Infiniti EX35 Gets Renamed Nissan Skyline Crossover For Japan

Nissan will be releasing the Infiniti EX35 crossover in Japan bearing the name Nissan Skyline Crossover. The name comes from the CUV's relationship with Infiniti G sedan, coupe, and recently-launched convertible, which are known in Japan as the Nissan Skyline.

The Skyline Crossover shares its powertrain with the European-market EX and will be powered by a 3.7L V-6 mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission. In European trim, this engine puts out 320 hp and 266 lb-ft of torque. No word yet on when the U.S.-market EX, which is powered by a 297-hp, 253-lb-ft 3.5L V-6 mated to a five-speed automatic, will get the new powertrain.

The Skyline Crossover goes on sale Japan this summer.
