Infiniti's 2011 FX range is now available for ordering and delivery

(12/04/2011)

The Infiniti FX has already shown its safety credentials with a five-star Euro NCAP crash test result. Previously available only on the FX30d on which the safety system made its debut in 2010, Lane Departure Prevention was chosen by Euro NCAP to receive its coveted Advanced Award. Euro NCAP’s top honour goes to innovations “which demonstrate a scientifically proven safety benefit for consumers and society.”

The Infiniti FX37 and FX50 now benefit from the Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) safety technology. The move standardises Premium equipment levels across all three FX engines – 235bhp V6 diesel, 316bhp V6 petrol and 385bhp V8 petrol of the range’s flagship model, the FX50 S Premium.

Unlike other systems, LDP backs up its audible and visual warnings of an unintended lane departure with a dynamic intervention which helps steer the vehicle back into the correct lane.

From 2011MY, LDP is standard-fit on FX37 GT Premium and S Premium, and FX50 S Premium, as well as Premium versions of the FX30d.

Other enhancements include a power tailgate for the first time and new colour and trim combinations.

A power tailgate standard on all models enhances the FX’s convenience and aids access to the luggage space. The height the tailgate opens to is programmable so there are no concerns when operating the door in restricted spaces. For maximum ease of use, the tailgate can be raised or lowered from a switch on the dashboard, from buttons both inside and outside the tailgate, or remotely from the I-Key.

For the first time on the FX, Infiniti’s opulent Malbec Black paint is one of the eight colours available. The popular finish, which replaces Mojave Copper on the FX colour chart, suits the FX’s SUV-cum-sports-car profile particularly well. Like all the FX colours, Malbec Black is a Scratch-shield finish, the Infiniti technology that makes fine surface scratches disappear and keeps the body looking pristine.

Technical specifications don't change which means that performance remains one of the FX’s main attributes, whether it’s the 550 Nm of torque doing the work in the diesel FX30d or the 385bhp of V8 power that can see the FX50 accelerate from 0-62mph in just 5.8 seconds.
