2009 Infiniti G37 Sedan: At a Glance

Just two years after a total redesign, the ground-breaking second-generation Infiniti G Sedan takes another leap forward for the 2009 model year with the addition of a new, larger 328-horsepower 3.7-liter “VVEL” V6 and 7-speed automatic transmission (as appropriate for a cutting-edge performance sports sedan, it is also available with a 6-speed manual transmission).

Now designated as the Infiniti G37 Sedan, other enhancements for 2009 include new available sport brakes with 4-piston front/2-piston rear calipers and large 14-inch front and 13.0-inch rear rotors (G37S Sport 6MT, G37 Journey with Sport Package); new 18-inch wheels (G37S Sport 6MT, G37x with Sport Package, G37 Journey with Sport Package); Scratch Shield paint (self-healing clearcoat paint finish) and two new exterior colors – Sahara Sandstone and Moonlight White; and revised interior trim, including softer touch lower door panels, brighter “Washi” aluminum trim color and a redesigned (dial type) seat heater switch.

The 2009 Infiniti G37 Sedan is available in four

models – G37 Sedan, G37 Sedan Journey, G37x Sedan AWD and G37S Sedan Sport 6MT.

The Infiniti G37 Sedan’s strikingly seductive exterior continues to be defined by its sleek wave form hood, signature G-style taillights and raked A-pillars and athletic stance – along with new, smaller outside mirrors adopted from the G37 Coupe. Inside, the G37 Sedan offers a crafted, heritage-inspired interior environment and luxury features such as standard leather-appointed seating and an available audiophile-quality Infiniti Studio on Wheels by Bose, which combines Bose’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 G37 Sedan’s new engine combines with the second-generation FM (Front Mid-ship) platform – featuring a 4-wheel independent suspension with lightweight aluminum components – to provide responsive acceleration and agile handling. The G37x AWD adds Infiniti’s “intelligent” ATTESA E-TS? all-wheel drive system.

Advanced technologies include standard Intelligent Key with Push Button Ignition and available RearView
