The biggest news for Infiniti (http://autoblog.com/make/infiniti)'s 2011 model year lineup may be the all-new M sedan (http://autoblog.com/model/m), QX56 SUV (http://autoblog.com/model/qx56), G25 sedan (http://www.autoblog.com/model/g37) and IPL G coupe (http://www.autoblog.com/model/g37+coupe), but that doesn't mean the rest of the automaker's portfolio sails into the new year unchanged. The smaller EX crossover/wagon thingie (http://autoblog.com/model/ex), for example, gets a host of new updates including a seven-speed automatic transmission, larger wheel choices and more standard technology.
Curiously, Infiniti is still offering the EX with its smaller 3.5-liter V6, even though the majority of its products now use the more powerful 3.7-liter mill. Still, with 297 horsepower on tap, the EX35 should continue to be a surprisingly engaging steer, and with a new seven-speed gearbox in place, fuel efficiency should be improved for 2011, especially in the all-wheel drive models.
From there, all EX models now come standard with 18-inch wheels (a 19-inch set is available with the Deluxe Touring Package), dual-zone automatic climate control and new exterior paint options including Arctic Blue (pictured). Other changes for 2011 include Active Blind Spot Warming being added to the EX's technology package and a revised premium package that encompasses both the upgraded Bose audio system and around-view camera system.
The 2011 EX is making its way to dealerships as you read this, priced from $34,150 (*excluding destination fees). A top-end EX35 Journey AWD will set you back $37,750, drastically undercutting the price of BMW (http://autoblog.com/make/bmw)'s new (and admittedly larger) X3 xDrive35i (http://autoblog.com/model/x3) that we recently tested (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/10/19/2011-bmw-x3-first-drive-review/). Follow the jump (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/10/20/2011-infiniti-ex-gets-numerous-updates-starts-at-34-150/) for the full list of 2011 EX changes in Infiniti's press release.
