New York Preview: Infiniti EX Concept

We are less than a week away from the New York International Auto Show and nissansportmag.com has the scoop for the new Concept from Infiniti named “EX”. Although judging by the fact the information has been written in the past tense, we suspect the details shown are from the official press release.

Mark Igo, vice president and general manager, Infiniti Division, Nissan said: With this stunning EX Concept, we're pleased to announce that along with the basic exterior and interior designs, the production Infiniti EX will include much of the EX Concept's innovative technology.

The EX Concept features a liquid crystal glass roof that (impressively) electronically alters the top of the vehicle from a transparent state to a more translucent appearance. The glass roof technology is a fascinating study in how technology can be utilized to change the entire interior atmosphere of a vehicle by adding or subtracting not just light, but the occupants view of the outside world.

Other features include:

* Around View Monitor (AVM), which uses miniature cameras mounted behind the windshield and on the sides and rear of the vehicle to help reduce blind spots during parking.
* Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) system utilizes a piece of existing technology (Infiniti?s currently available Lane Departure Warning System) to interact with the VDC system and assist the (sleepy? distracted?) driver to maintain lane position if he or she begins to inadvertently drift out of the lane.

The EX35 is poised to slide into the lineup next to the highly successful FX series as early as this fall, and certainly before the end of 2007. Expect the crossover, a shoe-size smaller than the FX, to be priced in the mid $30,000 range.

Hmm.. I got mixed feelings on this one at the moment. I really do love the current SUV's that Infiniti have, especially the FX, but this one's a little iffy. I guess they're trying to create a 'family' look with those front lights, coz the shape is just like the Infinit sedans... although I have to go it to Infiniti coz the front lights are a perfect mix between the 5 series and E-class lights..hehe.

As for the rear, well instantly reminds me of the Subaru Tribeca, especiall the lights and the line connecting the two lights.


But as an overall package I think it looks pretty good. .. and oh, man oh man are Infiniti come up with some stunning looking rims! Perfectly mix between sculptured aggression and sophistication.

SHall i dare say Murano?

That impression came to my mind as well, but it really isn't saying much since Infiniti is Nissan, so you'd expect some sort of up-spec'ed Murano-type compact SAV.

I guess overall it's just a baby-FX.. which honestly isn't a bad thing at all..

Whoa, that is about the best interior Infiniti has ever done. Really swoopy. This headrest is particularly interesting:



Though I know it won't make it to production.
