Infiniti FX (09 on) - Review Review by Simon Harris on 14 September 2009 Last Updated: 14 May 2012 The FX is the largest car in the line-up of upmarket vehicles from Nissan's luxury car brand, Infiniti. It competes against the Porsche Cayenne, BMW X6 and Range Rover Sport but claims to be more driver-focused than all of the alternatives. Unlike the Cayenne and Range Rover Sport, the FX has no off-road ability. However, it has the presence of a large 4x4, and - Infiniti claims - the agility of a coupe. This is the second-generation FX model, the original having been a success in North America and a few private imports of the earlier model made it to the UK. Now the interior has a less mass-produced feel with expensive looking trim and excellent attention to detail. If petrol really is your thing you'll gor for the thirsty 3.7-litre V6 or 5.0-litre V8. The 3.0-litre V6 diesel is more UK-friendly, offering better fuel economy and lower emissions. 3.5 out of 5 Other Infiniti reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Gallery 3.5 out of 5 Summary Tweet New price range: £46,780 - £58,280 View all new prices Used price range: £22,610 - £42,570 View all used prices Get an Infiniti FX (09 on) information pack Next steps Strong performance, sure-footed handling, superb build quality, good value Very firm ride, lacks image compared with rivals, diesel makes a racket when pushed The FX is the largest car in the line-up of upmarket vehicles from Nissan's luxury car brand, Infiniti.
