2009 Infiniti FX50

Press release

A genuine fusion of sports car and SUV, the FX’s dramatic styling sets it apart from the crowd. Built on Infiniti’s FM (front-midship) platform, FX blends sports car proportions with the character of a 4x4. That means a long bonnet and wheelbase, short overhangs and a coupé-like roofline, with the stance and strength of an SUV.

This, the second generation FX, follows Infiniti’s well-defined product strategy, by being inviting in every dimension. Quick to react to driver input, comfortable under all conditions… and extremely rapid, FX is a true Infiniti.

Infiniti’s designers and engineers’ overall goal in its development was to enhance its ‘sports car ability’ while adding refinement – without compromising either side of the equation. The creators of the new FX also wanted to give the vehicle a more ‘human’ feel, despite its mechanical strengths, by integrating the latest technology with owners’ lifestyles.

The new FX50S is designed to be highly adaptive to both the driver and driving conditions, utilizing a long list of Infiniti technologies and systems, including Variable Valve Event & Lift (VVEL) engine technology, Adaptive Shift Control, suspension with active Continuous Damping Control (CDC), Rear Active Steer, Around View Monitor, Intelligent Cruise Control (offering Full Speed Range feature) and Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA).

“FX is the perfect range topper for Infiniti. Exceptionally capable under all conditions, FX makes a real statement. Like the other Infiniti products being introduced to the European market, it will appeal to individuals and free thinkers who never take the default option of all,” says Jim Wright, Vice President, Infiniti Europe.
