2009 INFINITI FX50 Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a reviewDebuting 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.
A new 5.0-liter V8 engine powers the 2009 Infiniti FX50, delivering 390 horsepower - an increase of 70 horsepower over the FX45's engine. The V8 links to an all-new seven-speed automatic transmission, which includes specially calibrated gears that enable the FX50 to cruise at lower rpms at highway speeds, reducing fuel consumption.
There's no mistaking the FX50 on the open road, with its eye-catching mixture of SUV and sports car design features. Inside, the roomy cabin comes equipped with such features as quilted leather seats, hand-stained maple wood trim, 12 sequential welcome lights that guide occupants into the cabin, eight-way power-adjustable front seats, and an intelligent key with push-button ignition. In addition, an advanced climate control system filters out particles to remove allergens and odors from interior air.
The 2009 FX50 also comes equipped a number of innovative features, including Intelligent Cruise Control, which maintains a set distance to the car ahead at a range of speeds, and a Lane Departure Prevention System, which monitors lane markings and applies the brakes as needed to help you stay in your lane. In addition, an Around View Monitor parking assist system uses four exterior cameras to give you a 360-degree view around the vehicle, displayed on the in-dash monitor.
With the second-row seats folded, the FX50 offers 62 cubic feet of cargo space. The rear door includes a closure-assist system.

seven-speed gearbox adaptable to your way of riding, great acceleration, great resistance on the road, very low fuel consumption and many more superlatives that a man drove a sports car that can sense:)
as less light would add little luggage but it is not only so importantFeb 10, 2010

Bought the "Fitty" two weeks ago, and continue to be more and more impressed each day. Incredible power, great handling, amazing technology, super comfortable, and a unique look make this vehicle a no brainer. It handled 7" of snow without a hitch. The active rear steering is incredible at high speeds. I will never go back to a BMW or Benz again. Between the lack of reliability, the expensive options (e.g. rear view camera, Blue Tooth, heated seats)and the lack of intuitive controls, you'd have to be nuts to buy an X5 or ML350. If you're thinking about an FX50, pull the trigger! You won't be disappointed!Dec 14, 2009
