Benefits of Driving a 2012 Infiniti FX Models Sport Utility Crossover

The 2012 Infiniti FX35 and FX50 manage to package sport-sedan performance into a crossover utility vehicle package. But what really separates them from the rest of the performance-SUV crowd is that they really look the part, with curvy sheetmetal and an aggressive stance. Both of these models handle far better than most other utility vehicles that claim performance in their segment.

What's new for 2012?

The Infiniti FX gets revised front styling for 2012, including a new grille and fascia design, plus revised instrument-panel illumination. Heated front seats are now standard on all FX models, and a new quilted-leather upholstery and new 20-inch wheel design have been wrapped into the Deluxe Touring Package on FX35 models

Model Review

The Infiniti FX35 and FX50 look quite the same inside and out, but their powertrains give them a different personality from behind the wheel. FX35 models come with a 303-horsepower, 3.5L V6, while FX50 models get a 390-hp, 5.0L V8. Both are hooked up to a 7-speed automatic transmission that includes adaptive shift control. An intelligent, road-oriented all-wheel drive system is included on all FX50 models, as well as on the FX35 Special Edition.
