Infiniti EX 4x4 3.7 V6 37 GT 5dr Review

For For £1300 more than the standard model, the GT adds leather upholstery, powered and heated front seats and an electrically adjustable steering column. It shares the same engine, transmission and excellent drive.

Against Even with the GT pack, it’s good value to buy, but it will be costly to run, especially as the residuals on big 4x4s are pretty weak. The biggest problem is the lack of space in the back and boot.

The way it drives and what you get for your money mean this EX is one of the best in class. We think the GT pack is well priced, but any EX buyer should prepare for big bills.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

Given how few models the company sells, there's little doubt that the Infiniti EX will have a real air of exclusivity to it. Mind you, that’s also because the car has some serious shortcomings – and none more so than how much it will cost to buy and run.

The petrol engine's high fuel consumption and emissions mean that you'll end up paying a lot to keep it on the road whether you're a private or a company buyer; and, even if you choose the diesel engine, you’ll sit in the top band for company car tax and struggle to get as much as 30mpg in everyday use.

To cap it all, given that Infiniti is a relatively unknown brand and the EX is a large 4x4, the car's residual values are weak, which means that whole-life running costs and contract hire rates are high.
