Infiniti M35x.

The Infiniti M sedan cautiously knocks on the door, entering the premium class. Sales are not breaking records yet, but the updated version should awaken buyer interest.

"Thick and beautiful" — these are the words, perhaps, that Ellochka Shchukina, dreaming of a social life, would use to describe the updated business sedan Infiniti M. Her meager vocabulary of thirty words would be quite enough to list all the model's innovations. However, what matters is not so much their number as the quality of execution, thanks to which the car has truly freshened up. Let's try to describe the car using the expressions of this laconic character from Ilf and Petrov. Ho-ho! This is about the new front end, where the kinship with the sports sedan G35 is clearly visible. The "M" has gained a bumper with an intricate air intake and a radiator grille with sharp transverse "blades," resembling a razor. The rear of the car received more careful attention from designers. The taillights have become more compact, the shapes of the fenders and trunk lid have changed, and the bumper has gained a semblance of a diffuser. Creepy! Thanks to all these touches, the Infiniti M visually shed a couple of extra kilograms from its massive stern, acquiring less strict but more dynamic contours. The hint of sportiness is reinforced by more elegant alloy wheels. There was no point in touching the ergonomic and expensive interior of the predecessor, so the cabin of the new model has hardly changed. But some pleasant little things have been added. The instrument panel, for example, is now softly illuminated with luminescent light, which simplifies data reading. Beeeauty! A real source of pride was the appearance of a DVD-based navigation system with Bluetooth support, created for Infiniti by Navteq (Don't teach me how to live!). The route is displayed on a 7-inch touchscreen on the central panel, which also receives the image from the rear-view camera. The list of additional options has also expanded: for a certain surcharge on the base price, adaptive headlights, a tire pressure monitoring system, a DVD for rear passengers, and a Bose Hi-Fi audio system with 14 speakers are available. Famous! The technical part of the restyled Infiniti M remains unchanged. But the car has noticeably become more expensive: the popular M35x version has added 40 thousand rubles to its price. And that's without navigation. Well, that's a whoa! Driving
The dynamics and handling of the car deserve the kindest words. Interior
