2012 Infiniti FX50 Reviews

2012 Infiniti FX50

Infiniti FX50 2012 is a crossover utility vehicle that has the look, more plump aggressive than most other vehicles in its class, and performance that is closer to a sport sedan than a traditional SUV.

Wearing basically look the same inside and out as the FX35, the FX50 upgraded to 390 horsepower -, 5.0-liter V-8 engine (more than 303-hp FX35 V-6) and includes all-wheel drive along with a seven-responsive - speed automatic transmission. Overall, the FX50 can make the sprint to 60 mph in just five seconds, although you will pay a price of some gas mileage and feels noticeably heftier than the FX50 FX35.

Otherwise, most of the others are the same between the two models. This year, all FX models get a revised front-end appearance, with a new grille and front fascia design lamps and resculpted to give everything to flow more, along the lines of the Infiniti Essence concept car of a few years ago. We also tend to think that the current FX models are a bit too cluttered look in it-though good and bad, because they miss the match that systems like iDrive or COMAND can induce.

Of course, some form of voluptuous sacrificing practicality, while the front seat occupants will feel cosseted, no rear seat space a lot, and the cargo space is limited by the roof line and high cargo floor.

The 2012 Infiniti FX is a prime example of how sometimes first impressions really applies. With aggressive, plump and perky shape, hunkered-down profile, it's one of the raciest looking crossover wagons on the market. And apparently, that's what gives FX: Rorty V-8 or V-6 performance, with rear drive or all-wheel and attitudes are much more like a sedan than sport utility vehicle. Of course, a little practicality can not be sacrificed in the process.

For 2012, the Infiniti FX has given a new front-end appearance with a different grille and headlights and front fascia totally resculpted to blend together. Otherwise, not much has changed since the last time FX redesigned for 2009. The design is a bit busy in places, and the metal duct just behind the front wheels, in our opinion, interfere with some nice fender lines. With the latest redesign, the Infiniti FX is also a little warmer and more sophisticated, but with the lack of interfaces that include everything like iDrive or MMI is also undeniably more cluttered than the other vehicles in this class (something that many people would be happy living with).

Two different models from 2012 Infiniti FX is offered-the FX35 and FX37-but the two models look essentially the same and both offer more than enough power, it's really a matter of whether you want a V-8 and how much money you are 'willing to spend. The FX35 gets 303-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6, while the FX50 has a 390-hp, 5.0-liter V-8. Both get a new seven-speed automatic transmission, and while FX35 models can be had with either all-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive, FX50 models come only with AWD.

For most buyers, the V-6 will be a lot faster, and the engine is still among the sweetest V-6 engine around. With one engine, seven-speed automatic shifts quickly and responsive, too. The V-8 clearly faster-around mph faster for 60 seconds, in about five seconds-but we tend to think that for those who do not have unlimited fuel budget and off-duty police-state version of the V-6 with rear- wheel drive is to choose the sweetest of the bunch. AWD models have slightly less communicative steering feel, and the FX50 AWD feels (and) hundreds of pounds heavier. Also, the gas mileage V-8 that may be below the threshold of some buyers', at 14 mpg city, 20 highway.

Inside, the FX35 and FX50 fun-as long as you're in the front seat. As with many sports cars and sports sedans, the FX seems to give them a good future in the comfort and support while ignoring the enveloped rear seat passengers (it was surprisingly cramped back there). Cargo space is also suffering because of the curved design and a high cargo floor.

All standard safety features you would expect here come standard in FX, and as with most luxury vehicles priced in the region, a number of (expensive) high-tech active-safety option can help you avoid accidents in the first place. Lane Departure Prevention follow the road markings on the road, tell the driver, and can even apply the brakes lightly, while the advanced cruise control system can bring the FX to a complete stop if traffic slows.

Between the two models, there is very little difference in the level of standard features-features, the FX50 comes with larger, showier wheels, but with the new Limited Edition, you can get a 21-inch graphite-finish wheels, dark tinted headlamps, adaptive front lighting and other additional FX35 AWD. Available navigation system equipped with 9.3-gigabyte music-storage, and well integrated Bluetooth. Other big-ticket technology options including lane departure warning system, adaptive suspension, adaptive bi-xenon headlamps, and a navigation system with a very good display and interface.
