| Side crash test ratings can be compared across vehicle categories. |
The Infiniti EX35 was introduced in the 2008 model year and renamed the EX37in the 2013 model year because the engine size was increased.
Two tests of 2008 EX35 models were conducted. The injury ratings for the driver are based on just the second test; measures for the driver in the first test were not obtained because of equipment failure. The injury ratings for the rear passenger and the head protection ratings for both the driver and passenger are based on both tests. Structural ratings also are based on both tests.
Injury measures
Driver — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.
Passenger — Measures taken from the dummies in the two tests indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.
Head protection
Driver — In both tests, the dummy's head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side curtain airbag that deployed from the roof.
Passenger — In both tests, the dummy's head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side curtain airbag that deployed from the roof.
