Minor updates are in store for the 2012 Infiniti FX – a slight redesign at the front, some new color schemes and new wheels. At the same time, prices remain largely unchanged. 

A new profile of the front bumper means a new look. The grille has also been altered and now resembles the one which was fist seen on the 2009 Infiniti Essence concept car. The GT and GT Premium line get new five double-spoke design 20-inch wheels. The S range on the other hand, remains with the previous, distinctive 21-inch set. That being said, S models are now available with Rear Active Steering (RAS) and a ton of other handling enhancing features. Iridium Blue and Graphite Shadow are the newly available body colors for all the FX models.

From here on the details about the models are kind of mushy but here goes nothing: The GT range comes with two V6 engines – one is a 3.0 liter diesel (FX30d GT) that develops 235bhp and the impressive 550Nm of torque. 31.4 mpg on the combined cycle make that one the choice for eco-minded customers. The second one is a 3.7 liter petrol unit (FX37 GT) that brings 316bhp to the wheels. Whichever FX GT you might choose, they will both have the complete luxury package.

The S range features those aforementioned as well with the addition of an FX50 S model which carries a V8 385bhp 5.0-litre. While every other choice, be that GT or S, can be further enhanced by a “Premium” package, the FX50 S comes strictly as a Premium. Overall, one can easily tell the difference between GT and S models – The driver oriented S have bigger rims, Rear Active Steering (except the FX37), and Continuous Damping Control. Smoked headlights, red S badging and dark chrome exterior air vent and sill strip just to name a few more S signs.

To wrap it up, we are going to end with something that all FX models share – an intelligent torque-sensing AWD system. It gets its power from the 7-speed adaptive shift automatic transmission and magnesium paddle shifters on the wheel make changing gear a charm.  Get yourself a Premium version on whichever FX and there’s going to be a 30GB HDD navigation and Bose® Premium Sound System as standard.   Infiniti FX 35 UBI Intake Kit

The 2012 Infiniti FX ranks 5 out of 18 Luxury Midsize SUVs. This ranking is based on our analysis of 24 published reviews and test drives of the Infiniti FX, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.
Test drivers say that the 2012 Infiniti FX puts the “sport” in “sport utility vehicle,” but shoppers in the market for a practical luxury family hauler will be disappointed.
There’s no question that driving the 2012 Infiniti FX is like driving a sports car on stilts. Reviewers can’t get over the way it handles the curves they throw at it, especially in models equipped with all-wheel drive. The FX50’s V8 engine may not be as refined as rivals from BMW and Porsche, but it packs just as big of a punch. And the FX’s interior upholds Infiniti’s reputation for combining advanced technology with high-quality materials and workmanship.
However, the Infiniti FX’s sports car nature may prove to be its downfall among SUV shoppers. Though it’s priced with other midsize luxury crossovers, it can’t hold nearly as much stuff or as many people as some of its competitors. The tightly-calibrated suspension is meant to give the FX sporty handling on twisty roads, but many test drivers note that anyone who has to drive over less-than-perfect pavement each day will quickly tire from the resulting harsh ride.
If a sports-oriented SUV with loads of power and an outstanding interior is on your shopping list, test drivers say the Infiniti FX is a fantastic choice. However, if you prefer a comfortable commuter with plenty of space for passengers and cargo, you’ll probably want to check out other luxury SUVs instead.

The FX35 doesn’t just kick into gear and plod along. Instead, it fires up and breezes by. That is the essence of this ultimate luxury crossover. Although it does pack a pretty mean punch, it’s also an extremely alluring sight, beholding a sleek body shape that sweeps down to underline its burly persona.  An Infiniti FX35 Grill highlights this visual wonder, taking hold front-and-center with bold distinction. If this is the effect you are gunning for then you’ve come to the right place! CARiD.com houses the finest selection of Infiniti FX35 Grills available anywhere, including all of the top-line manufacturers you need to trust when it comes to premier quality.

Infiniti moving production out of Japan to counter strong yen.  Being a global automaker means having to deal with the rising and falling tides of currency. The climate is particularly difficult in Japan, where the yen is valued at record levels compared to the American dollar. Since a giant chunk of Japanese automotive exports are shipped off to America, that means greatly diminished profits.
As of the end of 2011, Infiniti, Nissan’s in-house luxury marque, doesn’t build any vehicles outside of it home country of Japan, though the QX full-size SUV was built in the United States for a time. That’s all about to change, however, starting with the Infiniti JX crossover that’s slated for production in early 2012 in Smyrna, Tennessee.
Soon, more models will be built outside of Japan. “As cars come up for renewal, generally they’re being relocated in a function of where the majority of sales are,” said Andy Palmer, executive vice president of Infiniti, speaking to Automotive News. We’d guess, then, that the upcoming small hatchback from Infiniti, which is said to be inspired by the Etherea Concept, will be built in Europe.
Even models that continue to be assembled in Japan – important, says Palmer, because, “Part of the myth of Infiniti is Japanese craftsmanship…” – will feature more parts imported from outside the country. Currently, Infiniti averages about 15 percent imported parts content for vehicles assembled in Japan, but the automaker is targeting a new goal of 65 percent “non-yen” content.
If production outside Japan goes well, expect the trend of Japanese brands building more and more vehicles beyond its borders to continue as automakers look to bolster profits in the face of a strong yen. “Somebody in this industry has got to demonstrate that you can make luxury outside of Germany and Japan successfully over time,” concludes Palmer. We’re guessing he doesn’t mean Cadillac…

2013 Infiniti JX crosses over into the big leagues. Few automakers make crossovers quite like Nissan does.  And that extends to its luxury division Infiniti, as well. Infiniti crossovers tend to be, well… rather small. The FX combined a sportscar with a crossover long before BMW thought of the X6, and the EX is barely bigger than most hatchbacks. Want something bigger from Infiniti? That’d be the QX, but it’s a proper truck-based SUV, and that behemoth just isn’t for everyone. Enter the JX.  Previewed in concept form at Pebble Beach back in August, the JX35 is now set to make its production debut at the upcoming LA Auto Show. Its design incorporates themes laid down by the Essence show car, but in a much larger form that encompasses three rows of seating for seven coddled souls. The JX is also jam-packed with luxury features and the latest technology you’d expect from a Japanese luxury automobile. That includes the usual suspects: adaptive cruise control, cameras all around, lane-departure warning and a Bose sound system. There’s also a new industry-first safety system that warns the driver and even stops the vehicle if something scurries across its path while backing up.

The Infiniti FX has always been a bit of a wild child in the premium crossover segment. It has a polarizing exterior style, and it’s capable of reaching illegal speeds rather quickly.  Infiniti has partnered up with Formula One racer Sebastian Vettel to make it even more extreme, and the result is the (rather blandly named) Infiniti FX Sebastian Vettel Version.
What does it take for a F1 star to apply his moniker to anything other than a sports car? Money. Serious upgrades to the overall performance of the vehicle. Vettel worked with Infiniti engineers to transform the FX50 into a lower, sleeker machine. The vehicle sits 20 millimeters lower and wears aero bits that help improve its coefficient of drag by 30 percent.
Those changes are rather welcome because Vettel wanted the FX bearing his name to hit a pretty impressive speed target. The goal was 300 kilometers per hour (186 miles per hour), and this Infiniti FX Vettel Version is capable of achieving that mark.
Engineers were able to squeeze an additional 30 horsepower out of the 5.0-liter V8, bringing total output up to 414 horses. This was done by way of a new exhaust system and reflashing the the engine’s computer. Still, 186 mph is a tough task for a bulky vehicle like the FX, so taller gearing was called for. Despite this, Infiniti says the Vettel FX manages to run from 0-60 miles per hour quicker than the standard FX50.
