Infiniti launched the third-generation I-series (I30 and I35) in 1998 as the Nissan Cefiro in Japan, with U.S. buyers receiving it in 1999 as a premium 2000 model year vehicle. Although it shared mechanical underpinnings with the Nissan Maxima, the Infiniti I30/I35 was designed to stand apart as a luxury alternative, positioned against rivals like the Acura TL, Lexus ES300, and Cadillac Catera.
From the outside, the I30/I35 subtly echoed the Maxima’s silhouette, but Infiniti upgraded the styling to offer a more upscale impression. The sedan featured a refined chrome grille, reshaped front apron, and flowing body lines. At the rear, redesigned taillights stretched across the trunk and were joined by a sleek chrome strip, enhancing the premium look.
Inside, the cabin design reflected Infiniti’s luxury ambitions. Though it mirrored the Maxima’s layout, higher-quality materials and smoother contours gave the I30/I35 an edge in sophistication. Rounded air vents, soft dashboard curves, and a slightly longer wheelbase provided enhanced rear-seat comfort, a major selling point in the segment.
Under the hood, Nissan’s advanced VQ-series V6 engine delivered improved performance figures on paper. Still, the 2000 I30/I35 proved marginally slower in 0-60 tests than its predecessor - sacrificing speed for comfort and refinement.
