G35

G35 is a model designation most commonly associated with the Infiniti G35, a line of compact luxury cars produced by Nissan’s Infiniti brand in the early 2000s. The G35 was offered in two body styles—sedan and coupe—both sharing a 3.5-liter V6 engine. The VQ35DE engine produced about 278 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque, and was paired with either a five-speed manual or a five-speed automatic transmission. An all-wheel-drive variant, badged G35x, was available in some markets.

The G35 was built on the Nissan FM platform, with rear-wheel drive as standard and independent suspension providing a balance of performance and ride comfort. Inside, it aimed to deliver a refined experience for a performance-oriented luxury car, with quality materials and comfortable seating. Exterior styling reflected Infiniti’s design language of the period, emphasizing a sporty yet upscale appearance.

In performance terms, the G35 was praised for strong acceleration, smooth power delivery, and confident handling for its class. It competed with rivals such as the BMW 3 Series and the Lexus IS, appealing to buyers seeking a blend of everyday usability and sporty dynamics.

Infiniti continued to refine the model through its run, and the G35 name was eventually superseded by the Infiniti G37 in the late 2000s, which introduced a larger 3.7-liter V6 and updated styling while retaining the G-series branding. The designation “G35” reflects Infiniti’s G performance lineage and the 3.5-liter engine displacement.
