The third generation of the G35 Sedan marked a major evolution over its predecessor, which had closely resembled the Nissan Primera rather than a true premium vehicle. By leveraging the proven RWD platform used in the 350Z, Nissan created a high-performance foundation without developing an entirely new chassis. This strategic move helped keep costs in check while enhancing driving dynamics. By 2001, Infiniti had already earned a degree of respect in the luxury car market, which helped boost G35 sales and elevate the brand's reputation.
In 2001, the BMW 3-Series was still the benchmark for compact premium sedans, but Infiniti came to challenge it head-on. Designed by Hiroshi Hasegawa, the G35 featured a sleek profile with a long hood, wide grille, and vertically stacked headlights that helped it stand out in a competitive segment. The coupe-like rear cabin and short trunk gave the car a sporty, performance-oriented stance.
In 2005, Infiniti gave the G35 lineup a thorough refresh - not just minor styling tweaks, but a comprehensive upgrade aimed at raising its luxury status. The exterior facelift introduced boomerang-style headlights for a more aggressive front end, a redesigned grille with a taller center and chrome trim, and a new front bumper divided into three sections with revised air intakes. At the rear, Infiniti updated the taillights and gave the trunk lid a cleaner, more modern appearance.
Inside, the G35 saw significant changes. A redesigned dashboard introduced modern dials with red needles, and the tachometer and speedometer swapped places with a new LCD display nestled between them. The center stack now housed an upgraded infotainment system featuring a color display, while the new steering wheel offered improved ergonomics and reorganized controls for audio and cruise functions.
Under the hood, the G35 retained the trusted VQ35 engine but tuned it to exceed 300 horsepower. The most notable mechanical addition was the introduction of all-wheel drive versions alongside the traditional rear-wheel drive models - expanding its appeal in regions with variable weather.
