ProsConsWhat's New

Sporty performance at an unbeatable price

Kind of lacking on the cargo space

For 2012, the FX35 gains an updated front grille and fascia

Plenty of driver assistance and safety features

Pricey optional features

It also receives an updated gauge illumination along with additional standard features.

Distinct exterior design makes it unmistakably recognisable

Its firm ride quality may not appeal everyone

Overview

The 2012 Infiniti FX35 is a proud member of the midsize SUV segment, locking horns with cars like the Acura MDX, the BMW X6, and the Lexus RX 350. Spread across 2 trims, the FX35 starts off at a base price of MSRP $43,700 and carries on to $52,000. Its 3.5L V6 engine and 7-speed automatic transmission give the SUV 303 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. With that, it manages a 0-60 of 6.6 seconds and boasts a towing capacity of 2,000 pounds. Moving to fuel economy, the FX35 manages to get a combined EPA rating of 19 MPG, a poor number for the class, giving its rivals an edge. It also has a ground clearance of 7.4 inches.

Buying Advice

We highly recommend the 2012 FX35 with AWD because it costs $45,150 and comes with everything one could ask for. There are also multiple optional packages available with this SUV, we particularly recommend the $4,150 premium package that offers aluminum roof rails, driver seat memory, a power tilt-and-telescoping steering column, a 360-degree parking-camera system, front and rear parking sensors, etc.
