The 2010 Infiniti EX35 is among the best-looking compact luxury crossover vehicles, according to experts at TheCarConnection.com and other respected Web auto reviewers.
With styling cues on loan from the larger FX crossover and other Infiniti models, the 2010 EX35 has a handsome, sporting stance that just barely looks like a utility vehicle. Cars.com notes the "sporty and stylish" appearance borrows details from other Infiniti vehicles, remarking the "rear end recalls Infiniti's larger FX model, for better and for worse." The EX's tall roofline is tamed with subtle sculptural surfaces on the body, and few cutlines and few unneeded details give the EX an especially clean look for its class. Motor Trend admires the EX35's "arching, coupe-like roofline, a double-arch grille, L-shaped headlamps, and aggressive proportions." Big wheel wells and widely flared fenders taper into an arching roofline, all blending together to give the EX more of a four-door coupe look-more Panamera than Explorer.
The cabin is just as sophisticated, with a more technology-friendly look as with the Acura RDX. Edmunds describes it as "distinctive," and says the EX35's dash "flows around the driver in soft waves." Cars.com notes "the interior is appointed like other Infiniti models, which is to say nicely, with modern, high-quality materials and design." The cockpit-style layout wraps into a wide center stack a big LCD screen and secondary controls. The instruments look elegant and refined in soft-white lighting, and the wood and leather wear matte finishes. A noticeable lack of metallic trim echoes the subtle, tasteful design, without the excessive detailing that plagues some other vehicles in this class. And if it seems a bit austere, optional maple interior trim "spruces up the cabin," according to Motor Trend.
Conclusion
The 2010 Infiniti EX35 is a good-looking vehicle-and it feels fresh, modern, and ultimately luxurious.
