2012 Infiniti FX Revealed

A few days ago Infiniti revealed the first batch of photos with the facelift version of its FX sport utility vehicle which will make its official debut later on this August at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. Set to go on sale in the United States next year, it will come with a lot of styling updates that were inspired by the company’s Essence that was revealed back in 2009 at the Geneva Motor Show.

The facelift version will come with a new front grille and an entirely updated front fascia. In addition, clients will be able to choose from new designs for the alloy wheels while the cabin will also benefit from some updates, like a new instrument cluster and heated seats.

As for engines, the 2012 Infiniti FX will be powered by either an entry-level V6 3.5-liter engine that develops 303 hp or with a more powerful V8 5.0-liter unit that fires 390 hp. Clients will be able to get the SUV with either a RWD or an AWD configuration and these engines will be mated as standard with a 7-speed automatic gearbox.

Infiniti also confirmed that they will roll out a special edition of the FX, dubbed FX35 Limited Edition which will ride on bespoke 21-inch alloy rims and it will come with a special Iridium Blue paint, special floor mats, tinted headlights as well as aluminum pedals

Also at the Pebble Beach, Infiniti will bring the 7-seat XJ SUV. It seems that neither this seven-seater nor the aforementioned Limited Edition will make it into United Kingdom or at least that what Infiniti told Autocar.
