2011 Infiniti FX UK Price
Sat, 08/13/2011 - 02:35
The FX is one of the most popular Infiniti models in both Europe – a market where it is fairly new in – and America. It owes it partly to the fact that it’s a premium product and partly to its fascinating design.
Now you can add competitive pricing and good option to the list of what this car has to offer. The Japanese company announced the pricing of the 2011 model for the British market and it starts at £46,600. I know that’s not cheap, but comparing to cars like Mercedes ML or BMW X6, it’s not bad.
What’s more the new FX also gets a couple of upgrades like the addition of Lane Departure Prevention system on petrol models and a power tailgate as standard on all models. It comes with two petrol engines, one V6 and one V8, and a super efficient V6 diesel engine. It is also available in four trim levels and has Euro NCAP five star safety rating.
Pricing and more details on the features of the 2011MY Infiniti FX in the press release below:
The Infiniti FX, the performance brand’s most popular model in Europe, is a safer, better equipped and even more luxurious proposition for 2011.
Acclaimed for its distinctive combination of athletic looks and dynamic drive, the latest FX37 and FX50 in top-selling Premium guise gain the award-winning safety technology Lane Departure Prevention (LDP). The move standardises for the first time Premium equipment levels across all three FX engines – 235bhp V6 diesel, 316bhp V6 petrol and 385bhp V8 petrol of the range’s flagship model, the FX50 S Premium.
Other enhancements include a power tailgate for the first time and new colour and trim combinations.
Top safety honour
Previously available only on the FX30d on which the innovative safety system made its debut in 2010, Lane Departure Prevention was chosen by Euro NCAP earlier in 2011 to receive its coveted Advanced Award. Euro NCAP’s top honour goes toinnovations “which demonstrate a scientifically proven safety benefit for consumers and society.” The FX has already shown its safety credentials with a five-star Euro NCAP crash test result.
Unlike other systems, LDP backs up its audible and visual warnings of an unintended lane departure with a dynamic intervention which helps steer the vehicle back into the correct lane.
From 2011MY, LDP is standard-fit on FX37 GT Premium and S Premium, and FX50 S Premium, as well as Premium versions of the FX30d.
Enhanced convenience
A power tailgate standard on all models enhances the FX’s already impressive convenience and aids access to the luggage space. The height the tailgate opens to is programmable so there are no concerns when operating the door in restricted spaces. For maximum ease of use, the tailgate can be raised or lowered from a switch on the dashboard, from buttons both inside and outside the tailgate, or remotely from the I-Key.
For the first time on the FX, Infiniti’s opulent Malbec Black paint is one of the eight colours available. The popular finish, which replaces Mojave Copper on the FX colour chart, suits the FX’s SUV-cum-sports-car profile particularly well. Like all the FX colours, Malbec Black is a Scratch-shield finish, the Infiniti technology that makes fine surface scratches disappear and keeps the body looking pristine.
Technical specifications don’t change which means that performance remains one of the FX’s main attributes, whether it’s the 550 Nm of torque doing the work in the diesel FX30d or the 385bhp of V8 power that can see the FX50 accelerate from 0-62mph in just 5.8 seconds.
