INFINITI'S coupe crossover the EX will get an extra safety boost for 2011 with the arrival of a new Blind Spot Warning system.

With both audible and visual signals to alert the driver to an adjacent vehicle in the blind spot area, the safety aid will be fitted as standard on GT Premium models.

The system joins the likes of Intelligent Cruise Control, Brake Assist, Forward Collision Warning and Lane Departure Prevention on the EX and, for the first time, all the safety elements will be standard on GT Premium versions of both V6 petrol and V6 diesel variants.

In the only design change for 2011, the needles of the twin dials and the graphics of the trip information screen now show white in a move to enhance quality and show off the interior colours better.

Adjusted prices see the range start with the EX30d model at £36,741.
