About the Infiniti G25 Wheelchair Lift
This listing concerns a wheelchair lift for the Infiniti G25 - a part-vehicle combination that does NOT exist because the Infiniti G25 is a LUXURY SPORT SEDAN, not a wheelchair-accessible vehicle.
Infiniti G25 context: Brief 2-year US production (2011-2012 ONLY) making it the BRIEFEST INFINITI G-SERIES VARIANT. The G25 was Infiniti's ENTRY-LEVEL sport sedan variant of the G37 sedan platform with smaller-displacement engine for better fuel economy and lower entry price - targeting price-sensitive luxury buyers during the slow recovery from the 2008 financial crisis. Built on Nissan FM (Front Midship) platform same as G37 sedan, Infiniti M sedan, Nissan 350Z, and predecessor G35 (Batch 57 vaz521 reference).
G25 specifications: 4-door luxury sport sedan ONLY (no coupe G25 - G37 continued as coupe). VQ25HR V6 engine (2.5L 24-valve DOHC ~218 HP/187 lb-ft, smaller sibling of VQ35HR/VQ37VHR engines used in G37/M37/Q50/Q60, Nissan VQ engine family same lineage as award-winning VQ35DE that won Ward's '10 Best Engines' multiple times Batch 57 vaz521 reference). 7-speed Jatco automatic transmission ONLY (no manual G25). RWD or G25x AWD. Competed with BMW 328i Base, Mercedes C-Class C300 Base, Audi A4 2.0T Base, Lexus IS 250, Acura TSX, Saab 9-3 - all luxury sport sedans.
Discontinued 2012 after 2-year run. Q50 sedan from 2014+ (Batch 55 vaz513) replaced G37/G25 line with multiple powertrain options including 2.0L Mercedes-sourced Turbo I4 base engine via Renault-Nissan-Mercedes alliance, filling G25's entry-level market position.
Wheelchair lift definition: PLATFORM-BASED MOBILITY ACCESSIBILITY DEVICE where electric or hydraulic platform RAISES the wheelchair from ground level up to vehicle floor level. Different from ramps (Batch 57 vaz521 reference) which are inclined surfaces. Types: platform lift (most common, hydraulic folding from vehicle side/rear), rotary lift (pivots wheelchair), under-vehicle lift (stores beneath premium), cable lift (older technology).
Lift vs ramp distinction: Lifts used when vehicle floor 35+ inches above ground (full-size vans). Ramps used when floor 24-30 inches (minivans). Lifts heavier (200-400 lbs alone) and more expensive ($2,000-7,000+ lift only, $5,000-15,000+ installed). Lifts need power (electric/hydraulic). Lifts provide independence for wheelchair user.
Why G25 cannot have wheelchair lift: (a) Floor height too low (~28-inch cabin vs lift-compatible 35+ inches), (b) Narrow door opening (~26-30 inch sedan vs wheelchair 32-36 inch required), (c) Low interior roof (~38 inches vs wheelchair user 52+ inch sitting), (d) Sedan structure insufficient for heavy lift mounting (lifts 200-400 lbs plus 600-800 lbs wheelchair user load far beyond sedan design), (e) No rear/side cargo access (trunk only), (f) Insufficient electrical capacity for heavy-duty lift motor (50-100+ amps), (g) No interior floor space for wheelchair maneuvering, (h) No factory wheelchair accessibility option, (i) No aftermarket conversion exists for G25.
Vehicles that use wheelchair lifts (not G25): full-size vans (Ford E-Series pre-2014, Ford Transit modern, Chevy Express/GMC Savana, Mercedes Metris/Sprinter, Ram ProMaster), paratransit vans (commercial wheelchair transport for hospitals/senior services), large commercial vehicles. Major conversion companies: BraunAbility (Winamac IN industry leader), Vantage Mobility International / VMI (Phoenix AZ), Eldorado National (Salina KS), Freedom Motors.
Customer likely needs: (1) Wheelchair lift for actual full-size van, (2) Has different vehicle confused about make/model, (3) Looking for G25 sport sedan PARTS (body panels, door components, VQ25HR engine, interior - common parts categories we DO supply), (4) Driving disability adaptations like hand controls (different category). Call (240) 301-0095 for clarification.

What is the Infiniti G25?
The Infiniti G25 is BRIEF 2-YEAR PRODUCTION (2011-2012) entry-level luxury sport sedan: (1) BACKGROUND - introduced 2011 as entry-level variant of G37 sedan platform with smaller engine for better fuel economy and lower entry price during 2008 financial crisis recovery era. (2) PLATFORM - Nissan FM (Front Midship) same as G37 sedan, Infiniti M sedan, G35 (Batch 57 vaz521), Nissan 350Z. Sport-oriented chassis. (3) BODY STYLE - 4-door luxury sport sedan ONLY (no coupe G25). Same body as G37 sedan. (4) ENGINE - VQ25HR 2.5L V6: 218 HP, 187 lb-ft torque. Smaller sibling of VQ35HR/VQ37VHR. Aluminum block, 24-valve DOHC, multi-port fuel injection. Member of Nissan VQ engine family. (5) TRANSMISSION - 7-speed Jatco automatic ONLY (no manual G25 - manual only available with VQ37VHR in G37). (6) DRIVETRAIN - RWD standard or G25x AWD variant (same AWD system as M37x). (7) COMPETITORS: BMW 328i Base (E90 era), Mercedes C-Class C300 Base, Audi A4 2.0T Base, Lexus IS 250, Acura TSX, Saab 9-3 - all entry-level luxury sport sedans. (8) VS G37: same platform and body, smaller engine (2.5L vs 3.7L), lower MSRP ($30,950 vs $34,250 in 2011), lower HP (218 vs 328), better fuel economy (20/27 vs 18/26 mpg), automatic only G25 vs manual available G37. (9) DISCONTINUATION 2012: After 2 years, Infiniti reorganized naming with Q-Series. Q50 sedan 2014+ (Batch 55 vaz513) replaced G37/G25 line. Lower-powered Q50 variants (including 2.0L Mercedes Turbo I4 via Renault-Nissan-Mercedes alliance) filled G25's market position. (10) USED MARKET - relatively scarce due to brief 2-year production. Often more affordable than G37 used. (11) WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBILITY - G25 has NONE: sport sedan architecture not compatible. Customer needs different vehicle for wheelchair access.
What's the difference between wheelchair lifts and ramps?
WHEELCHAIR LIFTS and WHEELCHAIR RAMPS serve same purpose but use different mechanisms: (1) WHEELCHAIR LIFT (This Listing's Concept): (a) PLATFORM-BASED - electric or hydraulic platform raises wheelchair from ground to vehicle floor. (b) NO SLOPE - vertical motion. (c) HEAVIER (200-400 lbs). (d) MORE EXPENSIVE ($2,000-7,000+ alone, $5,000-15,000+ installed). (e) NEEDS POWER (electric/hydraulic motor). (f) USED FOR HIGH FLOOR VEHICLES (vans with floor 35+ inches above ground). (g) PROVIDES INDEPENDENCE for wheelchair user. (h) WORKS IN ANY WEATHER better than ramp. (i) HEAVIER MANUFACTURE requiring more vehicle structure. (2) WHEELCHAIR RAMP (Batch 57 vaz521 Reference): (a) INCLINED SURFACE - slope from ground to vehicle floor. (b) GRAVITY-DEPENDENT - wheelchair rolls down/up ramp. (c) LIGHTER (30-100 lbs typical). (d) LESS EXPENSIVE (manual $300-1,500, power $2,000-5,000). (e) MANUAL or POWER. (f) USED FOR LOWER FLOOR VEHICLES (minivans 24-30 inches). (g) MAY NEED ASSISTANCE for steeper slopes. (h) WEATHER CONCERN with slick ramps. (i) LIGHTER MANUFACTURE. (3) WHEN TO USE LIFT vs RAMP: (a) Full-size van too high for ramp - LIFT. (b) Minivan with lowered floor - RAMP typically. (c) Wheelchair user independence priority - LIFT. (d) Cost constraint - RAMP cheaper. (e) Frequent use - LIFT more durable. (f) Heavy wheelchair user - LIFT handles more weight. (g) Power wheelchair (heavier) - LIFT often required. (4) FOR INFINITI G25 - neither works. G25 isn't designed as wheelchair-accessible vehicle. Customer needs full-size van for lift or minivan with conversion for ramp. (5) MANUFACTURERS: Lifts (BraunAbility Vista/UVL, Ricon S-Series, Bruno Curb-Sider). Ramps (BraunAbility CompanionVan fold-out, VMI Northstar in-floor).
What full-size vans use wheelchair lifts?
Full-size vans are PRIMARY wheelchair lift platforms: (1) FORD E-SERIES (Pre-2014): Replaced by Transit in 2014. Common in commercial paratransit. Used wheelchair-converted E-Series widely available. Cost $15,000-30,000+ used. (2) FORD TRANSIT (2014+): Replaced E-Series. European-derived design, multiple roof heights. High roof allows wheelchair user to stand. Most popular modern full-size van for wheelchair conversion. Cost $35,000-65,000+ used or new with conversion. (3) CHEVROLET EXPRESS / GMC SAVANA: Continuous production since 1996. Wheelchair conversion options. 4x4 option available. Heavy-duty 3500 variants common. (4) MERCEDES METRIS: Mid-size van between traditional minivan and full-size. Modern European design. Premium pricing. (5) MERCEDES SPRINTER: Replaced Dodge B-Series Van 2003+ via DaimlerChrysler era (Batch 56 vaz519 reference). High roof and multiple configurations. (6) RAM PROMASTER: Italian Fiat Ducato-derived. Front-wheel-drive (unusual for full-size van). Low floor allows easier access. (7) CONVERSION COMPANIES: BraunAbility (Winamac IN industry leader), VMI (Phoenix AZ), Eldorado National (Salina KS), Freedom Motors, Bay-City Mobility, Rollx Vans. (8) FOR PARATRANSIT: specialty van builders produce dedicated wheelchair transport vans. Multiple wheelchair positions per van (4-6 common). Used by hospitals, senior services, disability transportation. (9) FOR INFINITI G25 - doesn't fit any van categories (sport sedan not van). Customer needs different vehicle entirely.
What is the VQ25HR engine?
The VQ25HR is Nissan's 2.5L V6 from the VQ engine family: (1) DESIGNATION: VQ = Nissan V-engine series. 25 = 2.5 liter displacement. HR = Higher-Revving design with updated heads. (2) SPECIFICATIONS: 2.5 liter (2,496 cc), V6 cylinder configuration, DOHC, 24 valves total, aluminum block and heads, multi-port fuel injection, ~218 HP at 6,400 rpm, ~187 lb-ft torque at 4,800 rpm, premium fuel recommended. (3) NISSAN VQ FAMILY CONTEXT: VQ25HR (this engine, 2.5L), VQ35DE (3.5L in G35/350Z/Maxima - award-winning Batch 57 vaz521), VQ35HR (3.5L higher-revving variant), VQ37VHR (3.7L in G37/370Z/M37/Q50 standard), VR30DDTT (3.0L twin-turbo in modern Q50/Q60 Red Sport 400 Batch 55). (4) APPLICATIONS - VQ25HR specifically: Infiniti G25 sedan 2011-2012 (this listing), some Japanese market Nissan vehicles, limited global applications. Relatively obscure engine due to brief G25 production. (5) POSITIONING - entry-level V6 for Infiniti G25: lower HP than 3.7L VQ37VHR, better fuel economy, smooth V6 power delivery typical Nissan. (6) RELIABILITY: generally reliable, similar internal architecture to other VQ family. Common VQ issues: timing chain tensioner, oil consumption, coil pack failures. Reaches 150,000+ miles with maintenance. (7) PARTS - some shared with VQ35HR/VQ37VHR (common components), some VQ25HR-specific. (8) DIFFERENCES from VQ37VHR: different displacement, different heads, different intake/exhaust, cannot directly swap between G25 and G37. (9) FOR USED ENGINE PURCHASE - sourcing moderate due to limited production. Call (240) 301-0095 for VQ25HR availability.
Could my Infiniti G25 be modified for disability driving?
YES - G25 can be adapted for drivers with disabilities (not wheelchair lifts, but DRIVING ADAPTATIONS): (1) DRIVING ADAPTATIONS for G25: (a) HAND CONTROLS - mechanical/electronic for hand-operated acceleration and braking. (b) STEERING WHEEL SPINNER KNOB. (c) PEDAL EXTENDERS. (d) LEFT-FOOT GAS PEDAL. (e) MIRROR EXTENSIONS. (f) SEAT SWIVEL OR LIFT. (g) ELECTRONIC BRAKE/THROTTLE controls. (2) INSTALLATION: vehicle assessment by certified mobility evaluator, installation by NMEDA-certified installer, DMV approval, insurance notification, $1,500-8,000+ cost. (3) G25 SPECIFICALLY adaptable: 7-speed automatic compatible with most adaptations (no manual G25 to complicate), RWD or AWD both work, standard seat positions modifiable. (4) FUNDING SOURCES: Veterans Affairs (VA), State Vocational Rehabilitation, manufacturer rebates ($500-1,000 some new vehicles), Department of Labor disability programs. (5) CERTIFIED INSTALLERS: NMEDA (National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association) member dealers across US.

Wheelchair accessibility allows wheelchair user to BE TRANSPORTED (requires van/conversion vehicle). (7) PROFESSIONAL EVALUATION: CDRS (Certified Driver Rehabilitation Specialist), NMEDA dealer, healthcare provider/occupational therapist. (8) CALL (240) 301-0095 - we can direct to appropriate resources.
Why is the G25 so rare?
The Infiniti G25 is RARE because of BRIEF 2-YEAR PRODUCTION: (1) PRODUCTION SCOPE: Only 2 model years (2011 and 2012). Limited volumes ~5,000-15,000 total US production both years combined. Comparison: G37 produced 2008-2013 (6 years) with much higher volume. (2) WHY BRIEF: (a) 2008 FINANCIAL CRISIS RECOVERY - Infiniti introduced G25 to provide lower-priced entry during economic recovery when buyers were budget-conscious. (b) MARKET DEMAND lower than expected. (c) PROFIT MARGINS thinner than G37. (d) NAMING REORGANIZATION 2013-2014 - Infiniti decided to reorganize G-Series under Q-Series. (e) MERCEDES ALLIANCE - Renault-Nissan-Mercedes alliance gave Nissan access to Mercedes 2.0L turbo I4 for Q50, replacing VQ25HR role. (3) DISCONTINUED 2012. Q50 (2014+) took entry-level role with multiple engine options: 2.0L Mercedes (~208 HP), 3.7L VQ37VHR (~328 HP), 3.5L V6 hybrid (~360 HP), 3.0L VR30DDTT (~300 HP base or ~400 HP Red Sport 400). (4) USED MARKET: Limited inventory. Often more affordable than G37 used. Some collectors view G25 as Infiniti curiosity. Parts availability slightly more challenging due to lower production. (5) PARTS - many shared with G37 sedan (body panels, interior, suspension/brakes). VQ25HR engine-specific parts may take longer to source. (6) RELIABILITY good (same platform as G37). (7) ENTHUSIAST INTEREST: some swap larger VQ engines into G25. Collector interest in unique Infiniti models. (8) COMPARISON to other rare Infinitis: original G20 generation 1 (1991-1996), M30 coupe (1990-1992), Q45 first generation (1990-1996). G25 fits 'rare Infiniti' category.
