2002 Infiniti
I30 Review
New engine, new interior, new styling. And new name.
2002 Infiniti I30 Base Price (MSRP) $28,750
As Tested (MSRP) $33,255
Out with the Infiniti I30, in with the I35. Major upgrades to Infiniti's mid-level sedan make this year's I35 more attractive than last year's I30. That's impressive given that last year's I30 boasted exceptional handling, a smooth ride, and lots of performance.
A new 3.5-liter V6 engine replaces last year's 3.0-liter engine and that led Infiniti to change the name from I30 to I35. Bigger and more powerful, this new engine is one of the best V6s available from anyone.
This year's changes to the I35 go well beyond a simple engine swap. Also new for 2002: fresh styling, a redesigned interior, a refined suspension, improved brakes, and the availability of an electronic stability program designed to keep drivers in control.
What hasn't changed is the combination of sports appeal and luxurious accommodations this near-luxury sedan offers. The Infiniti I35 is sportier and provides a more entertaining driving experience than the Lexus ES 300. It is roomier than the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan, the new Jaguar X-Type, or the BMW 3 Series sedans.
2002
Infiniti Q45 Review
all new styling, powerful V8, and the latest technology.
2002 Infiniti Q45 Base Price (MSRP) $50,500
As Tested (MSRP) $58,500
Infiniti has completely redesigned its flagship luxury sedan, the Q45. With this latest generation, Nissan's luxury division aims to strengthen the identity of the Q. According to Infiniti, the new Q "represents a total revision and rethinking of the flagship performance luxury sedan." No small thing.
2002
Infiniti QX4 Review
Luxury trappings with lots of horsepower.
2002 Infiniti QX4 Base Price (MSRP) $34,150
As Tested (MSRP) $40,595
Infiniti's QX4 is more than a gussied up Nissan Pathfinder.
A year ago, the QX4 underwent aggressive exterior styling changes, got a new and more powerful engine and additional equipment that absolutely transformed this vehicle into a true luxury sport-utility.
For 2002 the QX4 continues to improve with new interior enhancements and available options.
