The Infiniti FX is a mid-size luxury crossover SUV, currently sold in two models: the FX35 and the FX45.

With the FX45 crossover, Infiniti sought to combine sports-car performance with SUV functionality. The FX45's 4.5L V8 generates 315-hp (235kW) and is coupled to a five-speed automatic transmission that incorporates a manual-shift mode. ATTESA-ETS All wheel drive is standard, and the FX45 has a sport-tuned four-wheel independent suspension. The FX35 uses a 3.5L V6.

The FX series was updated for 2006 with new options and standard features. The FX35 now has leather seats, a power tilt/telescope steering wheel and a rear view camera with a color screen standard. The FX45's V8 engine was also uprated to 320-hp (239kW) and it gets a standard sunroof, Bluetooth system, rear view camera with a color screen, and aluminum roof rails.
