About the Infiniti EX37 Hubcap
Direct fit Infiniti EX37 2013 model year ONLY (1-year US production, briefest EX-Series production variant). Infiniti EX37 was 3.7L engine variant of EX crossover SUV family – EX35 (2008-2012, 5-year production – Batch 59 vaz536 sister listing) received larger 3.7L VQ37VHR engine for 2013 becoming EX37, then renamed QX50 for 2014+ as Infiniti aligned with new ‘Q’ naming convention.
EX37 platform: built on Nissan FM platform (Front Midship) same as Infiniti G37 sedan/coupe (Batch 55 vaz513/vaz514 references), 350Z/370Z sports cars, Nissan Skyline (Japanese market). FM platform hallmarks: rear-wheel-drive or AWD architecture with V6 engine capability and modern multi-link suspension.
EX37 engine: 3.7L VQ37VHR V6 (~330 HP/270 lb-ft – famous Nissan VQ engine family 3.7L variant with VARIABLE VALVE LIFT – VHR designation for ‘Variable Valve Event and Lift’). VQ engine family includes VQ25HR (G25 only Batch 57 vaz522), VQ35DE (G35 original Batch 57 vaz521), VQ35HR (EX35 Batch 59 vaz536), VQ37VHR (this engine), VR30DDTT (modern Q50/Q60 twin turbo). Same VQ37VHR as G37 sedan/coupe/M37/FX37/QX50 successor/370Z/Skyline.
Transmission: 7-speed automatic ONLY (Jatco JR710E – no manual). Drivetrain: RWD standard or EX37x AWD optional (Nissan ATTESA E-TS active torque distribution between front and rear axles). Body style: 4-door luxury crossover SUV, ~182 inches, lower-profile crossover with coupe-like profile, 5-passenger. Trim levels: Base, EX37 AWD, Journey Edition, Limited.
Infiniti EX heritage timeline: (1) EX35 2008-2012 (5-year production with 3.5L VQ35HR – Batch 59 vaz536 sister listing), (2) EX37 2013 (1-year brief transitional with 3.7L VQ37VHR), (3) QX50 2014-2017 (renamed continuation), then all-new QX50 2018+ different platform.
Infiniti Q-Naming Convention 2014+: brand restructured 2014 with Q50 (replacing G37 sedan – Batch 55 vaz513), Q60 (replacing G37 coupe – Batch 55 vaz514), QX50 (replacing EX37 – this listing’s successor), QX60 (JX35 successor), QX70 (FX successor), QX80 (QX56 successor). Naming established to modernize brand and align with Japanese ‘Q’ letter heritage.
Sister vehicle: Nissan Skyline Crossover (Japanese market) – EX37 sold as Nissan Skyline Crossover in Japan with Nissan branding. Competitors: BMW X3 35i, Mercedes GLK350, Audi Q5 3.2 FSI, Volvo XC60 T6, Acura RDX V6, Lexus RX350.
Hubcap note: EX37 has ALLOY WHEELS as standard (not steel wheels requiring full hubcaps). ‘Hubcap’ terminology for modern luxury vehicles typically refers to CENTER CAP (small wheel center emblem cap covering hub/lug nuts), NOT full hubcap wheel covers. EX37 center cap features: Infiniti brand logo (embossed silver/black ‘stylized mountain road’ symbol), circular ~2-3 inch diameter, plastic ABS construction (some metal/chrome finish), snap-in mounting (3-6 plastic tabs), multiple style variations by wheel size (17/18/19-inch).
Common failure modes: (1) Missing/popped off (MOST COMMON – curb strikes, pothole impacts, car wash brushes, parking lot theft of premium logos), (2) Faded logo (UV exposure especially black/painted areas), (3) Cracked plastic (impact damage or age brittleness), (4) Broken mounting tabs (improper removal), (5) Faded chrome/metal finish. Replacement: very easy DIY ~5 minutes snap-in installation.

Replaced missing center cap on my 2013 Infiniti EX37 AWD Journey Edition (briefest EX-Series production 2013 model year only 1-year US production as Infiniti’s transitional year with larger 3.7L VQ37VHR V6 engine ~330 HP/270 lb-ft replacing previous 3.5L VQ35HR of EX35 2008-2012, the famous Nissan VQ engine family 3.7L variant with VARIABLE VALVE LIFT VHR designation for ‘Variable Valve Event and Lift’ same engine as G37 sedan/coupe and M37/FX37/QX50 successor/370Z Sports Car/Nissan Skyline Japanese market, 7-speed Jatco JR710E automatic transmission only no manual available for EX37 unlike G37 coupe, EX37 AWD with Nissan ATTESA E-TS active torque distribution AWD system between front and rear axles, 4-door luxury crossover SUV body style ~182 inch length compact luxury crossover class with sportier coupe-like profile than traditional SUVs, Journey Edition special trim package). Original passenger front center cap had popped off during curb strike incident leaving wheel center hole exposed. Vaz educated me extensively on Infiniti EX37 heritage (briefest EX-Series production 2013 model year only as transitional year between EX35 5-year production 2008-2012 and QX50 successor 2014+ when Infiniti aligned with new Q-naming convention), Infiniti Q-naming convention 2014+ context (entire lineup restructured with Q50 replacing G37 sedan Batch 55 vaz513 reference, Q60 replacing G37 coupe Batch 55 vaz514 reference, my future QX50 replacing EX37, QX60 replacing JX35, QX70 replacing FX, QX80 replacing QX56), Nissan FM platform heritage (Front Midship Platform same as G37 sedan/coupe Batch 55 vaz513/vaz514 references plus 350Z/370Z sports cars plus Nissan Skyline Japanese market), VQ37VHR engine family heritage (famous Nissan VQ family including VQ25HR Batch 57 vaz522 G25 reference, VQ35DE Batch 57 vaz521 G35 reference, VQ35HR EX35 Batch 59 vaz536 sister listing, my VQ37VHR with variable valve lift, modern VR30DDTT twin turbo for current Q50/Q60), Infiniti EX heritage timeline (EX35 2008-2012 with 3.5L VQ35HR Batch 59 vaz536 sister listing, my EX37 2013 1-year only with 3.7L VQ37VHR transitional year, QX50 2014-2017 continuation then all-new QX50 2018+ different platform), sister Nissan Skyline Crossover Japanese market same vehicle different branding, ATTESA E-TS AWD system Nissan/Infiniti active torque distribution between front and rear axles, hubcap vs center cap distinction (EX37 has alloy wheels not steel wheels so ‘hubcap’ means CENTER CAP small wheel center emblem cap covering hub/lug nuts not full hubcap wheel covers used on economy steel wheels), and common failure modes (my popped-off cap most common from curb strikes plus faded logo from UV plus cracked plastic from impact/age plus broken mounting tabs from improper removal). Sourced from 2013 EX37 donor with matching configuration. The EX37 brief 1-year production and Q-naming convention context was excellent.

Bought center cap for my 2013 Infiniti EX37 base RWD (briefest EX-Series production 2013 model year only 1-year US production, 3.7L VQ37VHR V6 the famous Nissan VQ engine family 3.7L variant with variable valve lift, 7-speed Jatco automatic transmission, base RWD configuration as standard EX37 without AWD upgrade for fuel economy and lower price point, 4-door luxury crossover SUV body style with compact luxury crossover positioning ~182 inch length, base trim level entry configuration). Original center cap had badly faded Infiniti logo from years of UV exposure plus cracked plastic on mounting tabs. Vaz patiently explained the Infiniti EX37 heritage (2013 model year only briefest EX-Series production variant between EX35 2008-2012 and QX50 2014+ during Infiniti’s Q-naming convention restructuring), Infiniti Q-naming convention context (2014+ entire lineup restructured to Q for sedans/coupes and QX for crossovers/SUVs replacing previous G/M/EX/FX/JX/QX naming scheme), Nissan FM platform heritage (same as G37 sedan/coupe plus 350Z/370Z sports cars plus Nissan Skyline Japanese market), VQ engine family heritage (VQ25HR/VQ35DE/VQ35HR/my VQ37VHR/modern VR30DDTT twin turbo across Infiniti/Nissan lineup), Infiniti EX heritage timeline (EX35 2008-2012 5-year production with 3.5L VQ35HR Batch 59 vaz536 sister listing, my EX37 2013 1-year only with engine upgrade to 3.7L, QX50 2014-2017 direct continuation), sister Nissan Skyline Crossover Japanese market, hubcap vs center cap distinction (EX37 has alloy wheels so ‘hubcap’ means CENTER CAP not full hubcap wheel cover), construction (plastic ABS body with Infiniti logo embossed/painted, snap-in mounting with 3-6 plastic tabs, ~2-3 inch diameter), common failure modes (missing/popped off most common from curbs/potholes/car washes/theft, my faded logo from UV exposure, cracked plastic from impact/age brittleness, broken mounting tabs from improper removal, faded chrome/metal finish on premium versions), and Q60 successor reference (Batch 55 vaz514 for G37 coupe successor). Sourced from QX50 2014 donor (same platform as EX37 continuation – parts often interchange). One star off because finding 2013 EX37-specific cap vs 2014+ QX50 cap took clarification (often interchangeable but verify). But the EX37 brief 1-year production and Infiniti Q-naming context was excellent.
