Based on the acclaimed FM platform, the EX35 crossover SUV is closely related to the G35 sport sedan. With its tall profile, rear hatch and unique interior design, the EX35 appeals to a more practical customer who needs a luxury and utility in a compact package. A 3.5L V-6 mated to a 5-speed automatic drives the rear wheels, or can be ordered with AWD. Optional equipment includes laser cruise control, Bose audio system, a 360-degree view camera system, adaptive headlights, navigation system, power folding rear seats, and maple wood trim. Intended to compete with BMW X3, Acura RDX, and the Lexus RX350, the EX35 combines sport and luxury in equal measure.

The EX35 is a new G35 derived compact sport wagon intended to compete with the BMW X3. A 297-hp 3.5L V6 is the only available engine.
