The FX offers you an array of innovative systems to give you road-holding reassurance. Adaptive Continuous Damping Control (Adaptive Continuous Damping Control) uses high-sensitivity sensors to monitor wheel speed and lateral acceleration (on S grades) for ultra-precision handling, especially on tight corners. The Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) constantly monitors your steering and braking and kicks in should you need to swerve for any reason, while the Rear Active Steer (RAS) optimises rear wheel steering (on S grades, except 3.7-litre engine). And to help you pull away smoothly in wet or slippery conditions, there is our Traction Control System (TCS).
The FX features sports seats with adjustable back-rests which perfectly suit the shape of your body. What’s more, the driver’s seat features a thigh extension and adjustable side bolsters for the ultimate in individual seating comfort. And if you opt for Black Lacquer and Aluminium trim (only available with Graphite Leather and Java Leather upholstery) you’ll have the ultimate in cool driving pleasure.
Driving conditions can change abruptly, but having Intelligent All Wheel Drive (AWD) means you can always drive with confidence. The system adapts to the road and if it detects any slipping, it sends the power to the wheels with greatest grip. To give you impeccable stopping power, the 355mm front brake discs are matched with the 4-pistons opposed callipers. And when you factor in the light alloy wheels, you’ll find them as attractive as they are effective. By using advanced aluminium extensively in the suspension system, the weight of the FX is kept to a minimum. Aluminium is also used for the FX bonnet, while the tailgate is resin, creating a vehicle which is one of the lightest in its class.
Your only difficult moment with the FX is choosing your engine. Will it be the free-revving 320 horsepower FX37 V6 engine or the awe-inspiring 390 horsepower FX50S V8? Either way, the Variable Valve Event and Lift (VVEL) system ensures the power plant responds to the slightest hint of pressure on the accelerator, rewarding it with a fresh surge of adrenaline. Adding even more choice is the FX30d – the first FX to enjoy Infiniti's bespoke diesel engine. This refined 3.0-litre V6 direct injection powerhouse delivers class-leading torque of 550Nm, maximising overtaking performance. All FX models boast 7-speed automatic transmission which shifts through the gears swiftly and smoothly, while the Adaptive Shift Control (ASC) recognises both your style of driving and the particular condition of the road you’re on.
