You can now inspect the car at the Infiniti Center Kuala Lumpur. It is located at Chulan Square, 92 Jalan Raja Chulan, 50200 Kuala Lumpur and is open daily from 10.00am to 7.00pm.
The 2012 Infiniti FX comes with a 320hp 3.7-litre 24-valve DOHC V6 engine with Continuously Variable Valve Timing Control System (CVTCS) to achieve a top speed of 235 km/h and 0-100 km/h in 6.8 seconds. This engine is paired with a refined 7-speed automatic transmission featuring Downshift Rev Matching and Adaptive Shift Control (ASC) with solid magnesium paddle shifters.
Under FX’s polished, assertive styling is an equally advanced body structure, offering room for five adults and the capacity to hold four full-size golf bags. FX utilizes the rigid FM (for Front Midship) platform architecture, with a balanced front-to-rear weight distribution to help provide exceptional handling performance.
The 2012 Infiniti FX is also offered with Intelligent All-Wheel Drive which uses an advanced torque split control strategy that automatically redistributes torque to the wheels (0:100 up to 50:50 front to rear) according to road and driving conditions, double-wishbone front/multi-link rear suspension for responsive yet comfortable ride and firm, tight handling. Braking is provided by 4-wheel ventilated disc brakes with Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Brake Assist (BA) and Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD).
The FX’s aggressive styling has served notice of its performance underpinnings with its long hood, stretched wheelbase, short front and rear overhangs. The pronounced performance appearance also features fog lamps and iconic High Intensity Discharge (HID) bi-functional xenon headlights. The aggressive silhouette is highlighted by a strong front-to-rear shoulder line, tight greenhouse, kicked-back roofline and integrated rear spoiler. The large LED taillights extend beyond the body, helping create aerodynamic downforce, while large dual exhaust outlets with chrome finishers cap the action-ready appearance.

The FX interior provides a warm, inviting environment, highlighted by a driver-oriented cockpit with intuitive controls, advanced audio, navigation and technology – ranging from a Bose® 11-speaker Premium Audio system to the Intelligent Cruise Control (Full-Speed Range), and Around View® Monitor (AVM) system utilizing four small superwide-angle cameras – mounted on the front, side and rear of the FX – to provide a virtual 360° view of objects around the vehicle, helping to maneuver it in tight spots. The system uses advanced image processing to combine the images from the four cameras and provide a unique “Birds-Eye View” of the vehicle’s surroundings.
Hospitality features include the Infiniti Intelligent Key with Push Button Ignition and Sequential Welcome Lighting Illuminated Entry system that starts with turning on the outside mirror courtesy lights as the driver approaches the FX and continues to light key areas as driver and passengers settle into the interior.
The FX offers an array of available advanced technology systems, including Distance Control Assist (DCA), Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Lane Departure Prevention (LDP), and Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA) with Forward Collision Warning (FCW).
The 2012 Infiniti FX is offered in 7 exterior colors: Graphite Shadow, Malbec Black, Umbria Twilight, Liquid Platinum, Black Obsidian, Midnight Mocha, and Moonlight White.
