Review 2012 Infiniti G Coupe IPL

2012 Infiniti G37 is powered by a 3.7-liter V6 that produces 330 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque. A seven-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive are standard. The G37x gets all-wheel drive and the G37 Sport features a six-speed manual transmission.

In Edmunds performance testing, a G37 Sport coupe went from zero to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds — swift, but the BMW 335i is even quicker. EPA-estimated fuel economy with rear-drive and the automatic is 19 mpg city/27 mpg highway and 22 mpg combined. It’s 17/25/19 with the G37 Sport and 18/25/20 with the G37x.

The 2012 Infiniti G37 comes standard with stability control, traction control, front-seat side airbags, full-length side curtain airbags and active front head restraints. The optional Technology package adds pre-crash seatbelts that use the adaptive cruise control sensors to detect an impending impact and then automatically pre-load belt tension.

2012 Infiniti G Coupe IPL review

In Edmunds brake testing, a G37 Sport came to a stop from 60 mph in an excellent 110 feet. Expect slightly longer distances with the all-season tires found on other models.

The G Coupe offers user-friendly controls, excellent build quality and a handsome design — the latter highlighted by such items as the car’s available leather-accented magnesium paddle shifters and the Japanese “Shodo” aluminum trim (or optional wood trim). The optional Bose audio system is excellent.

The front seats are comfortable and well-bolstered, while the available sport-styled seats offer even more aggressive bolstering (though they may be a bit too snug for larger drivers). As expected, the backseats are rather cramped and best suited for little kids or cargo. The trunk measures a modest 7.4 cubic feet but the rear seatbacks fold down if more space is needed. The trunks in the Audi A5 and BMW 3 Series are significantly larger.
