2005 Infiniti FX35 The Infiniti FX is an SUV for people who like to drive. Both the V6-powered FX35 and the V8-powered FX45 give the enthusiast SUVs from Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Porsche a run for the money, particularly your money, as the Infiniti models cost less than the German competition. Yet in terms of acceleration and handling, they give up nothing to the Europeans. The FX drives more like a big sport coupe than a truck-based SUV because it is more like a big sport coupe. Both Infiniti models are exciting driver's cars, smooth, powerful, very stable. They can be driven much harder than traditional sport utilities, thanks to their big, powerful brakes and firm, fully independent suspensions. On the highway, they feel planted and much more confident than traditional SUVs. The V6 engine that powers the FX35 is the same engine used in the Nissan 350Z sports car. It's powerful, giving the FX35 responsive performance. In fact, both FX models are based on the same rear-drive mechanical platform as the Nissan 350Z and Infiniti G35 coupe. They are not based on any Nissan truck, nor, as some folks seem to assume, on the similarly sized Nissan Murano SUV. (The Murano shares its front-wheel-drive architecture with the Nissan Maxima and Altima.) Driving an SUV from a sports car, however, does lead to some compromises. While the BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz M-Class and Porsche Cayenne each deliver varying levels of off-road capability, all are better suited for the rough stuff than the FX. Infiniti designed the FX primarily for on-road performance, with an available all-wheel drive system intended primarily for improved handling and performance in the snow. Although beefed up a bit for SUV duty, its chassis is still not as heavy as that of a true off-road truck, and that of course reduces the weight its powerful engines have to move. The FX35 is powered by the 280-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 from the Nissan 350Z sports car, An all-wheel. Safety features that come standard include: dual-stage front airbags, front side-impact airbags, full-cabin curtain-style airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners and load limiters, active front head restraints, a sophisticated anti-lock brake system with electronic brake proportioning, and electronic stability control (VDC).
