Thursday, June 12th, 2008
On sale June 24, all-new 2009 Infiniti FX luxury crossover SUV pricing will start at $40,950 for the FX35 RWD, step to $42,350 for the FX35 AWD, and reach $56,700 for the FX50 AWD.
The 2009 Infiniti FX is available in three models: FX50 AWD with a new 5.0-liter, 390-horsepower DOHC V-8 engine, and the FX35 AWD and FX35 RWD sharing a 3.5-liter, 303-horsepower DOHC V-6. Each engine is paired with a new, standard seven-speed automatic transmission that can be controlled via magnesium paddle shifters.
Based on the laudable FM platform, the new FX features an extensive list of available equipment and technology, such as available Continuous Damping Control and rear active steer. The most notable technology suite includes Distance Control Assist (DCA), a system that automatically applies the brakes to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead, aiding urban driving. Other leading-edge safety systems include Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA), which provides forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking, and a Lane Departure Warning/Lane Departure Prevention system, which as the name implies helps keep the vehicle in its travel lane.
Like the first-generation FX, the new FX looks to combine sport and luxury in an engaging, high-tech crossover vehicle.
