2009 Infiniti FX

The 2009 Infiniti FX ranks 6 out of 15 Luxury Midsize SUVs. This ranking is based on our analysis of 16 published reviews and test drives of the Infiniti FX, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.

The FX is redesigned for 2009 with two powerful new engines, a stylish exterior and lots of hi-tech features. Its sporty handling and innovative safety features shine in the familiar sea of crossover SUVs. For a more comfortable ride, consider the Lexus RX 350 or Acura MDX.

Test drivers find the FX incredibly fun to drive, if a bit uncomfortable at times. "FX stands out from the pack for its combination of unique styling, sporty handling, and relative utility," says Consumer Guide. "It does, however, makes some sacrifices in the ride and rear visibility departments. Competitors such as Acura MDX and Lexus RX exhibit a more comfortable, conventional blend of luxury and convenience, with less edgy styling and a more composed ride." Despite a hefty base price, the FX can be considered a value due to its high level of standard features. In addition, it costs several thousand dollars less than the similar 2009 BMW X6.Link......
