NASHVILLE, Tennessee — In a huge down market for SUV sales, Infiniti has raised prices across the board on its redesigned 2009 FX50 and FX35. The 2009 Infiniti FX50 all-wheel-drive model starts at $57,515, including a $815 destination charge — $6,600 more than the outgoing 2008 FX45 with the smaller 4.5-liter engine.
The 2009 Infiniti FX35 and 2009 Infiniti FX50 go on sale on June 24.
Infiniti said the base price for the rear-wheel-drive version of the 2009 FX35 starts at $41,765, including shipping. That is a $2,900 increase over the comparable 2008 FX35, which started at $38,865.
The 2009 Infiniti FX35 with all-wheel drive has a starting price of $43,165, including shipping. That reflects a $2,800 increase over the comparable 2008 FX35, which started at $40,365.
The 2009 FX50 AWD gets a 390-horsepower 5.0-liter DOHC V8 linked to a new standard seven-speed automatic transmission. The 2009 FX35 models get a 303-horsepower DOHC 3.5-liter V6 linked to the new standard seven-speed automatic transmission.
Infiniti said the optional sport package, which is only available on the 2009 FX50, costs $3,000. The package bundles continuous dampening control with auto and sport modes; rear active steer; adaptive front lighting system; auto-leveling front headlights; sport-style front seats; driver seat with power bolster adjustment and thigh support for driver and passenger; dark-tinted headlights, side air vents and lower side trim.
The optional $2,900 technology package includes intelligent brake assist with forward collision warning, a lane departure prevention system and lane departure warning system, pre-crash seatbelts, intelligent cruise control, distance control assist and rain-sensing front windshield wipers.
What this means to you: Expect to pay substantially more for the '09 FX50 than you did for the outgoing model, even in an era of soaring gas prices. — Anita Lienert, Correspondent
