2012 Infiniti G37 vs. 2012 Lexus IS 350 Review

Comparison Review


Comfort
Due to its greater rear head- and legroom, backseat passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Infiniti G37 than the Lexus IS 350. The Infiniti G37 will be a favorite with taller drivers due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Lexus IS 350.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Infiniti G37 as you will with the Lexus IS 350, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Whether you pick the Infiniti G37 or the Lexus IS 350, it's going to cost you about the same. Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Infiniti G37 and the Lexus IS 350 have similar Destination Charges.

Dimensions
The Infiniti G37 is a little narrower than the Lexus IS 350, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Infiniti G37, which is slightly longer than the Lexus IS 350.

Drivetrain
With similar torque, the Infiniti G37 and the Lexus IS 350 do an equal job of transmitting their engine's power to their wheels.

Handling
The Infiniti G37 has a larger turning radius than the Lexus IS 350, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Infiniti G37 is somewhat more powerful than the Lexus IS 350.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Infiniti G37 and the Lexus IS 350. You'll be able to fit about the same amount of groceries into the Infiniti G37 as you will in the Lexus IS 350.

Warranty
The basic warranty for the Infiniti G37 offers a little more coverage than the basic warranty of the Lexus IS 350 in terms of months/miles.
