The 2008 Infiniti FX35, a five-seater crossover utility car, comes with agile handling, all-weather capability and head-turning looks that few of its peers can match. It is fast, responsive and comes standard with rear-wheel drive, but an all-wheel version is also available. The Infiniti FX35 is a carryover from 2007.

A 3.5-liter V6 making a potent 275 hp and 268 pound-feet of torque powers the 2008 Infiniti FX35. A five-speed automatic transmission with a manual-shift mode is the sole gearbox. The rear-wheel drive is standard, though the Infiniti FX35 offers an optional all-wheel-drive system with a rear bias to preserve its sporty handling capabilities.

The 2008 Infiniti FX35 is a midsize luxury SUV available in one trim level. The standard features include xenon headlights, leather upholstery, power front seats, a power steering wheel, 18-inch alloy wheels, a Bose audio system with an in-dash six-disc CD changer, a rearview monitor and accessories. Some of the options available include a moonroof, Infiniti's Intelligent Key keyless entry and start, Bluetooth connectivity, a rear-seat DVD entertainment system and run-flat tires. The Technology Package bundles a navigation system, a lane-departure warning system and adaptive cruise control. Besides this, a sport Package that adds a sport-tuned suspension, 20-inch wheels, aluminum interior trim and a dark chrome front grille is also available. Inside the FX35, the cockpit has a sporting and intimate feel of a sports sedan. Overall, it bears the look of a great luxury sport wagon.

The safety features that come on the Infiniti FX35 include dual-stage front airbags, front side-impact airbags, full-cabin curtain-style airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners and load limiters, and active front head restraints. Some other active safety features include sophisticated anti-lock brake system with electronic brake proportioning, electronic stability control, and the rear-view TV monitor.
