The EX37 comes standard with a bag of goodies including the I-key smart access system.  Once the vehicle detects the I-key within its proximity range, the doors can be unlocked and the ignition can be started without ever having to pull out the keys from your pocket.  Other standard features include privacy glass, a six-disc, seven speaker CD audio system, Bluetooth mobile phone connectivity, cruise control, power seats, auto-dimming rear view mirror, front and rear parking sensors, automatic lights and wipers, 18-inch alloy wheels, six airbags (featuring thorax and pelvis protection) and integrated fog lamps. The leather trimmed steering wheel incorporates controls for the audio system, cruise control and telephone.

The Bose audio entertainment system is one of the sweetest features worth mentioning.  The system is specifically designed and installed to complement the interior cabin space of the EX37 in order to produce the overall sound experience to mimic a live concert.

Another feature unique to Infiniti’s lineup is its panoramic camera system.  The system consists of small cameras integrated into the front, sides and rear vehicle chassis panels, allowing a bird’s eye-view to be displayed of the on the 7″ infotainment screen.  This feature makes parking hassle free as you can see exactly how close your wheels are to the curb as well as real-time surrounding obstacles.
