Those interested in the 2008 Infiniti G37's safety record will be disappointed to learn that neither the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) nor the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) have crash-tested an Infiniti G37. However, the 2008 Infiniti G37 comes with a long list of standard safety features. For the even more safety-conscious, Infiniti offers a few optional safety touches as well on the Infiniti G37.
The standard safety features found on all Infiniti 2008 G37s are enough to draw serious praise in reviews read by TheCarConnection.com. Edmunds reviewers note "all 2008 Infiniti G37s come standard with stability control, traction control, front-seat side airbags," and "full-length curtain airbags." Cars.com adds that "active head restraints" and "four-wheel-disc antilock brakes" are also standard on this Infiniti 2008 G37.
On the optional side of the safety features list, Forbes Autos reports "a Preview Braking function is included with the optional laser-guided Intelligent Cruise Control that automatically pre-pressurizes the brake lines in anticipation of a panic stop." Edmunds says other safety features are available on the "optional Technology Package," which includes "adaptive headlights and front seatbelts that can better prepare for front occupant safety if a collision is anticipated."
Also helping the 2008 Infiniti G37 in the safety category is the impressive visibility enjoyed by the driver. Although Cars.com reviewers are quick to point out that the Infiniti G37 has a "low riding seating position," the generously sized windows help maintain good overall visibility. Edmunds adds that the optional "adaptive headlights" can swivel into a turn, further increasing night driving safety in this Infiniti 2008 coupe.
Conclusion
Despite the lack of crash-test ratings, the 2008 Infiniti G37 scores well due to its excellent safety features.
