Summary & Specifications

Summary

The 2009 Infiniti FX crossover doesn't break new ground, but it doesn't really need to. The previous FX was a smash, and the new one carefully recreates the elements that made it so, while improving nearly every aspect of the vehicle at the same time. It's no heavy hauler, and the interior isn't really meant for five passengers, despite how many seatbelts there are. But the Infiniti FX is about driving, and if you want performance from your utility vehicle – and don't mind sacrificing quite a bit of that utility to get it – the 2009 FX crossover is a good call. However, the BMW X5 offers up just as much sport and a roomier interior for about the same money.
