This 2012 INFINITI FX35 may boast a retired name, but the luxury crossover will forever be iconic to the brand and the world. With sporty styling, class-defining performance, and a multitude of innovative features, you really can’t go wrong with this ride.
Taking heavy influence from the stunning Essence Concept, it showcases a refined front fascia and expressive, flowing fenders. The signature double-arch grille is flanked by sharp-looking wraparound LED headlights.
Overall the curvaceous form and low profile contribute to an abundantly athletic CUV shape to match its mighty powertrain. Equipped with a 3.5-liter 24-valve DOHC V6 engine, it can easily produce up to 303 HP and 262 lb-ft of torque.
Paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission, it integrates Adaptive Shift, which intuitively accommodates different driving behaviors for an ultra smooth gear-changing experience. To further impress, thanks to its sedan-like efficiency, this FX35 earns 21 MPG on the highway and 16 MPG in the city.
Other advanced appointments include (but certainly are not limited to) remote keyless entry by way of a fob and Intelligent Cruise Control, which is operable at all speed ranges and aids in maintaining a consistent and safe distance between vehicles.
