After displaying the JX Concept at the 2011 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, Infiniti has finalized the ideas behind the SUV with a production version unveiled at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show. The new crossover will be offered in two models - the Infiniti JX35 FWD and Infiniti JX35 AWD - and will go on sale in the spring of 2012 at a starting price of $40,450 and $41,550 respectively. The 2013 Infiniti JX has received emotive styling and craftsmanship, featuring the new Infiniti design language direction initiated with the Essence concept. It utilizes a 3.5-liter V6 engine that delivers 265 HP at 6,400 rpm and 248 lb-ft of torque at 4,400 rpm. The engine is mated to a sport-tuned Continuously Variable Transmission to provide high responsiveness and seamless, efficient shifting feel. One new technological feature that stands out from the rest is the Backup Collision Intervention system. This new system warns the driver if another vehicle is entering his path and, if needed, can even apply the brakes to help avoide the collision if the driver does not properly react in time. Hit the jump to read more about the 2013 Infiniti JX. Exterior The JX features an Infiniti modern design language, mostly inspired by the Essence concept, which includes a dramatic, double-arch front grille/headlight shape, double-wave hood, crescent-cut D-pillar, and greenhouse design. It features a long wheelbase that helps it offer proper interior room for seven people. The longer wheelbase utilizes a flat platform floor that enhances third row space and allows the second row seating to move back and forth by up to 5.5 inches. It even comes with a low roofline that does not compromise headroom and provides an aerodynamic look. Furthermore, a front underbody spoiler, an integrated rear spoiler, and rear tire deflectors help contribute to the JX’s zero front and rear lift for enhanced road holding. High Intensity Discharge (HID) bi-functional xenon headlights will be offered as standard, as well as flat blade variable intermittent front windshield wipers, available rain-sensing front windshield wipers, a rear window intermittent wiper and defroster with timer, power folding heated outside mirrors with available reverse tilt-down feature, front door handle courtesy lights, UV-reducing solar glass, and rear privacy glass. The standard power sliding tinted glass moonroof with one-touch open/close, tilt feature, and sliding sunshade opens up the cabin for even more room. The 2013 Infiniti JX comes in a number of exclusive colors, including Emerald Graphite, Glacial Mist, and Diamond Slate, along with Liquid Platinum, Black Obsidian, Midnight Garnet and Moonlight White (colors that are available on other Infiniti models). Interior The interior of the new Infiniti JX combines elegance and fine craftsmanship. The seats will come wrapped in leather as standard, but will also benefit from heated, 8-way power (Driver Seat) and 6-way power (Front Passenger Seat). All front seats can come with climate control (heating and cooling), while the 2nd row outboard seats can come heated, all provided as an option. Another option is a dual occupant memory system for the driver’s seat, steering wheel, and outside mirrors, but the coolest option is an Enhanced Intelligent Key that stores the occupant’s memory position and last-used audio, climate control, and navigation settings. Available as part of the Deluxe Touring Package is an Advanced Climate Control System (ACCS) with Plasmacluster air purifier, Grape Polyphenol filter, and auto recirculation. Technology The 2013 Infiniti JX is the first vehicle in the lineup to offer Infiniti ConnectionTM and Infiniti Connection PlusTM services, which includes 24-hour Automatic Crash Notification, Emergency Call, Enhanced Roadside Assistance, stolen vehicle reporting, Remote Door Lock/Unlock, Alarm Notification, Maintenance Alert, Scheduled Maintenance Notification and My Schedule (via Google Calendar). This system also has Drive Zone boundaries and Speed Alert which helps track vehicle usage by sending a notification by text, e-mail or phone if the boundary has been crossed or the speed exceeded. Both Infiniti Connection and Infiniti Connection Plus are included complimentary for the first year of ownership. The new SUV also features the Infiniti Personal Assistant, Infiniti’s personal concierge service with 24-hour access to a live team of professional assistants, which is included free-of-charge for four years with every 2012 Infiniti. This assistant allows the driver to make reservations, get directions, find points of interest, make dinner reservations, access gift services, answer trivia questions, and receive a wide variety of other services at the touch of a button from inside the vehicle or through the owner’s mobile or home phone. The 2013 Infiniti JX also benefits from the world’s only Backup Collision Intervention, in addition to the existing Blind Spot Intervention system. The Backup Collision Intervention helps the driver objects that are crossing at the back of the vehicle and will automatically apply the brakes if the driver does not do so in a timely manner.

PricesThe 2012 Infiniti JX will go on sale in the spring of 2012 in two versions - JX35 FWD and JX35 AWD - with prices starting from $40,450 and $41,550 respectively. Competition The Infiniti JX is entering a market that is already dominated by models like the Acura MDX and the Audi Q7. The question is does it have all what it takes to become a successful model in that market? The MDX uses a 3.7-liter V-6 engine that delivers a total output of 300 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque. By comparison, the Q7 will be offered with a choice of three new V6 engines (two gasoline and one diesel) and an 8-speed tiptronic transmission.  Abundance of technology Both FWD and AWD Interior is roomier Competition is more powerful There is only one engine option 19 comments: Infiniti JX I don’t like the color of the body paint. It looks dull, but I like the interior and the wide space inside. Also, I’m so impressed with the side rims of this car.
 Infiniti, your marketing and design teams are Dead On Arrival. The FX is ugly enough. This thing is about as bad; ugly front end, Mazda-like rear. Running the edges of the rear doors all the way to the wheel well is simply unforgivable guys. For the rear door goof alone, it does not deserve so much as a second glance. I have purchased three G’s for myself and one for my wife since 2003 but you guys are letting your customers down big time!
 The engine room is too big for this SUV. It’s a nice technology they’ve applied on this car—the Backup Collision Intervention system. It gives warning to the driver if a car has entered his lane and this will prevent a tremendous event in a collision.
 It looks very entertaining and so fun to drive with because on that. And I’m so impressed with the side rims of this car. It looks cool on that.
 Well, it looks very entertaining and so fun to drive with because on that. As for the exterior of it, I noticed that it’s not impressive at all.
 I’m so impressed with the side rims of this JX. It looks cool on that. Moreover, I think it will be more awesome if they use more alive body paint on it, and if they use a powerful and efficient engine.
 It could be the toughest competitor for Lincoln. Well, I just find out they both look simple but can also offer a luxurious and classy interior. It’s a good thing as well that it has an efficient engine.
 It is really a good thing that it has an impressive interior, which is so cozy and comfortable and only suited for an SUV vehicle. However, I have to agree that its exterior doesn’t truly look great.
 Well, I think they should boost the engine of this one, so that it will be more an impressive vehicle. It doesn’t really matter if it didn’t have a striking exterior design, the important is its speed performance and its practicality.
