Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Very good use of interior space, unique styling inside and out, powerful V8 engine.

Cons

Only seats four passengers.

What’s new

The FX45 is an all-new crossover SUV from Infiniti. It is performance-oriented, and therefore boasts V8 power, sharp handling and standard all-wheel drive.

Edmunds says

A stylish melding of form and function. More than just a tall station wagon, the FX45 has several unique features to recommend it to the pseudo-SUV buyer.

FX 45 Infiniti wonder-car

2003 INFINITI FX45 AWD 4dr SUV (4.5L 8cyl 5A)

We have put 101,000 miles on this car. We have not spent a single penny on repair. Not one. I am blown away. I ran it to Amarillo the other day, 90 MPH most of the way and pulled 19 MPG. This car is fabulous. It looks like a cat on steroids and handles like one, rain, snow or shine. Best car I have ever owned, and I have owned many.

Could never trade it in

It is the Liquid Cooper with brick/black leather, tech package. Regular servicing has been all that has been needed other than a couple manufacturer covered recalls. I went to trade it in a few times and could never bring myself to do it. It is a blast to drive and has been reliable. Have had it since new in 2003.

2003 INFINITI FX45 AWD 4dr SUV (4.5L 8cyl 5A)

After 210k miles it's time to say goodbye to a truly great vehicle. Lacking today's technology it retains its pure sex appeal and performance as a ground breaker in SUV Crossover design. My black on black beauty will be sorely missed. Not an easy drive out of the box but comfortable willing companion for the last 13 years. Stiff ride and sensitive throttle became a thrill. Always ready …

Where are you Cayenne ?

2003 INFINITI FX45 AWD 4dr SUV (4.5L 8cyl 5A)

Just pick up my FX45 and love it so far.!!..I drive a 00' Lincoln Navigator and was looking for something fun to drive ..yet not sacrificing going to a car. The FX45 handles superbly and hugs the corner as well as my brothers G35. It's exhaust system has a sweet sound that resembles the likes of a corvette. If your going to use the VPP, better get one fast before …
