Infiniti FX37 test drive since 2010 SUV
Diesel Infiniti FX
Diesel sabotage in the premium camp. The new three -liter engine for Infiniti FX ... Do I have to cry about the death of the Infiniti brand? We will refrain from this. Although they rolled up to diesel engines, and, who knows, maybe not far off the release of three -wheeled drives and pedal tarantasses.
No, it’s better to keep silent. Trite, uninteresting. What is the difference what is available under the Infiniti brand? Why not diesel? Electric motors will also come up soon. However, we remember this brand as a manufacturer of incendiary gasoline bombs. It is gasoline. What diesel diesel is V10 or V12? No impossible. Not at all. Lexus, for example, forgot about diesel fuel and relies on hybrids. Why did Infiniti need this experiment? Actually, a three-liter Nissan diesel is cooler than a similar Toyota engine, maybe they ignore a hybrid direction? Nissanovsky unit Gora-a-A-ZDO faster. He runs to hundreds in 8.3 seconds, and with the Toyota engine Infiniti would have traveled more than 11.
Premium. On off -road, it looks approximately like a submarine in the steppes of Ukraine
Alcoholic with a turbine
Infiniti Mark Processing. It is bought so that if you do not blow up, then at least shake the reality around you, let small tsunami. Is Diesel capable of serving this field? There is a chance. They put similar motors on Mercedes ML and nothing, the audience travels, everyone is satisfied. True, the audience is different. The diesel ml for fat financiers, those about which you can’t say for sure whether they go to bed at nine in the evening in pajamas or only after eight cans of beer in an unconscious state. They are women or former prosecutors. Everything is covered with mystery. Infiniti is more frank. He is not for a mythical character in an alcoholic T-shirt and a watch with a turbion. He generally is the projection of the owner’s appearance: everything that you can say about the appearance of FX will be true about its owner. The design is above all, and diesel has nothing to do with it. The motor does not play any role. However, would FX be originally so popular in Russia if I had not hidden fifty -liter lighters under the hood? Could reach the level of a half -cult vehicle with a tractor unit?
What else does?
Despite the complete absence of ergonomics, the Infiniti interior invariably gives joy and light
Fascinates in turns
Nissan marketers behave strangely. First, they work on the image of a daring chassis with a pronounced rear -wheel drive accent, which depresses in the winter on ice, but fascinates with virabs with dishes. Then they put the wide wheels, such that when braking, you need to cheerfully work as the steering wheel, compensating for the departments of the body. In other words, they do everything to be known as the obstacles of the auto industry. As a result, the spiritual brotherhood of Infiniti fans already resembles a sect. Such, you know, the simple sect of car owners who are addicted to peep behind hermaphrodites frolic in a bath with quail fat, or arrange the spirits of the spirits of Eric Kurmangaliev and Boris Yeltsin in the tunnels near the Sparrow Mountains. And at the peak of this paranoia, Nissan introduces a three -liter motor with black fuel, almost removed from the corn combine. I can imagine the faces of the feast of the feast. No, the Infiniti diesel engine is not good, and we will no longer about it. Stop talk about this.
Circles before my eyes. Take off the blue backlight and devices will completely lose their individuality
Oblomovism
It remains only to drive on the new three -liter FX. Feel what and how, and tell you about your feelings. I sit down, conquer a motor, food and well, no way. The sound of a strained diesel rumble. The gasoline engine sings much more beautiful and nicer. Where did the nobility go? In all this venture with the unit on diesel fuel, there is some unnaturalness, as if pulled a balloon on the globe. I already wrote about this diesel when we tested Nissan Pathfinder. He has his character, like Oblomov’s: maybe, but he doesn’t particularly want. He would be imposingly to trace ... He is great for a universal SUV, but for a premium crossover ... Yes, he has a big plus he eats a little, less than 12 liters per hundred, but he pulls the toraador, on which the owner is pulling as a projection FX, German rationality is not to the face. Maybe, after all, in vain, the Infiniti brand ignores the topic of hybrids?
