Roadfly.com - 2010 Infiniti EX35 SUV Road Test & Review

RoadflyTV took a second look at Infiniti's small SUV the EX35. Jessi Lang spent a week driving the nimble sport utility vehicle and had a chance to test and review the crossover. The Infiniti EX35 compares favorably to other SUVs in the small mid-size SUV segment. The 3.5 liter V6 offers plenty of power.

This car is not a competitor to the Q5, or MDX that the reviewer insists on comparing to. It's for people who don't need to carry stuff and who want lux and style. The bonus is the 300HP and 250 of torque. This car walks all over the Q5 and MDX in performance. And for the occasional run to costco or home depot you put the seats down (with a switch). I just bought a CPO 2012 with 19 wheels, 7sp auto, Xenons, Nav, Camera's and Heated Leather for half the price of a new one and have a full factory warranty. Nothing came close in terms of value and we looked at the 2015 Golf's, Lexus' NSX and CT Hybrid hatch. This was a no brainer if you need a hatch and don't have kids.

I have the Infiniti EX35 and the steering and handling are great, it is a pretty fast car that can get going. It's like the "wolverine" of the road, small, but bad ass with a lot of attitude. What I don't care for is the lack of available space in the seating and storage compartments. Yes, the back seats fold down, but...and that backseat is only enough room for small children, hobbits and short people who are 5'4 or shorter. I don't recommend this car for taller or big people. I'm 6'4 and my driver seat is as far back as it can go. But I'm the only one who is ever in my car, with an occasional friend or two. Everyone who rides in it loves how nice it is and compliments the car when they get in it, repeatedly in fact. As if they are surprised that it would be that nice, from looking at it on the outside. But I've only had two people acknowledge how small the interior feels. It is a very intimate interior. It's my "wolverine"; Small, powerful, bad ass.

Have had a 2008 EX Journey and it's beautiful.

[@Mattb57]

Jessi gives such a well rounded review and it's nice how when she tests suvs she doesn't complain about the mpg like the other reviewers who cannot get off the topic of only 17 mpg. i mean come on if you're buying a suv you should know that they aren't made to get good mpg like a stupid prius

[@ivandenike9914]

Nice headlights,nice rear.

[@soccersprint]

I dont have an EX35 but I do have a G37....and I love it....all I need now is a Jessi..!!!!

[@singleblankscreen]

Dang Girl! You look great in that Infiniti! Nice job on the review too!!!

[@Johncarson9113]

Hey Jessi, how do you guys determine the base price of the EX35? I thought it had a base price of $33,800 for the basic EX35? Is that price you have listed reffering to the MSRP of the basic Journey package for the test car your drove? I was under the impression the basic EX35 started lower then the Audi Q5 at $35,200 and the Mercedes GLK at $35,000?

[@kevinduku7422]

I think shes good

[@gooseberry769]

The even don't have a power lift gate in this luxury car. When it 60f outside and you try to open the lift gate, you have to fully pull it up. That's because the cold air under those plungers or whatever doesn't help you. But when the weather is warm the lift gate works well. That's something you won't in any fancy review.

[@rallimb486]

it’s a really fun car to drive, especially in sport

[@paynestancil4698]

Does she come with the car?

[@mlps93]

@madridy4life but the Q5 comes with a V4 as the base :|

[@gooseberry769]

I have a 2010 Infiniti journey fully loaded, my wife a 2010 Lexus rx350 fully equipped and rx doesn't have any of the drawbacks I just mentioned.

[@ch1kusoo]

There was a car in this video?

[@nabasdak]

doesn't the driver seat come up.. how does she see the road with her eyes almost level with the steering wheel...

[@autoanorak]

what was she saying about the car again?

[@ExiledExia]

omg Jessi I love you so much it gives me energy! 0.o

[@Beatle1107]

@Sornrasug I agree with you. I'm 5'6," and in my driving position, I STILL feel cramped in that thing. I'd go with the FX35 or maybe the FX50. ;)

[@chili_boi2537]

My dad has one and he might give it to me when I'm old enough to drive.

[@notthehulk442]

good video

[@Illmatic662]

Its really odd I checked the fuel economy and its 17/24 NOT 16/23....16/23 is for the AWD model.

[@zzgordoxzzgaming4718]

It's not a SUV it's a luxury hatchback

[@mlps93]

do one for the 2012 model

[@mrporsche4236]

No guy is watching this video for the car.Even though its a great car.She is super hot and every guy knows it

[@VelocityCCX]

I like the RDX Turbo, I think its a better deal, it also look better, more expensive then the EX but the EX has the surround camera feature that kills the RDX

[@msanchezym]

@jessilang2008 Oh, judging by the roads in the background I thought it was more like Seattle ish... Great review as allways! Cheers!

[@apexi957]

@Johncarson9113 Ehhh, rear passenger space is an issue with most of the Infiniti line up. Even my 07 G sedan back seats don't fit big people that well

[@troypwr]

Mine is still on the road and still doing well. Don't consider this car an SUV. It's more of a hatchback sports sedan. It has plenty of power and enough room for basics. If you need more room this car isn't for you. It really is a nice car but understand that she was right from the beginning. It has room for your golf clubs and if you fold the rear seats down, a bit more but not if you have a bunch of stuff everyday. You'll love the power though. It picks up and moves.

[@Johncarson9113]

@apexi957 There is another one of these coming out, even smaller and more compact lol. I like the Infiniti EX35 but space is crucial in that car, rumors are a 2012 Infiniti DX crossover is due to debut soon. I can even imagine how rear passengers will be able to sit.

[@AlternativeUses]

the problem w/ the ex is that the back seat and the trunk is a joke. why buy a cramped crossover with less room than a sedan?

[@venom5809]

My neighbor's wife just one of these. Nice little vehicle.

[@AtCatherby]

Looks like you sit really low in the car. I hate that because it cuts bumper visibility and you feel like you don't have as much control compared to a higher seat.

[@msanchezym]

Why does she frequent cramped parking garages?

[@zeeman707]

i luv dis car!!!!!

[@gooseberry769]

Sorry. They advertise EX as a family car too. There was no way I could've predicted the issue upon buying the car. Unless I brought a baby seat and booster seat to the dealership.

[@WyvernSone]

I really like the way this car looks but the intirior is cramped for anyone larger than 5'7 it almost feals smaller than the g35 sedan.

[@gooseberry769]

When you install a baby seat in the middle or on any side even a 5'7" person can not get in the front seat without pushing against the dashboard with their knees. And they advertise it a a family care too. There was k

[@gooseberry769]

Ex has is not as responsive as it could've been. Even in the DS mode it makes a pause before you order it to accelerate. The are ventilated rotors in the front and plain in the back? What's wrong? They installed vented rotors everywhere on fx. No automated rollback function on the rear windows. This is where actually you need it for your kids. But only the front windows have this function. Ithen if you use the automatic rollback function on your driver's seat upon getting off the vehicle, and y

[@Dankcatvacs]

@chrisw40 damn straight i got 2wd,4wd hi,and 4wd low 25+ miles per gallon 202k miles was only $300

[@ojdavies147]

Oh jesse lang, it's not that your bad at giving car reviews your very good. However when testing cars like the unbelievably mundane infinity EX35 you tend to eclipse the car somewhat, not a problem jeremy clarkson would have.

[@bkvintagecorp]

Jesse loves her bootcut jeans lol

[@Johncarson9113]

@apexi957 Really?? I have the 09 G37 sedan, I actually think it has more then sufficient space for rear passengers, especially when you compare the G sedan to its competitors. I use to drive the 07 BMW 328i sedan before I traded it in for the G37, so I guess thats why I see the difference alot more, when compared to the space of the 3 series the G sedan feels like an "SUV". So far im real content with Infiniti, Ive been a loyal customer but I like to cross shop sometimes. Its a great car.

[@apexi957]

@Johncarson9113 I mean it's not as bad as i make it to. My friends can fit there, they're all generally 5,8 or 5,9 +. The cars in the same class generally have better back seat space then Infiniti's even FX's have smaller space compared to other cars. However my G has A LOT more space then my mom's 09 Audi A4

[@Kidcar16]

intro should be, "the hottest car reviews"

[@R8Prototype]

did she just call it a "sports sedan"

[@gunners0077]

Looks better than a Q5/X3

[@Sornrasug]

i love this car but its too small for me needs... :(

[@BeauS204]

@mokos23 i dont really care, id choose Subaru over anything. i dont care for xenon headlights, or some fancy features. just a personal preference

[@yzoooon]

Its better than the q5.

[@GallardoSpyderV10]

@gooseberry769 you just became my new best friend. Please tell me more about this horrible car. I've been looking for a real review on this car cause for me the ex is for people who need a car. No fun or soul just something to drive. You answered my prayers :-)

[@yonisahmed7353]

nice car you nice 2😊

[@TimekeeperNY]

Clicked on this video because of the thumbnail and skipped to the parts of her

[@kriss1313]

cute girl in a nice car.. awesomeness :)

[@marquettecosten8781]

she's goood..

[@gooseberry769]

Tried two Infiniti dealerships in San Diego and both suck.

[@tom11zz884]

@madridy4life Audi Q5 is way overpriced for what it is, plus it has shitty ass reliablity compared to the Infiniti :) So the Infiniti is a bargain compared to it.

[@LoveTheCity123]

@mokos23 No, I'm not going to get the EX35. I would rather know that I am much safer in a Volvo, regardless of price. Besides, I personally believe the EX35's are ugly anyways. I think I am just going to go to the Volvo dealer tomorrow and look at a XC60 ...

[@Sitti2300]

If you are thinking about buying EX, don't!! Spend a little more and buy FX35.

[@madridy4life]

In comparison to an Audi Q5, I doubt this car stands a chance.

[@markus7n]

Small ass interior eff that. A mini cooper has more back leg room

[@gooseberry769]

The roof rails are not removable.

[@ExiledExia]

@ch1kusoo hahaha xD

[@datboiwes333]

I like the features of this vehicle but the exterior styling is ugly like fuck. But it's weird how the front looks like a G35, one of my favorite cars; that's fucked up yo

[@gooseberry769]

Should've gone with rx too.

[@jwatwater]

@msanchezym mysterious drug deals, duh

[@BeauS204]

i'd take Forester over that

[@Dankcatvacs]

this is crap my 86 subaru has twice the space!!

[@LoveTheCity123]

I'd rather get a Volvo XC60 ..

[@dukviper90]

hottie! Perfect car for you.

[@MegaRami92]

i want that girl :)

[@jwatwater]

this car makes no sense... but i kinda like it.

[@kimosabi860]

Jessi Yes! Infiniti No.

[@Xavier-nl6ts]

She sounds like she's reading a script.

[@apexi957]

Probably the ugliest Infiniti in the current line up

[@GallardoSpyderV10]

My loser of a friend has this car and brags about it so it's time for some dissing comment on bad things about this car.

[@daibadrumu]

Now that's an ugly car.

[@chili_boi2537]

Your Ford Pinto dose not look any better
