Infiniti does not build many cars like the Infiniti FX: a 5-door SUV with Petrol engine, built from 2002 to 2019 in the decade of stability control, dual-clutch gearboxes and the first serious hybrids. Its designer of record is Mamoru Aoki.
How it came about
The Infiniti QX70, formerly the Infiniti FX until 2013, is a mid-size luxury crossover SUV marketed by Infiniti, Nissan's luxury division between 2002 and 2019 over two generations. The model replaced the QX4 as Infiniti's mid-size SUV. The model does not have a Nissan-branded equivalent, and was never sold in Japan.
The hardware
Under the skin sits Petrol engine; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. The gearbox is a 5-speed RE5R05A automatic. The wheelbase is 112.2 in. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Family and rivals
Where it sits in Infiniti's history is not in doubt: the Infiniti QX4 came before it; the Infiniti QX65 followed it; it was built at Hiratsuka, Kanagawa, Japan. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Porsche Cayenne, the Citroën C3, the Kia Sorento. Its Infiniti stablemates include the Ex35 and the Fx35.
The money
On the used market today a Infiniti FX typically changes hands for $21,200–$30,500, and running it — fuel and maintenance at its age — costs about $5,699–$7,135 a year. Insurance sits around $1,980–$3,040 a year. The figures are class-level estimates from the federal record, with the formula on the methodology page; the model-year pages carry complaints, recalls and repair costs year by year.
