A mid-size luxury SUV, the 2013 Infiniti FX37 is powered by a 3.7-liter V6 engine that produces 325 hp. Both drivetrains, standard FWD and optional AWD, are paired to a 7-speed automatic transmission that enables the FX37 to achieve 17 mpg city and 24 mpg highway. Features include HID headlights, LED brakelights, glass moonroof, power rear liftgate, dual exhaust with polished finishers, push-button ignition, heated/cooled seats, leather seats, 11-speaker sound system, steering-wheel mounted controls, hands-free phone capabilities, navigation system, rearview monitor, and voice recognition. Safety is comprised of an advanced airbag system, electronic brake force distribution (EBD), brake assist (BA), anti-lock braking (ABS), blind-spot warning, lane departure warning, traction control, and vehicle dynamic control (VDC). The FX37 is backed by a 4-year/60,000-mile warranty.
2013 model year changes
Big news for the 2013 Infiniti FX is the increase in V6 engine displacement from 3.5L to 3.7L. The increase carries a bump in power, up from 303 hp to 325 hp. Model nomenclature changes accordingly and is now the FX37. An FX37 Limited Edition includes exclusive amenities such as 21-inch alloy wheels, adaptive and auto-leveling headlights and more.
The 2013 Infiniti FX37 and FX50 manage to package sport-sedan performance into a crossover utility vehicle package. But what really separates them from the rest of the performance-SUV crowd is that they really look the part, with curvy sheetmetal and an aggressive stance. Both of these models handle far better than most other so-called performance utility vehicles.
The other aspect that truly distinguishes the FX models is available technology. Especially on the FX50, a long list of optional items is available that otherwise might only be offered in big sedan flagships such as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class or BMW 5-Series--including items like lane-departure warning, collision braking and intelligent cruise control.
