Infiniti FX37 – Driving Report

Avatar photoJamie Doyle

The FX is now in its tenth and final year, as Infiniti’s mid-size crossover for 2014 has been dubbed the QX. During its decade-long production run, the FX has shown us that something that something classified as a crossover doesn’t have to be agonizingly boring, and even in this last batch of 2013 models they’ve added some excitement to an otherwise pretty bleak class of car. The most interesting addition has to be the new 3.7-liter V-6 that makes 325 horsepower, 22 more than the previous V-6. This was the engine fitted to our rear-drive FX37 test car, while all-wheel-drive is available with the 3.7 and the only drivetrain on the pricier FX50 with its big V-8.

We owned an Infiniti FX35 in 2003-04. When family considerations made our then daily driver Porsche 911 impractical, we traded in Stuttgart’s finest for the Infiniti. We found the FX to be a great daily driver, with loads of practicality and more than enough spirit to tackle the on-ramps with vigor. It wasn’t a 911, but it was a nice consolation prize when we needed more space.
