Nevermind that its model name has changed over the years. The 2012 INFINITI FX35 (now termed the QX70) remains one of those iconic class-leading crossovers so well-loved by the masses that it really doesn't matter what you call it.
Stating the obvious, it possesses major curb appeal. This is a CUV that doesn’t shy away from its nature and is proud to be both sporty and functional all at once. With aggressive styling cues, this four-door sits on a stretched wheelbase of 113.6 inches and features a long hood with short front and rear overhangs. Distinctive side vents serve a purpose beyond aesthetics as they improve the aerodynamics of the vehicle by allowing for greater airflow.
Under the hood, this graphite shadow FX35 features a 24-valve 3.5-liter DOHC V6 engine capable of producing 303 HP and 262 lb-ft of torque. The advanced powertrain also includes Continuously Variable Valve Timing Control System which operates by electronically managing the intakes to deliver more precision and better fuel economy. Paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission, this dynamic ride earns 16 MPG in the city and 23 MPG on the highway.
