Message from the seller

2012 INFINITI FX35 — Graphite Shadow exterior with Graphite interior, powered by a 3.5L V6 (303 hp / 262 ft-lbs). Below 143,000 miles (averaging under 10,000 a year), excellent overall condition, and efficient for its class at about 16 MPG city / 23 MPG highway. In short: sporty, classy, and still thinks it’s way younger than the odometer says.

Factory-standard features include:
- Leather-appointed seats with heated front seats and power-adjustable driver’s seat with memory.
- Dual-zone automatic climate control, tilt/telescoping steering wheel with mounted audio and cruise controls, and voice recognition for safer commands.
- Infiniti Intelligent Key with push-button start and remote keyless entry; Bluetooth hands-free calling and audio streaming plus AUX/USB inputs for your playlists.
- 7-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode for when you want to feel dramatic at a stoplight.
- Safety and handling tech: ABS, traction control, electronic stability control (VDC), multiple airbags (front, side and curtain), and tire pressure monitoring.
- Xenon-style headlights and fog lights, heated power mirrors, alloy wheels and roof rails for a bit of utility.

It’s the kind of crossover that politely pretends it’s a sports car — with the comfort and creature comforts to back it up.

* Based on opinions and should be considered as general guidance only.

  • Reliability (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    Infiniti vehicles generally have a good reputation for reliability, and the FX35 is no exception, though some specific components might require attention as it ages.
  • Maintenance (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    Maintenance costs are typical for a luxury SUV. While generally reliable, parts and specialized labor can be more expensive than for non-luxury brands.
  • Technology (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    The infotainment system is functional for its time, but lacks the modern features and responsiveness found in newer vehicles.
  • Comfort (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    The seats are supportive for long drives, but road and wind noise can be noticeable at higher speeds, and the ride quality isn't the most plush.
  • Dynamics (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    The FX35 offers a sporty driving experience with responsive handling and a powerful V6 engine, though it can feel a bit firm over rough roads.

2012 INFINITI FX35: A Detailed Overview

The 2012 INFINITI FX35 offered a compelling blend of luxury, performance, and distinctive styling, carving out a unique niche in the premium crossover market. It appealed to buyers seeking a more engaging driving experience and a head-turning aesthetic, moving beyond the traditional SUV mold.

Highlights

  • Engine & Performance: At the heart of the FX35 was a potent 3.5-liter V6 engine, delivering a robust 303 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. This potent powerplant, paired with a smooth-shifting 7-speed automatic transmission, provided brisk acceleration and confident passing power. The FX35 was available with either rear-wheel drive (RWD) or Intelligent All-Wheel Drive (AWD), offering enhanced traction and stability in various driving conditions. Its sport-tuned suspension and agile handling for its class made it a joy to drive, often surprising those accustomed to more utilitarian SUVs.

  • Safety Features: The 2012 FX35 came equipped with a comprehensive suite of safety technologies designed to protect occupants and enhance driver awareness:

    • Advanced Airbag System: This included dual-stage front airbags, front side-impact airbags, and roof-mounted curtain side-impact airbags for all rows, providing multiple layers of protection in a collision.
    • Traction Control System (TCS): Helps prevent wheel spin during acceleration on slippery surfaces.
    • Electronic Stability Control (ESC): Assists the driver in maintaining control of the vehicle during extreme steering maneuvers or loss of traction.
    • Anti-lock Braking System (ABS): Prevents wheel lock-up during hard braking, allowing the driver to maintain steering control.
    • Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD): Optimizes brake pressure distribution between the front and rear wheels based on load conditions.
    • Brake Assist (BA): Automatically applies maximum braking force if it detects an emergency braking situation.
    • Available Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC): Maintains a set speed and distance from the vehicle ahead, automatically adjusting speed as needed.
    • Available Lane Departure Warning (LDW) & Lane Departure Prevention (LDP): Alerts the driver if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane and can provide gentle steering input to guide it back.
    • Available Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA) & Forward Collision Warning (FCW): Warns the driver of an impending collision and can automatically apply the brakes to mitigate or avoid an impact.
  • Trim Summary: The 2012 INFINITI FX35 was primarily offered in two main configurations, distinguishing themselves by their drivetrain:

    • INFINITI FX35 RWD: This rear-wheel-drive model provided a more traditional sporty driving dynamic.
    • INFINITI FX35 AWD: This all-wheel-drive variant offered enhanced grip and stability, making it a more versatile option for those living in regions with inclement weather.
  • Other Notable Aspects:

    • Distinctive Styling: The FX35 boasted a bold and aggressive exterior design, characterized by its muscular lines, prominent grille, and sculpted body. It stood out from its competitors with a more coupe-like silhouette and a strong visual presence.
    • Luxurious Interior: The cabin featured high-quality materials, comfortable seating, and an upscale ambiance. Soft-touch surfaces, refined wood or aluminum trim accents, and intuitive ergonomics contributed to a premium feel.
    • Driver-Focused Cockpit: The driver's position was commanding yet connected, with a clear view of the road and easy access to controls.
    • Advanced Technology: Many models were equipped with a sophisticated infotainment system, including navigation, a rearview camera, and Bluetooth connectivity.

What to Expect

Owning a 2012 INFINITI FX35 generally means experiencing a refined and engaging luxury crossover. The driving experience is a significant draw, with its strong V6 engine providing ample power for daily commutes and highway cruising. The suspension, while sport-tuned, strikes a reasonable balance between handling prowess and ride comfort for most occupants, though it can feel slightly firmer than some competitors.

Maintenance: As a premium vehicle, the FX35 requires regular maintenance following INFINITI's recommended schedule. This typically includes oil changes, fluid checks, filter replacements, and tire rotations. While INFINITI vehicles are generally reliable, expect maintenance costs to be on par with other luxury brands. Parts and specialized labor at INFINITI dealerships may be more expensive than for mainstream vehicles. However, many independent mechanics familiar with luxury vehicles can also service the FX35 effectively.

Insurance: Insurance premiums for the 2012 INFINITI FX35 will likely be higher than for a comparable non-luxury vehicle due to its performance, luxury features, and the cost of repairs. Factors like your driving record, age, location, and the specific insurance provider will heavily influence the final cost. It's advisable to get quotes from multiple insurance companies to find the most competitive rates.

Potential Considerations

  • Ride Firmness: While praised for its handling, the FX35's sport-tuned suspension can translate to a firmer ride compared to some more comfort-oriented luxury crossovers. This might be a consideration for those who prioritize a supremely soft and isolated ride.
  • Rear Visibility: The sloping roofline and relatively narrow rear window can compromise rear visibility, making the rearview camera and parking sensors particularly valuable for maneuvering and parking.
  • Cargo Space: While practical for many needs, the FX35's cargo area is not as expansive as some of its more traditionally SUV-shaped rivals. The sloping rear hatch limits the height of items that can be carried.
  • Fuel Economy: The powerful V6 engine, while delivering strong performance, is not the most fuel-efficient. Expect mileage figures to be in line with other V6-powered premium crossovers of its era, which may be a factor for those highly conscious of fuel costs.
  • Infotainment System: While advanced for its time, the infotainment system may feel dated by today's standards, lacking some of the connectivity and interface features found in newer vehicles.

Overall Summary

The 2012 INFINITI FX35 stands out as a distinctive and engaging luxury crossover that prioritizes driving dynamics and bold styling. It successfully blended the practicality of a crossover with the spirit and performance of a sporty sedan. While it may not offer the absolute best in terms of cargo space or the softest ride, its potent V6 engine, capable handling, and upscale interior make it an attractive option for buyers seeking a premium vehicle with a unique character and an enjoyable driving experience. It's a choice for those who value performance and flair over conventional SUV practicality.
