2012 Infiniti FX35 Review
Expert Ratingout of 10
How We Rate CarsPros
- Peppy handling.
- Posh cabin.
Cons
- Stiff ride.
- Rivals have more cargo room.
The 2012 Infiniti FX35 is a midsize luxury SUV that seats five people. It’s for drivers seeking an SUV that’s upmarket and energetic. All FX35 SUVs have a 3.5-liter V6 under the hood, generating 303 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. A 7-speed automatic transmission with manual shift control takes care of the gear shifts. Rear-wheel drive (RWD) is standard, with all-wheel drive (AWD) optional for drivers who need added traction for driving in rain or snow.
This Infiniti is an excellent choice if you’re looking for an SUV with peppy handling. With strong brakes and precise steering, it confidently hugs the tarmac on twisting roads. Its V6 provides a smooth stream of power and facilitates quick acceleration.
In addition, the FX35 impresses with its premium cabin. It has one of the most luxurious interiors in its class, featuring buttery leather, handsome wood accents, and many soft-touch surfaces. The front seats are comfortable, with lots of headroom and legroom.
There are also a couple of downsides to consider: This Infiniti has limited cargo room, and its ride quality is firm.
Infiniti FX35 Changes for 2012

Should I Buy an Older Infiniti FX35 Instead?
The 2012 FX35 is part of the SUV’s second generation, which was introduced with the 2009 model. Any older second-generation model (2009-2011) will be broadly similar to the 2012 FX35, and you can save money by purchasing one of these used SUVs.

My 2006 was bigger, spacious and faster compared to my 2012; However, the 2012 has better and more upgrades.

So far so good. This model would be a model to purchase again. If 40k were on the table, I’d still be looking for fx series or qx series, used. Driven nicely and nice will drive you. Some may disagree on the tech, sure I do understand but know with any car, options to your liking are available. When a car is rented, the fx never misses a conversation of positivity. The road, handling a plus. If u want to speed up without showing the rpm >4, very doable. If you’re looking for one, get one but if you don’t then at least there is a (slim) chance it will be purchased. If you have 1 kid, should be ok. If space is something that you need every single day, then get something larger. If u need space once in a while, it’s worth it. Thanks for reading!
