Infiniti FX45 Concept Vehicle Redefines ‘Crossover' SUV Category With Emphasis on On-Road Performance
Infiniti has a tradition of bringing new dimensions to existing model segments: the original Q45 brought a new level of performance to the large luxury car market, G20 added a taste of sport and luxury to small cars, and QX4 brought a new dimension of luxury to the luxury SÚV market, even before that segment truly existed.Enter the FX45 Concept vehicle, a new type of Infiniti concept created to take on the rapidly expanding 'Crossover Luxury' SÚV market. The FX45 Concept vehicle features V8 power, all-wheel drive, exceptional performance and distinct interior and exterior appointments.

The FX45 Concept vehicle features V8 power, all-wheel drive, exceptional performance and distinct interior and exterior appointments. FX45 Style, Inside and OutThe low-slung FX45 Concept vehicle combines the best sport utility vehicle qualities, including optimized space utilization, four full-size doors for passenger entry and a large rear hatch for cargo with sports car styling — a low slung, wide stance and huge wheels and tires. Inside the leather-appointed passenger compartment, personalized zones call out specific areas, unlike a traditional SÚV, which is usually wide open and formless. The driver's zone, maximized for the driver's enjoyment, features integrated tilt steering and instruments, as well as a 9.5-inch LCD monitor that provides functions for the advanced navigation system, HVAC controls, audio controls, Infiniti Communicator, Internet and E-mail access. The front passenger zone has its own climate controls for maximum comfort. The rear zone, for rear seat passengers, features a DVD player, video game system and a rear water bottle cooler. The entire interior is covered with Alcantara fabric and solid aluminum parts, giving the FX45 passenger an exciting contrast of warm and cool design cues.FX45 Performance
'FX45 Concept vehicle performance target is far above that of the current crop of SÚVs,' said Orbe. 'Instead, we targeted large sports luxury cars, such as the BMW 7-series, Lexus GS430 and our own 2002 Q45.
