In the EX35, you’ll benefit from more room than in the G sedan, but it’s still not a very spacious vehicle. Two adults fit nicely in back, although three across is pushing a little. As for cargo space, you’ll find 527 litres with the rear seat in place, and 1,342 litres when it’s folded. In comparison, the new BMW X3, the Mercedes-Benz GLK, the Acura RDX and the Audi Q5 are slightly more capacious.
The EX we’re testing includes every trick in Infiniti’s book, which amounts to $11,100 in options, or roughly the price of a new Hyundai Accent in a clearance sale. For that hefty sum, you do get a ton of electronic gizmos such as: Intelligent Brake Assist, collision warning, Distance Control Assist, lane-departure warning and prevention systems, adaptive cruise control and a blind-spot monitor.
The only problem is that while all these devices help the driver avoid running into other people, they can become irritating after a while; a warning light with what seems to be the blind-spot system symbol has been blinking non-stop in the instrument panel since the beginning of the week.
A handy tool is the adaptive cruise that keeps the speed of the vehicle ahead of you, but it’s only part of the Technology Package that includes all the other bells and whistles.
Base price for the EX35 is $42,200 before taxes, freight and delivery charges. Adding the $1,500 Journey Package (sunroof, power-adjustable steering column, Bluetooth, wood trim), the $4,150 Premium Package (power passenger seat, power-folding rear seats, Bose sound system upgrade, 19-inch wheels, adaptive HID headlights, 360-degree camera), the $2,950 Navigation Package and the aforementioned $2,500 Technology Package brings the total to $53,300.
By the way, you can’t choose option packages à la carte, they’re incremental; that means if you want the Techno goodies to impress your buddies with, you must choose the three other packages first. That’s not nice.
