Overview & Reviews

For 2005, Infiniti's flagship sedan receives updated exterior styling with new front and rear fascias, a new hood, headlights with integrated foglamps, a new trunk deck lid, LED taillights and fine-line chrome trim. Instead of offering Luxury and Premium models this year, Infiniti will sell a base Q45 (with all the Luxury equipment) with an optional Premium Package. Inside, the Q45 features new "sport contour," double-stitched seats and a new instrument cluster, along with a metal-trimmed shifter bezel, metal knobs and dark maple wood and chrome accents. The transmission has been recalibrated for better response, and the performance-tuned active dampening suspension, previously available only at the Premium level, is now standard on all models. Base models get a new 17-inch alloy wheel design this year. Other enhancements include standard rain- and speed-sensing wipers, a revised DVD-based navigation system (also standard), and new brake-operated "pre-crash" front seatbelts, which tighten under emergency braking.

• Elegant and spacious interior, long list of standard luxury features, strong V8, excellent value.

• Unnecessarily complex interior controls, small trunk capacity, not as athletic as some competitors.

  Exceptional Car, Poor Selling Policies - 2005 Infiniti Q45
  By HRM - August 30 - 4:06 am

  Having driven luxury cars for the past 12 years, I was pleased to purchase the Q45. It is everything that I thought it would be and more. The only disappointment is the lack of an "Onstar" like commmunications device like similar cars. My biggest disappointment is the lack of advertising committed to the Infiniti line. Mercedes, Lexus and Acura devote more time and monies to advertising their luxury cars, which in my opinion do not even come close to the value for dollar of the Q45
