The EX reinvented SUVs compactly dynamic look Its advanced chassis reinvigorated how they drive value reinvented the basic equipment recalibrated and Infiniti Total Ownership Experience all facets of life with a premium quality car the most demanding owners Now, with the addition of a new diesel engine acclaimed, offering more torque, or pulling power, than any existing rival, the EX redefines the opportunity in the class of compact SUVs.
The Infiniti EX30d joins according to the country of EX37 V6 petrol models in the summer of 2010 in the Infiniti Centers in Europe Inspired sports coupe-SUV is the second Infiniti to be powered by diesel It inherits exactly the same 3 0 liters piezo injection V6 engine has been available in its big brother, the FX30d since June 2010 in the form used in the EX and FX crossovers, diesel V9X Alliance V6 is very much a bespoke Infiniti unit has been developed Infiniti to deliver more kilometers and lower carbon emissions than the V6 essence of the brand while enhancing the high performance and refinement in the heart of the luxury Infiniti philosophy.

The GT Premium range of safety systems and high-tech convenience series includes Lane Departure Prevention LDP, a sport-utility vehicle first made its European debut in FX30d where other brands provide simple starting warnings the way, Infiniti LDP intervenes gently to guide the car back into the right track if its warnings aren t heard.
As with the FX, LDP is available only on the EX pack and within the framework of the standard technology for integrated diesel engine to the GT Premium, expected to be the biggest selling model range is estimated that the diesel model will represent eight 10 EX sales in Europe.
EX in Europe - the story so far EX30d Infiniti is the focus of the second phase of quiet assault on the European market Infiniti luxury cars and the key to the Japanese luxury brand's growth plans a phase, which began with the European launch of Infiniti in Paris in 2008, saw the introduction of the petrol engine range and building the brand and its unique dealerships in July 2010, there were 35 open Infiniti centers across 16 European countries, all closer to Bespoke hotels that car retailers for their contemporary look and luxury feel.

Well over half of European EX buyers did not have an SUV before, and those that have a significant proportion have been reducing the size of the larger models, confirming the attractiveness not only a sporty design EX but also its dimensions in BMW, the EX height is midway between the existing X3 and 3-series Coupe, while, especially for a compact SUV, width is consistent with the cup.
Owners in Europe classify the EX37 main strengths as design, interior, engine flexibility and standard equipment - the vast majority of EXs sold have had features such as Connectiviti HDD navigation, intelligent cruise control Around View Monitor.
The market for compact SUVs in Europe Despite the recession and the collapse in car sales, 2009 was a great year for the SUV-C segment sales in Europe increased from about 100 000 per year to more than 175,000 what was historically a niche largely dominated by the single market model suddenly gained a host of new premium-class candidates in 2009, the BMW X3 was joined by the Audi Q5, Mercedes-Benz GLK and Volvo XC60 - and of course the Infiniti EX37.
Infiniti coupe crossover mold immediately break an impact for its stand-out style and high performance As a petrol model, however, it was always destined to remain a rare sight in a market dominated by diesels .
V6 diesel engine develops potential net sales EX nearly six times, the Infiniti EX30d become a direct competitor of the total segment 34 diesel SUV-C.
The most important markets in Europe for compact SUVs are Germany, Italy and the UK Infiniti forecasts that following the arrival of the Infiniti EX30d and other new competitors, sales of the SUV-C sector increase from 2012.
first diesel engine When it was decided to launch Infiniti in Europe a diesel engine was deemed compulsory, but it had to be an engine that built on the fundamental values of Infiniti and made no compromise on driving pleasure Over Infiniti V9X the study phase, after looking at other options, the Alliance decided to develop its own, the V9X, a common rail V6 3 0 liters with piezo injectors and high fuel pressure 1800 bar .
From day one, Infiniti has been at the heart of the development of this engine and literally its driver, including making key decision of casting compacted graphite iron CGI block to improve the essential attributes brand lightness and refinement more typically associated with a petrol engine.
The V6 is very much a bespoke Infiniti powerhouse Although V9X is flexible enough to suit a range of models Alliance front- or four or as driving the rear wheel, to meet the requirements of Infiniti V6 has significant changes unique components include cylinder block, crankshaft, an intake manifold, fuel injection system, exhaust gas recirculation, turbocharger, and a catalyst collector housing V6 examines also quite different from any other application V9X Alliance.
For the benefit of the effectiveness of the package, the balance of the crankshaft and the reliability, the V6 has an angle of 65 degrees, with the turbo mounted within the vee heads are made of aluminum while the synthesis block provides a great resistance with CGI light is up to 75 rigid as iron, but in the case of the engine block of the Infiniti EX30d, weighs 22 less.
The inherent rigidity engine is an important factor to enable the refinement criteria exacting Infiniti EX30d to meet without resorting to adding extra weight engineering, such as ribbing or balance shafts Infiniti EX30d engine is naturally smooth and impressively quiet at idle and under constant load, while the noise does not emit under hard acceleration is sporting V6.
A turbocharger variable nozzle increases the power of 175 kilowatts 238 hp at 3750 rpm, making it among the most powerful single-turbo diesel units available The torque output V6 of 550 Nm, which peaks at just 1750rpm, beats that competing models.

The EX is a coupé crossover and benefits from aerodynamics far closer to those of a low and sleek coupé than a boxy SUV Its roofline much lower than its competitors has not only accentuate its low center of gravity , boosting visual dynamism, but also contributes to a drag coefficient of only 0 33.
The body will be good for years to come thanks to the paint Scratch Shield Infiniti This unique technology Infiniti ensures the glossy finish of the body remains unblemished thanks to an elastic resin in the upper layer that fills light scratches when exposed to the heat of an Infiniti with scratch -Shield exposures up to five times fewer scratches than conventional varnishes when exposed to the same conditions.

The very considerable time all the traction benefits paths of a four wheel drive layout are intelligent hand in hand in the EX with a pronounced sporty slope handling this thanks to bias the rear wheel drive system four wheel tip wheel, Infiniti ATTESA E-TS Advanced Total traction engineering system for all electronic torque split.
The brain of the system works continuously to find the distribution of the ideal couple, working with a center clutch to maximize traction on slippery surfaces without compromising the rear-wheel drive EX feel on dry roads The system even allows a oversteer element for a more sporty driving.
torque distribution varies from 100 back 50 through 50 before back decomposed ensuring that only the wheels with most grip get most power is a sophisticated Electronic Stability Program ESP The result is a dynamic disk drive and capable all-wheel drive wheel on snow, sand or mud.
Braking is provided by vented disc brakes four-wheel drive when the steering system is a type of speed sensing vehicle that provides optimum steering effort at both high and low vehicle speeds.
