Debuting for the 2009 model year as a replacement for the FX45, the Infiniti FX50 delivers high-powered performance, agile handling, and a luxury-oriented interior. Outside, it displays a fresh new design, courtesy of a next-generation updating of the FX lineup. Design components include functional side vents, which aid in aerodynamics. In addition, a self-adjusting suspension provides improved performance as well as comfort for occupants, Infiniti notes. The 2009 FX50 comes equipped with Rear Active Steering, in which the rear wheels actively turn to provide quicker, more-stable steering. The FX50's wide stance also aids in stability and gives the vehicle an athletic appearance, while the front midship engine placement, which positions the engine behind the front axle but in front of the passenger cabin, helps to improve the vehicle's overall balance and handling.
