Infiniti FX. At first glance, Infinitis well-regarded FX crossover appears more sports sedan than SUV, but its actually an artful blending of both. First introduced in 2003, the shapely FX45, and its V6-powered sibling the FX35, still have what it takes to stop traffic and turn heads. The flashy design, however, sometimes places form over function, most noticeably in the areas of cargo space and rear visibility. If you can live with these minor shortcomings, the Infiniti FXs impressive handling, distinctive good looks and adrenaline-pumping acceleration make it a desirable performance-oriented crossover.
Welcome to our comprehensive Kelley Blue Book review of the Infiniti FX.

Still looks better than 3/4 of new SUVs

@Trevman55 10 лет назад

This thing could pass for modern design. Wayyy ahead of it's time in terms of design, especially the rear. I' a Uni. student in Canada and I just bought an 04 used and it is fantastic. I have people asking me how I can afford a brand new Infiniti, and then they're shocked when I tell them it's a 2004. Just a great vehicle.

my mom got this car 😀😀

As a non SUV fan, this is probably the most stylish SUV ever. Still remember looking at one years ago and it still looks pretty good.

@BentlyboYY 10 лет назад

I'm a driving enthusiast and thus thing has tons of power!!! (fx35) the sexy engine growl is just stunning epically in cold weather she growls in the morning!!

@ChicosAddict 15 лет назад

I have been driving and loving my FX35 for 3yrs now. It has given me ZERO problems, still turns heads, and is fun to drive. You'll feel safe in this vehicle too...haven't seen too many comment on that. If that is as important to you as style and function, no worries.

@DGCarsAndWheels 11 месяцев назад

🙂 Still looks better than most today’s SUVs (2023) and its second generation (known also as QX70) is gorgeous even today.

@areyoucerealtube 12 лет назад

I've had my FX35 for only a year and couldn't be more pleased. A few days after I got it I drove 8 hours across the state in the pouring rain. However I felt extremely comfortable and safe the whole way. Personally, I think the handling feels almost just as good as the G35 (coupe). Aside from the car functioning well, I get many compliments on the looks and brick interior color.

@father_nick8340 5 лет назад

it handled well in the rain bro?

@speedmaster001 15 лет назад

I got an Internet deal from Legacy Infiniti, the largest dealership in the US of a certified pre-owned with very low mil @ 16K mi, excellent condition originally on promotional sale at $35K. With good bargaining, I got it for $33K including the APR and taxes. Made a down payment of $12K and a monthly of $350. Not a bad deal.

@speedmaster001 15 лет назад

I just bought a black obsidian fully loaded sports FX35 AWD complete with technology package, lane departure system, tilt / telescopic steering & controls, and other gizmos. It turns heads but most importantly handles like a cheetah with its powerful engines. I'm loving it...

How long did it last you if you don’t mind me asking?

@चेतन_महाराष्ट्र 3 года назад

Very beautiful design relevant even today.

@Kirby33311 14 лет назад

I have an FX 45 with the nav system. In one of the drill down menus for car settings you can disable this feature. I'm 6' tall, so it's a feature that I really like though.

@youmils03swagger 15 лет назад

I agree. The interior of the Infiniti FX35 is luxurious and somewhat sporty. The FX35 competes with the Porsche Cayenne S while the FX50 competes with the Cayenne GTS. Standard features of the 2008 FX35 (my Consumer Guide test book only has 2008 models, I assume more would be added for 2009) include air conditioning w/dual-zone climate controls, interior air filter, power tilt/telescopic leather-wrapped steering wheel w/radio controls, cruise control, leather upholstery, heated front seats, etc.

@KainaCanada 10 лет назад

I love my FX 45 :)

@robcarter533 3 года назад

😊 I have the 08 Infiniti FX35 with 63000 miles on it. I replaced the headlights and it looks like a "new" older model. Infiniti was first out of the gate with this design Unfortunately they didn't keep up the great pace!

@youmils03swagger 15 лет назад

Standard features of the FX35 include air conditioning w/dual-zone climate controls, interior air filter, power tilt/telescopic leather-wrapped steering wheel w/radio controls, cruise control, leather upholstery, heated front seats, emrmoy system, 6-disc CD changer, Bose radio, power liftgate, rearview camera, outside-temperature indicator, and compass. the 2008 FX45 adds on remote engine start, keyless access and start, wireless cell phone link, universal garage door opener, and power sunroof.

@youmils03swagger 15 лет назад

Why do you not like the Q7 and Cayenne? How about the standard leather upholstery? Sporty ride?

@RK1FX 13 лет назад

How are the brakes on the car and the turning radius, Im planning to have one in europe and we brake a lot during driving, we also have tight roads here so we need a good turning radius. ????

@dllndvs 15 лет назад

is there any difference between the 35 and 45 other than the engine

@youmils03swagger 15 лет назад

sorry, I meant "Audi Q7", not "Audi R8"

@bdub24j 14 лет назад

Funny. I used to think this was one ugly looking vehicle. A friend had one I called "das boot." Not as in "the boat", but because it reminded me of a high top boot or a Converse sneaker (being sporty)...and then I rode in it. Been hooked ever since. Ha, it still has that Converse sneaker look to me at times, but even that shoe is a timeless classic. Look forward to maybe owning and driving my own 'das boot' someday.

@qwertybaby1000 11 лет назад

as you should know if you bought the vehichle the ride is rough but okay at times but so worth it when you have reach 65 mph cornering with 0 body roll

@youmils03swagger 15 лет назад

Standard features include air conditioning w/dual-zone climate controls, interior air filter, power tilt/telescopic leather-wrapped steering wheel w/radio controls, cruise control, leather upholstery, heated front seats, 10-way power driver seat, 8-way power passenger seat, memory system, premium sound system, rearview camera, outside-temperature indicator, power liftgate.

@maybach6536 14 лет назад

try setting the memory differently

@youmils03swagger 15 лет назад

I was talking about the 2009. The 2008 FX35 competes with the Cayenne base, the 2008 FX45 competes with the Cayenne S, the 2009 FX35 competes with the Cayenne S, and the 2009 FX50 competes with the Cayenne GTS. They need a super FX, a REALLY impressive one.

@sano514 14 лет назад

hows the gas milage? anyone plz ?

@chasewashatko8562 2 года назад

still love my 2008 FX45 loaded, missing some features that are in my Lexus but minor , like DVD playback in dash, ventilated seats, parking sensors etc. but it makes up for it with Radar Cruise with preview braking/ brake assist, lane departure warning and other features advanced for the time.

@titan9259 6 лет назад

fx 35 is a crossover but the fx45 is a suv

@Kirby33311 13 лет назад

I love my FX. Quality all the way around. I can't believe that anyone would seriously compare a dodge anything to this car. I've had to drive a Dodge Magnum as a rental car at work, and there is no comparison. It was like driving a bathtub on wheels. But then I didn't take it camping or try to sleep in it. I've never taken my FX off road, nor do I ever intend to, so if that's a concern then I guess I could see a problem, but to each his own.

@snapnrool 12 лет назад

@sano514 ive got a heavy foot and average 20.9 mixed

@Kirby33311 14 лет назад

it's rated to tow 3500 lbs. I tow a 20 foot ski boat but only about town to and from the ramp. I wouldn't really want to take this on the road for any distance with that load behind it. But the vehicle I was using in the past was a Dodge Ram 2500 cummins turbo diesel, and that thing would pull anything. One thing that was really disconcerting is that with the fx you can hear the hitch moving. Something that with the diesel Dodge you couldn't do

@NileshR12 4 года назад

youmils03 Hey the Lincoln MKX from this generation was meant to be a comfortable luxury crossover cruiser kind of vehicle & it had some features the FX didn't offer in its first generation like a panoramic sunroof, cooled front seats, & heated rear seats

@arafatahmed3454 Год назад

I have just bought an FX 35 AWD 2008, 168000 mile. Still the SUV looks almost new and can compete in design with contemporary vehicles. The vehicle runs smoothly without any trouble. One of the best production of infinity and history of luxury SUVs. I believe Porsche cayenne has stolen it's design and this car was way ahead than it's contemporary vehicles

@Vbautista24 8 лет назад

Mine is running strong at 118k. Only needed spark plugs at 100k. Very reliable and fun to drive.

@bamf802 8 лет назад

Mine has 90000 miles and still runs like new.. early to mid 2000's Infiniti vehicles are known to last forever. Used to have an X5 and it was a nightmare. Haven't had 1 issue with my FX45. If you can find one at a decent price, I'd say go for it. you wont be disappointed.

@bamf802 8 лет назад

Plus, you get lots of stares cuz there arent too many on the road. It's a stunning car

@Vbautista24 8 лет назад

Ahmad M. ^ I love my 2008 FX35. Very fun to drive and I never get tired of driving it. And it's one of the best looking crossovers you can buy. Timeless design.

@freddymedina7430 8 лет назад

ive read their allot of fun to drive and own but expensive to maintain.

@ccolivardia 13 лет назад

@Razor4ever brakes are good, turning radius , its about the diameter of the earth, it kinda sux and i live in florida lol, we have big fat roads and sutff, but it is the most comfy car like, ever, amazing value for the price of a used one, and it will never break down, we have had our FX for 6 years and we only had to change the belt once and chane the oil regularly, and there were dashboard defects from 2005 and 2006 models , but if u take it to inifiniti they will repair it for free

@youmils03swagger 15 лет назад

Having this been put on RU-vid two weeks ago, you'd think that they'd have the new FX, the uglier but cooler FX.

@JUDALATION 5 лет назад

@MrCJWEI 5 лет назад

The ride does not feel stiff to me after driving my fx35 for 13 years. Handling is nimble and cornering is sporty. Of all the people have driven or been in my car, no one complained about the ride. It is a good car with style.

@Eldomibori 5 лет назад

Well bud it’s not designed to be a smooth cruiser. It’s designed to be a sporty G35 SUV and it does it very well. I own one and it has been completely trouble free. It corners and handles excellent. And boy that sound is just orgasmic.
