The EX Concept also showcases two innovative systems that are expected to be the first production versions in the world when the new Infiniti EX goes on sale in North America in late 2007: Around View Monitor (AVM) and Lane Departure Prevention (LDP). The AVM system utilises front, side and rear-mounted cameras to help reduce the blind spots when parking, while the LDP system takes Infiniti’s currently available Lane Departure Warning System into a new dimension of safety by actively using the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system to help assist the driver in maintaining lane position if the vehicle inadvertently starts to drift out of the lane. Like every Infiniti model, the EX Concept also emphasises exhilarating driving performance, combining V6 power, a 5-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. Highlights of the Infiniti EX Concept include: Body A fusion of coupe and sport utility vehicle, designed for personal use with an emphasis on user friendliness and ease of driving operation Unique liquid crystal glass roof panel that can change from transparent to translucent Infiniti signature double-arch grille and dynamic arch profile Infiniti signature L-shaped headlights with Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS), integrated fog lights Thin, elegant LED taillights All-in-one sash-style side door mirrors with integrated LED turn signals Electric outside door handles with push switches High-mounted rear hatchback spoiler Engine, Driveline and Platform V6 engine, 5-speed automatic transmission Infiniti FM platform, front-engine/all-wheel drive 4-wheel independent multi-link suspension 4-wheel power-assisted vented disc brakes with 4-wheel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) with Preview Braking 19-inch 7-spoke aluminium-alloy wheels with 245/55R19 tyres Interior Features Driver-oriented, leather-appointed interior with luxurious passenger space Liquid crystal glass sunroof with touch sensor system control Infiniti signature “double-wave” instrument panel and Infiniti-signature analogue clock High contrast instrumentation with aluminium-alloy bezel surround Electric soft-touch shifter system, designed for an artistic, jewel-like appearance Aluminium-alloy door-side finishers and speaker finish Oversize front and rear seat headrests with indirect lighting Special ambient mood lighting throughout the cabin Large-sized, high-touch leather-appointed centre console Aluminium-alloy rear cargo area finisher with integrated luggage rails Innovative AVM system with front, side and rear-mounted cameras to help reduce the blind spots when parking Safety Innovative LDP system, using a small camera mounted behind the windscreen and an advanced microprocessing unit, utilises the VDC system to help assist the driver in maintaining lane position if the vehicle inadvertently starts to drift out of the lane |
