The Infiniti G37 will live on for 2015, but it will be renamed the Q40 for its final model year. The luxury sedan itself soldiers on, largely unchanged.
When Infiniti famously changed their entire model line to the letter-Q-plus-number format for 2014, the G37 was the sole survivor from the old naming regime. Though the sedan, technically a rebadged Nissan Skyline, was succeeded by an all-new Skyline called the Infiniti Q50 stateside, Infiniti decided to keep the G37 around as a lower-cost alternative for lessees.
The all-wheel-drive G37x sticks around too, and will be known as the Q40 AWD. Only two checkboxes will be offered, a Navigation Plus Package and a Moonroof Package. The G37′s current slate of four exterior colors — black, white, silver and gray — carry over, as does its 328hp, 3.7-liter V6 with 7-speed automatic transmission. During the Q-ification of the lineup, the G37 Coupe became the Q60, which still enjoys a full buffet of colors and options.
Though pricing has yet to be announced, the G37′s staring price of $32,950 is considerably less than the Q50′s $37,150 and the Q60′s $40,950. The 2015 Infiniti Q40 goes on sale in August, though it’s unknown whether the Q40 nameplate will continue beyond 2015.
