|---|---|---|---|
| Japan | JN1, JNK | 2008-2013 |

G37 generations, and what changed
These boundaries are not copied from a brochure — they fall out of the measurements. Where the G37's length or wheelbase jumps between consecutive model years the platform changed: a facelift moves a bumper by centimetres, a new generation moves the whole car — for the G37 that gives 2 distinct generations below.
| Generation | Length | Wheelbase | Weight | vs previous | Weight change |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2010 | 475 cm | 285 cm | 1647 kg | - | - |
| 2011-2013 | 466 cm | 285 cm | 1699 kg | -9 cm | +52 kg |
Between 2010 and 2013 the G37 gained -9 cm in length (-1.9%) and 52 kg in weight (+3.2%). Cars did not so much grow as thicken — crash structures, airbags and equipment weigh more than the metal they replaced, and on the G37 that is 52 kg against -9 cm. Full dimensions by year →
