Under the hood, the 2009 FX35 is fitted with a 303 horsepower 3.5L V6. This specific engine model has been rated by Ward's as one of the Ten Best Engines for fourteen years running. Dual intake and exhaust give this Infiniti a distinctive sound that is both aggressive and soft at the same time. A brand new seven-speed automatic transmission is standard. By shifting into seventh gear, the FX35 can drive at high speeds with a lower rpm so fuel is conserved. Paddle shifters give the automatic the control of a manual without the hassle. The Infiniti FX35's handling is far superior to most of the competition. Because the wheels are spaced further apart and the bulk of the vehicle's weight is distributed in the middle, handling is a cinch. Also, an available Continuous Damping Control automatically adjusts the suspension for a smoother ride. With 16 city MPG and 23 highway MPG, this five-passenger crossover is moderately fuel efficient. But, without flex-fuel capabilities or a hybrid engine, the FX35 cannot compete with greener models in the fuel economy arena
Inside, the FX35 has three different leather tones available for seating upholstery. Maple wood trim is located throughout the interior, and the Advanced Climate Control System is like something out of the future. The climate control actually cleans the air, and if any pollutants are detected, the outside air vents automatically close. Over 99 percent of airborne allergens are removed with this system, and an ionizer neutralizes any germs in the air. Families with asthmatic children will find that the FX35 can reduce attacks while in the vehicle as well. The interior is also roomy with over sixty cubic feet of space. The rear seat folds completely flat for extra cargo room, and because the FX35 is low to the ground, loading is made easy
In general, the 2009 Infiniti FX35 is simply a higher quality model than most. With advanced features that are truly beneficial for passengers, Infiniti eliminates the unnecessary additions found in many newer models. Priced at around $42,150, buyers will definitely get their money's worth. However, this price could certainly be out of range for many consumers. Families with children will find that the FX35 is both safe and promotes healthy lifestyles.
