Infiniti G25
With the economy being as unpredictable as ever, there has been a demand in luxury car circles for options that are a tad more economical in nature. Infiniti has answered the call, as the brand-new Infiniti G25 Sedan is slated to hit dealerships for the fall season.
The Infiniti line-up is set to expand this September with the introduction of the G25, a new entry-level sedan packing all the amenities of its bigger brother, but with less power and a budget-minded price tag.
By all outward appearances, the G25 is your standard G sedan with a new badge, but under the hood lies the same 2.5-liter V6 that’s been available in Japan since 2008. For an MSRP of $30,950, the G25 packs 218 horsepower and 187 pound-feet of torque channeled through a standard seven-speed automatic gearbox and – depending on the trim – can be had in either rear-wheel or all-wheel drive.
The standard G25, G25 Journey or G25x (AWD) come equipped with leather and power-adjustable seats, automatic climate control, six-speaker audio, 17-inch aluminum wheels, HID Xenon headlamps and the normal array of electronic options. An optional RearView monitor and dual-zone temperature control, along with heated front seats and outside mirrors, are available on the Journey.
The G25 sedan will be powered by a naturally aspirated 2.5L V6, which is an engine currently used in the JDM Skyline 250GT, instead of the 3.7L V6 that is installed in the current G line. Under the hood of the Skyline, which is Nissan’s G offering in Japan – this engine produces 210 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. This is close to what the experts project the G25’s engine to produce. Those numbers put it right in the middle of the lesser powered Lexus IS 250 and the BMW 328i, which has 230 horsepower. The initial plans for the G25 are that it will only be available as a sedan. However, if sales are strong enough the coupe and convertible could also eventually be offered with the 2.5L V6.
