Infiniti FX crossover gets facelift and Limited Edition

The Infiniti FX, one of the most bold looking cars on sale, gets a facelift. The most obvious change is up front, where the FX wears a new grille inspired by the Infiniti Essence Concept from Geneva 2009. There’s also newly designed alloy wheels. Inside the “command center-style cockpit”, heated seats are now standard across the range, while the Fine Vision electroluminescent gauges has a more pronounced white appearance.

Here’s one interesting feature we found – an automatic driving position system. This moves the steering wheel and wing mirrors adaptively into the correct position when the seat is adjusted, allowing the driver to change the seat position and keep the same mirror viewpoint and relationship between the steering column and driver’s shoulder position.

The FX comes with two engine options, a 5.0-litre V8 with 390 hp and 500 Nm and a 3.5-litre V6 with 303 hp and 355 Nm. Both are mated to a 7-speed auto with manual shift mode, Downshift Rev Matching and Adaptive Shift Control. Solid magnesium paddle are thrown in with the Sport Package.

Based upon the Infiniti FX35 AWD variant, the Limited Edition features an exclusive Iridium Blue exterior colour, 21-inch 10-spoke graphite finish wheels (with 265/45 V-rated all-season tyres), dark tinted headlights with Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS) and auto-leveling, and dark tinted side air vents and lower door trim.

    really awesome, local car producers will follow this type of technology when this technology will obsolete for the car company who develop this technology now.
    local car p & P lowest ever built in quality,
    1- kikik noise doors 2- could see car in long term become depreciate v v fast bez over all lowest ever china man spare parts use to produce car
    go to authorized workshops for p and p and u c less then 1 month old car got
    1-power windows problems 2- car cant start,, 3- noisy cabin 4- gadgets use inside or outside are felling apart

    i saw manager from poton authorized workshop at ampang nearly cry bez of ten of thousands complaints abt newly bought cars and really pity on him
    so we just rakayat voice up or shout and firmly believe that nothing positive will happen for this matter
    people keep buy bez no other option and keep complain so its on going drama which ends up when dooms day come

    who ever agree or not agree doesnt matter to me bez its fact

      Malaysian cars are always underpowered, such as Proton Saga and Perodua Viva. Saga 1.3 only under 100hp, and Viva 660cc also 50hp, so Mat Rempits modify them to overpower.

    Infiniti should rebadge Nissan Navara for Japan.

    It looks awesome! Serious contender for the Q5. If Nissan can produce stunning cars (compared to their normally boring lower end cars), I’ll take Nissan anytime!

    Been seeing this FX model at middle east, I could not agree more that it’s quite awesome both exterior and interior. I wonder how much does it cost when hit it our shore of bolehland. In UAE, the price for the highest spec is 186,000 Dirham (eq. to RM 152,600).

    These awesome FXs flooded the whole Russia, and those who driving them might be a Mafia or skinhead.
