – a combination that delivers 0-62mph acceleration in just 6.0 seconds. And with Infiniti’s torque-sensing AWD system aboard, the swift pace is available virtually irrespective of weather or road surface. The car has a top speed of 149mph and an official combined fuel consumption of 25.7mpg (11.0 l/100km) with CO2 emissions of 255g/km.

The newest G model costs from £38,979 and bears all the style, features and technology that set the Infiniti brand apart. The sole AWD model in the G line-up for 2012, the G37x S is distinguished by S hallmarks such as red S badges, 18-inch Sport design alloy wheels and smoked lens headlights.

Inside, features include sports seats, with 14-way electric adjustment for the driver, and aluminium pedals and footrest. The G37x S also comes with the Multimedia pack of hard disk drive (HDD) navigation and music systems, 10-speaker Bose® Premium Sound System, reversing camera and high resolution touch screen.

Like every G model sold in the UK, leather seat facings, Shodo aluminium trim, adaptive bi-Xenon lights, Scratch Shield paint, i-Key smart access, electrically adjustable front seats and steering column, and heated front seats are standard. The only option for any G model is metallic paint (£577).

The G37x S takes its place in a new-look G line-up. The flagship G37 S Premium (£40,619) builds its credentials with keen drivers thanks to 4-Wheel Active Steer (4WAS), sports suspension, sports brakes and Viscous Limited Slip Differential to get the most from the balanced rear-drive chassis. It also comes with Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) and Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA) among a suite of electronic safety aids.

Two GT models, both now in rear-wheel drive form only, make up the entry point to the range. The G37 GT costs from £34,909 while the GT Premium – with Multimedia pack and sunroof among its extras features – costs from £37,849 OTR.

The G family in the UK is completed for 2012 by the G37 Coupé (from £36,359) and G37 Convertible (from £45,235), both of which continue unchanged.

The Infiniti G saloon has rapidly made an impression as a business car and the additional model will be very popular with company car management .
