The 2005 Infiniti G35 is from the car's first generation, renowned for blending luxury with performance. It's available in both sedan and coupe configurations. The sedan version comes in one trim level, while the coupe is offered in basic coupe and coupe 6MT trims. The G35 is powered by a 3.5L V6 engine delivering 280 hp (298 hp for the G35 Coupe 6MT) mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode. Although AWD is an option for the sedan, all coupes are rear-wheel drive. Key safety features for this model year include dual-stage front airbags and front-seat side-impact airbags. The car also offers a well-equipped infotainment system, featuring a standard 7-inch screen, radio data system and optional satellite radio. The most significant change in this model year was the addition of standard 18-inch wheels and Brembo brakes for the coupe 6MT.
