Interior

There’s so much to say about the G37’s luxurious and comfortable interior. With the Sport Package, my test car had a 12-way adjustable driver’s seat. The front seats were heated — of course! What can only be described as premium leather covered all the seats, and the front seats had the added flavor of embroidered Infiniti logos. Throughout the sweeping cabin, thoughtful details could be spotted, including a touch of chrome on the windshield-wiper wand, ergonomic navigation system controls and aluminum pedals (part of the Sport Package). My eyes delighted in all the fanciful finds.

My kids and I loved blasting the upgraded Bose “Studio on Wheels” audio system, with its 11 speakers, in-dash six-disc CD player and iPod connectivity. The Infiniti’s push-button ignition and signature analog clock continued this car’s class act.

The backseat only seats two, and it has a hard plastic open cubby between the two seats. In the second row, it was obvious the seating wasn’t designed to accommodate child-safety and booster seats with backs; the rear seats were slightly sunken, with bolsters on the sides of each seat. It also would be difficult to fit rear-facing infant-safety seats in the backseat; there’s just not a lot of room back there.

The second row’s seatback pockets and adjustable housings for the front passenger seat belts are well-executed. When climbing into the backseat of a two-door car, it’s easy to get tangled in the front passenger seat belt. In the Infiniti G37, you could simply push the seat belt housing out of the way, creating more space for you to get in. Nice! This system does become awkward for the front passenger who has to reach way back to grasp the seat belt and pull it forward for use.

In the cargo area, there’s enough space for a modest grocery trip or a few pieces of luggage for a weekend getaway, but bulk shopping and two-week family road trips should be saved for your larger family car.
