Infiniti launched the mid-size luxury crossover SUV FX for the first time in 2003. The FX replaced the QX4 and is built on the same platform as the Nissan 350Z.
Infiniti’s breakthrough FX Crossover SUV offers a unique combination of aggressive styling, outstanding performance and luxury car comfort. The FX was conceived on the theme of a "Bionic Cheetah," utilizing advanced technology to create one of the best performing premium crossover SUVs ever imagined.
2004 Infiniti FX
The FX is available in two different versions: the FX35 and the FX45, where the 35 and the 45 nameplates refer to the two different engines. The FX35 available in two trims, the 2WD and the AWD both are fitted to a dual overhead cam 3.5-liter 24-valve V6 VQ35DE gasoline engine, with aluminum-alloy block and heads and low-friction molybdenum-coated pistons that takes use of the Continuous variable valve timing which in part optimizes the opening of intake valves.
The all-wheel drive FX45 offers a standard 315-horsepower 4.5-liter DOHC V8 (based on the Infiniti Q45 powerplant) and features standard 20-inch wheels and tires, leather-appointed seats and a sport-tuned 4-wheel independent suspension. The FX35 features a 280-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 and is available in all-wheel or rear-wheel drive models. The FX35 V6 is shared with the award-winning Infiniti G35 Sport Coupe and Sport Sedan. All FX models utilize a modified version of the advanced FM (Front Mid-ship) platform enhanced for SUV duties. A leader in safety, the FX35 received the top crash test rating in both the frontal and side-impact crash tests from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
2005 Infiniti FX
2005 marks the first ever availability of Lane Departure Warning system (LDW). LDW works to help alert the driver to an unintended movement of the vehicle out of a designated traffic lane with speeds above 45 mph. The new system, which utilizes a small camera, speed sensor, an indicator and an audible warning buzzer, is offered on 2005 FX models – the first automotive application of LDW in North America.
