It's not gonna happen. They're basically done with good cars :-( I've been an "Infiniti guy" since my '03 FX45. My '17 QX70 limited will be my last. My wife's 2019 QX50 lease couldn't be ending soon enough! (JUNK!!!!) The Genesis GV70 is the only true Asian replacement.
Have a 2015 QX70 myself and it's A LOT of fun. I threw on a cat-back exhaust and lowered it slightly. Sounds amazing now and handles much better. Like someone else stated, us the DS mode and the shifting points change. It's really quick btw 60-100 mph. ; )
I have worked at an Infiniti dealership for the past 5+ years. I have only I had one FX50 in stock since I have have been there and it lasted only a few days. They are beasts! I will let you if we ever get one available. BTW, this is a Deluxe Touring package: climate seats, upgraded leather seats.
Been waiting for this since I saw the video of you guys picking it up. I got a QX70 a few months ago, swapped all the interior lights for LEDs, and got a GROM audio system waiting to be installed this week
Infiniti is a great car, especially the FX/QX70. I enjoy driving my QX70 RWD everyday. Good and reliable car & V6 engine (powerful and nice engine sound), strong transmission system, good handling and an always special design (specially the front). It is focused on performance. 👍 Gorgeous car. #infiniti #fx37 #fx50 #qx70
@@Br99klynINg24_8 Honestly it is not the best option in Snow, RWD is like a road/sport car. I enjoy this car in normal conditions but in mud / snow the RWD version is not the best option. It has a "snow" button but it helps just a little bit. I like that car because the RWD give a sport car feeling but is not the best for Snow, but using chains or good winter tires would solve it.
I had a clean 1st gen Murano that got totaled by a deer so decided to upgrade to a 09 FX50S. I just had my local exhaust shop remove the factory resonators, replace the 2-1 Y pipe with a H pipe, replace the stock muffler with a dual inlet 50 series Flowmaster and kept the factory tips.
I am thinking about ditching the factory exhaust as well. I was thinking about Flowmaster but not sure what it will sound like with this engine. Can you tell me how you came to the conclusion for that setup? -Thanks
@@TheKroopView Drove it to my local exhaust shop to ask if they could just remove the secondary resonators and they said they could for $250 but suggested I replace the muffler with a Flowmaster unit he had in stock and do a proper H pipe from the cat back for $500 so I did it.
I have a 2013 fx37 100k limited edition AWD has the Pearl white paint with beige/off white leather interior. Absolutely love it. Has everything this one has except the cooled seats mine are heated only. Think I have the technology package as well. Grate kept I’m second owner I’ve had it just now a year any have only put 1000 miles on it.
nice ride! I am debating getting one. What is the cost of maintenance (ex. oil changes, replacement of parts like filters, or brakes)? Anything you wish you should have known beforehand? Thanks in advance.
I have a cousin who owns an FX35. It's very loud for a V6 engine. As far as I know, it's stock. BTW, Infiniti only changed the name of the FX37, they didn't discontinue the model after one year. They only changed their naming structure to use a Q for the sedans and coupes instead of G or M, and QX for their crossovers instead of FX, EX, and J (their largest SUV always used the QX name since 2004). It got confusing really quickly, and some people are still confused by that strategy.
Excellent review, your flow is really different than other reviewers and I really like it. You've improved significantly in this video compared to your earlier videos as well.
One note about the the available AWD for the FX37 (FX35, and QX70) was that it used Nissan's ATTESA AWD system. Rear wheel driving bias until slippage occurs in which it converts to AWD in 1/100ths of a second. It started being used in the R33 GTR, a true sports car.
These were pretty popular here in the Midwest. Im considering buying a 100k-150k mileage one. AWD. Living in snow it helps lol. Having a crossover rhat i genuinely need but with the heart of a Skyline/370Z/GTR (maybe it needs a turbo.... Lol) would be amazing. I feel like ill want to save and buy a Prius or Leaf to drive to work if I do tho lol.
And with Porsche Cayenne and alike. Other modern equivalents to it are Alfa Romeo Stelvio and Maserati Levante in most direct of ways down to being based on sportssedans.
That 2017 QX70 style grille on a 2013 FX37 looks so DOPE! Has anyone done this conversion? Is it actually the stock 2017 QX70 grille from Infiniti parts or is it a 3rd party aftermarket item? Does it fit flush without modifications? I am itching to do this modification if I can find the right parts.
In early december 2023 I sold my 2010 Lexus IS250 and was shopping for either a 2020 QX60 or 16-17 QX70s with low mileage. I ended up trading in my 05 Audi A4 cabriolet for a 2016 QX70s with 55k miles! Love the platform!
I just bought a QX70s and several things gave me scratching my head… but the burning question I have is:.. does the power steering feel very hard (almost like it’s not working) while at lower speeds?
The up-shift unbearable. I had an Fx50s and had to sell it because it affected the driving experience so dramatically. Good to hear someone else agrees because the techs and dealers wouldn’t
The bad ones were CVTs on the old Qx60 (not the new QX60) , Nissan Murano, an other models of the time. But this 7 speed (I own an QX70), is one of the most durable and reliable. This 7 speed is so strong that it is used also on the heavier QX80. 🙌😍

If you don’t mind me asking. When you guys flew out to GA to buy the car, how much did you pay for it? I’m looking at a 2011 35 this weekend and just want to be sure I’m getting a fair deal.
Hi i just see your review of the 2013 fx37 I have one like the one you was talking about and we love it also I have a 2003 infiniti fx35 and 2005 infiniti fx 35 and I love it all .you can come anf film thode SUVs
I bought some just like these and 2 things- 1-it’s just impossible to pull off the original knobs. So hard that I felt I was going to break it, so I never put the new ones one. 2-also, after the fact I saw a video where your aftermarket knobs you can’t push them anymore. Push as is on/off and auto climate control, which test sucks
Hi I am an owner of an Infiniti Fx37s 2009. I am trying to learn about the car. I obviously love it 😅 However I am a bit confused because when I try to find parts for it in the search engine it says that in 2009 only Fx35 existed and Fx37 starts from 2013. Now how do I search for the right parts ? If anyone could explain to me why this is the case I would be so grateful ❤
@@Mabeylater293 i have 2009 fx which was bought brand new back then. In the 13 years of ownership, i had to replace all shocks and a few control arms. The steering was leaking so had to be repaired. There were other minor repairs but that’s pretty much it. It’s very reliable
This car feels like a bulky g37 with a louder cabin and even worse gas mileage..... Stiff ride, old tech, and wasted space up front that makes it look and feel bigger than it is inside.
Infiniti needs to bring cars like this back. It will bring some excitement back to the brand.
It's not gonna happen. They're basically done with good cars :-(

Infiniti and Nissan overall are a shell of their former selves. Infiniti's current lineup is probably the weakest of any 'luxury' brand.
There still making it,it’s just called qx55
@@mikej6565When I saw the GV70 I was like that’s a great looking vehicle. Then I realized there was a lot of FX influence in it.
@jamarri6dagoat it's not the same thing, sadly. Front wheel drive, with a 2.0 turbocharged engine and a pretty bad CVT.

This was a pretty cool car back in the mid 2000s! It had that cool exhaust sound just like the G 35 and G 37!

That's kinda how I bought my 2016 QX70. Flew from Michigan to Kentucky, picked up at the airport by the dealer, then bought it and drove home.
I love my FX37. I have put about 40k on it within 18 months.
Transmission issues?
Thirsty? *laughs in premium drinking 31 gallon tank, 6.2 liter v8*😅😭
Great vid as always
This never competed with the CX-5. It comepted with the Cadillac SRX, Lincoln MKX, Lexus RX 350 & later the NX, BMW X3, Audi Q5, & Mercedes GLK/ GLC
And with Porsche Cayenne and alike. Other modern equivalents to it are Alfa Romeo Stelvio and Maserati Levante in most direct of ways down to being based on sportssedans.
Finally a Nissan/Infiniti BFB pass. 😁
Cars like the FX are missing in the Infiniti lineup.
What size tires do those GTR wheels have on?

If you're ever in Florida , you can review my 50
Always liked these cars since they came out
Just push the stick left to DS mode instead of D mode and do not touch paddles/stick and it will hold rev's higher.
been waiting for this one! i love the looks so much! how would you say the handling and engagement compares to a cx5 or an acura suv or something?
It feels larger than those, but much much sportier
It is larger than a CX5 or a CRV

Where did your friend get the rear diffuser from? That's not stock.
Were there transmission issues or am I thinking of a later transmission?
Not totally sure. I haven't heard anything bad about the 7 speed, but I could always be wrong!
The bad ones were CVTs on the old Qx60 (not the new QX60) , Nissan Murano, an other models of the time. But this 7 speed (I own an QX70), is one of the most durable and reliable. This 7 speed is so strong that it is used also on the heavier QX80. 🙌😍

The software isn't always great. I have an FX50 and the transmission often makes awful shifts. Going to take it in for a software flash
I used to own M37 and let me tell you, transmission was the least favorite part of M37. It did not go well with such a powerful engine.
