Overall Rating
Infiniti G:
The Infiniti G Line is a series of compact executive cars manufactured and marketed by Infiniti, a luxury division of Nissan, for the 1991–1996 and 1999–2016 model years — across four generations.

Beginning with its third generation , the Infiniti G have been rebadged versions of the Nissan Skyline line of sedans and coupes that were exported to the United States and Canada. The fourth generation introduced the hardtop coupe convertible.

20 Overview:
Infiniti G (20). With 185 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. It has moderate fuel consumption (~10.2 l/100km). With a weight of 1325 kg, it falls in the mid‑range. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 9.5 s). The top speed reaches 210 km/h. A four-door car with a separate trunk, ideal for families and daily commuting. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
The Infiniti G20 (P10) was produced before widespread Euro NCAP testing began in 1997, and as a primarily North American/Japanese market vehicle, it was not officially tested. Safety features for its time included ABS.
