Infiniti FX
Select a Year
(2 available)
For 2012 the Infiniti FX has a new front grille and fascia inspired, we're told, by Infiniti's Essence Concept. There's a new FX35 Limited Edition, built atop the FX35 all-wheel drive (AWD) platform; and new wheel designs, a new color and a slight remixing of option packages sum up the substantive changes for this model year.
Infiniti's FX35 and FX45 crossover SUVs actually look more like sports cars than light-duty trucks. The racy FX twins definitely know how to stand out in a crowd, but their flashy design sometimes places form over function. The rear hatch opening, for example, is rather small and there is not much cargo space behind the second-row seats. Narrow side glass and a small rear window create large blind spots, although the standard RearView Monitor helps alleviate this concern. If you can live with these minor shortcomings, the FXs' impressive handling and brutally quick acceleration make them the ideal performance crossovers, with expressive exteriors that can definitely turn heads.

"Great performce, don't have to bottom out that accelerator to get by anyone. Zoom Zoom is no comparison. Great progressive styling, catches everyones eye. Milage is better then any in class (other then those hybrids). If you want that typical boxy SUV/Crossover look this is not the vehicle for you. Owned just over a year now and have not yet been disappointed for turning down Lexus, BMW, Accura, Mercedes and all those other lesser vehicles in the market."

"I love my car! Lots of power. It's like driving a sports car, but with plenty of room. I love the unique look. It gets lots of attention anywhere I go. The navigation system is functional but not quite as good as my Garmin. Other than that, absolutely no complaints. I was looking at the Lexxus when I drove this. No comparison in handling and power."

"For the last 15 years I have driven full size trucks or SUV's with my last being a Chevy Avalanche. After two years of driving and numerous issues with my Avalanche, such as wheel barings at 45,000 miles, I decided to trade in and trade up from American vehicles to a true drivers SUV, without giving up all my utility. In 2008 I bought my wife a G35X, and one year later I was smitten with Nissan's premium line and off to the dealer I went to find myself a luxury SUV. Now after almost two years, and 40,000 miles my 2009 G35X and I are happy to report only one minor issue, a loose drivers side power mirror. The only draw back is the small rear cargo arear, as it still hard to go to Home Depot, or Lowes without hitching the little trailer to buy wood and drywall. I am still happy to trade the gas mileage of my Avalanche (12.5 COMBINED MPG) with the savings and fun I have in my FX (19.5MPG Combined). Furthermore the big smile it puts on my face is worth a little loss of utility. Tires and all other maintenance items seem to be wearing within normal ranges, even though I have pushed my oil change to 8,000 miles with full synthetic and using the larger oil filter from the FX50. I drive 100 highway miles round trip to work each day in style and comfort!"
