2012 INFINITI FX50 ROCKS!
04.03.12
Review by Sheryll Alexander
We weren’t surprised one bit when Costa Mesa-based NADAguides.com announced today that the 2012 Infiniti FX50 is their “featured vehicle of the month” for April. On a recent weeklong road test of a sparkling gunmetal gray 2012 Infiniti FX50s, we agreed with NADA that this cool-looking CUV (or is it an SUV?!) brings tons of comfort, hot technology, good design and competitive performance to the luxury CUV/SUV market.
NADAguides.com, which claims to be “the leading online provider of vehicle pricing and information,” says it based this award not only on the above features, but also on “numbers and pricing (base MSRP $59,800) … distinctive styling with exciting performance, utility, and versatility.”
Again, we agree. We drove our fully-loaded 2012 Infiniti FX50S (base MSRP $64,050)) all over coastal Orange County on trips to hip drinking spots (such as OC Wine Mart), to hot new restaurants (like South Coast Plaza’s new and yummy ZCafe) and to our fave South Laguna haunts on scenic drives down Pacific Coast Highway. Our FX50S impressed us each and every time we sat inside its uber comfortable interior with wraps-you-perfectly heated leather seats.
But before we get into why we love the interior, let’s chat about the outside. “It looks like a duck bill,” says our smallest reviewer, who has a good eye for design detail. She’s so right. The bulbous hood and oval chrome grille of the 2012 Infiniti FX50 gives it a distinctive look. We also love the chromed out side air vents, the curvy fenders, the 21-inch designer wheels and the bootylicious hatch.
The FX50’s roomy interior feels sporty, sumptuous and even sexy. We enjoyed how the driver’s cockpit for its plush saddle-stitched seats, hot instrument gauges, way cool dash with state-of-the-art infotainment system, surround view parking sensors and 11-speaker Bose audio system, along with many other luxury-minded features.
What about performance? The base model comes equipped with an all-wheel-drive 390 hp 5.0-liter V8 all-wheel-drive (AWD) engine. Although the FX50 is a rather heavy vehicle, this power plant rocks with fast and smooth acceleration through all gears and at all speeds. Infiniti outfitted its FX50 with loads of advanced technical wizardy when it comes to performance including variable valve event and lift valve technology, intelligent brake assist, distance control assist, intelligent cruise control and lane departure warning.
What does this all mean? The 2012 Infiniti FX50 is one of the best-performing and most fun-to-drive crossover utility vehicles (CUV) on the market today.
So, what didn’t we love about the FX50? Absolutely nothing when you consider this vehicle is a mid-sized CUV and not a full-sized SUV for hauling lots of cargo or passengers.
Yes, the 2012 Infiniti FX50 (especially the sport model) is a good choice for those who are seeking luxury in a functional, versatile and trendy ride. We can’t wait to take this hot CUV on a long family vacation, girlfriend getaway or romantic road trip some time very soon. LOVE FX50!
