Overview

The 2011 Infiniti FX50 SUV is a proud member of the midsize SUV segment, locking horns with cars like the Porsche Cayenne S SUV, the Land Rover Range Rover Sport SUV, and the BMW X6 xDrive50i SUV. With standalone trim, the FX50 carries a base price of MSRP of $57,600. Its 5.0L V8 engine and 7-speed automatic transmission give the SUV 390 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. With that, it manages a 0-60 of 5.5 seconds and boasts a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds. Moving to fuel economy, the FX50 manages to get a combined EPA rating of 16 MPG, which is just average for the class, with most of its rivals reaching similar numbers. It also has a ground clearance of 7.4 inches.

Buying Advice

We think the $2,900 Technology Package will be a good choice which adds lane departure alert, rain-sensing windshield wipers, intelligent brake assist with the Forward Collision Warning, and more. Meanwhile, the Deluxe Touring Package and the Sport Package are available as well.
