2004 Infiniti G35 Sedan At a Glance

The 2004 G35 Sport Sedan expresses Infiniti’s bold direction of combining leading-edge design and technology, driver-oriented performance and a long list of luxury amenities. The major enhancement for the new model year is the addition, beginning in early December 2003, of the G35 Sedan Leather AWD model. It features an advanced all-wheel drive system with an active torque distribution management system with an electro-magnetic clutch. The advantage of this system’s design is smooth starts and better traction and maneuverability on snowy roads and minimal compromise of rear-wheel drive performance characteristics on dry roads. Torque distribution front-to-rear is computer controlled and is variable between 0:100 and 50:50 front:rear. A “Snow-Mode” switch allows the system to achieve a torque distribution ratio of 50:50 at low speeds.

Other changes for 2004 include standard heated outside mirrors, 17-inch wheels on all models, a Tire Pressure Monitor System, standard rear viscous limited-slip differential on the Leather 6MT model and the availability of two new exterior colors – Diamond Graphite and Twilight Blue.

All 2004 Infiniti G35 Sport Sedans, including the new all-wheel drive version, come standard with a 260-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 engine, part of the award-winning VQ engine series, and 4-wheel independent multi-link suspension. A 5-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode is standard on the Infiniti G35

Sedan, Sedan Leather and Sedan Leather AWD models, while the Sedan Leather 6MT model features a close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission. Highlights of the 2004 Infiniti G35 Sport Sedan include:
