The Infiniti FX was founded in 2003, but its last redesign goes back five years, 2009. At a time when fuel prices hovered around the $ 1.40, this vehicle over 2000 pounds begins to be anachronistic with its big V6 and 5-liter V8. And it checks the total sales which fell by more than half.What the Japanese automaker intends to do with this utility vehicle that has no utility that name? We do not know yet! The year 2013 is likely to be the year of truth Infiniti FX 2013.

Body and interior of Infiniti FX 2013

In terms of design, the Infiniti FX 2013 is not really unpleasant to watch. It is a vehicle whose purpose is not really defined, but it is modern and very dynamic. Inside, it does not lack elegance. The materials are of excellent quality and finish is worthy of the Infiniti FX 2013 brand and compares favorably to what the Germans offer. The seats are comfortable, but they lack lumbar support. At the rear, passengers miss a bit of space.

In terms of cargo space, the design of the vehicle becomes a handicap since has only 702 liters available when the rear seatback is raised. The audio system features 11 speakers, Bluetooth connectivity and navigation. At the front, there are seats with memory function, tilt and telescoping steering wheel and a host of other accessories equally interesting.

The Infiniti FX 2013 is perhaps not the ideal vehicle in these times where fuel costing $ 1.40 or more, but it is a refined vehicle whose interior is really well put together. Will there always be ours next year? Very clever one who can tell. For the moment, however, nothing allows us to say that it will disappear. Why not go with a 4-cylinder turbo as do the South Koreans?
