Nissan’s luxury division has unveiled the 2009 Infiniti FX50 performance luxury crossover SUV at an after-hours debut at the Geneva Motor Show.
This is the second-generation of Infiniti’s FX series, and will be offered in three model grades, including a new 5.0-litre V8-equipped Infiniti FX50.
Built on a sports sedan platform, the FX50 features ATTESA-E TS Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, 4-wheel independent double-wishbone suspension and large 4-wheel disc brakes.
Also available is Continuous Damping Control (CDC) suspension, Rear-Active Steer, Intelligent Brake Assist and 21-inch aluminum-alloy wheels designed by Enkei.
The 5.0-litre 32-valve DOHC V8 develops 291kW and 500Nm with a V6 engine to be released at a later date.
The transmission is a 7-speed automatic with Adaptive Shift Control and solid magnesium paddle shifters.
Standard features include fog lamps and Bi-Xenon headlights, a DVD based navigation system, Around View Monitor parking aid, self-healing scratch resistant paint, Intelligent Cruise Control (Full Speed Range), Distance Control Assist and an 11-speaker Bose stereo system.
Plans to bring Nissan’s luxury Infiniti brand to Australia have been circulating since 2006, so it is unlikely we will see the FX50 here any time soon.

Frugal One, this is no Murano. It’s built on a completely different platform.

I like this a lot. Much better than the ridiculously ugly Audi Q7.

Bloody nice cars Infinities…..when I was in the States last year I wondered why they don’t sell them here…..then again I wondered why we didn’t get Chargers.
Goes up against Lexus ,and not as boring either.

Bav Mis, why would you want a dodgy charger? I agree however that it isnt as booring as the LEXUS Kluger. But to ScottB, I say, how is a Q7 ugly, and anyway the Q7 is a much bigger vehicle than the infiniti. 291kW isnt that much for a V8, especially when HSV can manage 307K from a 40 year old (technology wise) American V8. What do you guys think the chances of this making production, as is, are? less than low, can I just say…

I think its hideous, looks like a giant work boot. I think anyone who likes it should really do a google search on the previous FX, it looks far more attractive
