Infiniti, Nissan’s premium offshoot, hasn’t pitched itself as an overtly sporting brand, preferring instead to market its interesting and intriguing line-up of saloons, crossovers and SUVs as refined, graceful, luxurious and high-tech.
The G Series comprises of the G Coupe, G Convertible and G Saloon, each of which rivals the BMW 3 Series, according to Infiniti.
The G37 Coupe is the closest thing the firm currently has to a performance car, but the saloon isn’t far behind. Infiniti claims the G37S coupé is a natural competitor for the BMW 330i coupé, which has a similar price.
In any bodystyle, the G is a low and reasonably lean front-engined, rear-drive car, powered by the impressively versatile 3.7-litre V6 that is also used in the EX37 crossover.
In top S spec, as driven here, the G37 gets stiffer suspension rates than the lesser GT models, allied to bigger brakes, a clever active rear-steer system that sharpens both low-speed response and high-speed stability, plus a viscous coupling limited slip differential. S spec also brings comfortable and supportive sports seats with adjustable side bolsters.
