Infiniti FX37 test drive since 2010 SUV
"The exposure of the shoe." Krassh/Test drive by the Infiniti FX45 car, 2005
What epithets did not award the Infiniti FX45. In this strange list there is a baseball cap, and a shoe, and Kedik. Not surprising, because this car hides several characters in itself. It is worth starting at least with the fact that outwardly the car is an SUV, but the rest of its brothers in the classroom is absolutely not similar. He looks like a FX45 on the predator of the cat family, who at any moment is ready to make a fateful jump for his victim. Moreover, the similarity is so strong that it seems that the animal nature is about to prevail over common sense and the car without the help of someone will make this mortal throw. Almost everything in his appearance speaks of aggressiveness FX45: narrowed eyes-fara, a huge radiator grille with a proprietary sign of Infiniti, as well as two peaks of the exhaust system and even the rear lights with the same animal squint. But huge 20-inch wheels with rubber are especially striking, the profile of which is clearly different from most analogues installed on SUVs. In general, the appearance of this Infiniti can be discussed almost endlessly, but besides obvious advantages like bright, attractive, sports and aggressive design, there is one more, which, in our opinion, blocks all the others. It is worth taking off the hat in front of designers and developers for the fact that the car turned out to be unlike any of the existing cars, and it appeared back in 2003, and you still will not confuse it with any other car in the stream. He has an individuality that is valued not only in people.
But in the salon, the feeling of delight is not that it disappears, but the euphoria slowly comes to naught. Of course, the interior decoration looks gorgeous, but all the time the feeling that the interior of the car for $ 82,900 should surprise something, leave some trace in memory, and not just become one of hundreds of salons of other cars. On the other hand, such an attitude can be called small nit -picking, because almost all modern technologies are present in the car. So, for example, I was very pleased with the DVD player with a screen that sinks from the ceiling, especially for the rear passengers. A great way to take children or friends on a long trip. It is pleasant that the steering wheel drops and rises with the dashboard, that is, the situation in which the steering wheel will block the devices excluded. The Bose musical system will delight lovers of good sound. And the fact that the car belongs to the luxury class will say stylish mechanical watches a la paths Bentley. To say that the chairs are very comfortable and with the help of all kinds of adjustments it is easy to find the optimal position, it is not even worth it. The disadvantages can only be attributed to a rather confusing control of the on -board computer, in general the presence of a large number of buttons and buttons, the purpose of which you do not understand immediately.
However, all the nit -picking and enthusiasm for the salon are forgotten, you just have to start the engine and press the gas pedal. It was then that a strong beast wakes up that he froze before a fatal jump. It is such predatory dynamics that buyers from the car are waiting for
such an aggressive appearance. Motor with a volume of 4.5 liters and a capacity of 328 hp. expectations are not deceiving. This SUV easily makes you forget and imagine yourself in a speed sportkup when the first gas is pressed, because the FX45 tears a hundred in 6.8 seconds. A 5-speed automatic checkpoint installed on this car is worthy of separate laudatory words. In manual mode, the machine does not make a decision for you to switch the next program for you. Here you can spin the engine before cutting off and stay in the same gear, because of this you feel the car almost as well as in the presence of manual transmission.
Despite the fact that the suspension of Infiniti FX45 is quite soft (this is on 20 discs!), The car still holds the road very well and does not roll in the turns, and practically does not swing. It is a pleasure to maneuver at speeds even about 200 km/h: the car willingly are driving. By the way, the thoroughbred voice of the beast is very colorful, but manifests itself only at high speeds.
Unfortunately, the stars turned out so that the Infiniti FX45 test drive was destined to turn into a Crash test. This happened due to the fault of the driver of the VAZ-2112, which jumped out into the oncoming lane and at 70 km/h checked the left side of the subject of Infiniti, which thoughtfully sneaked along the street at a speed of 20 km/h. The blow fell into the front wheel on the driver's side, as a result of which the 20-inch disk cracked, but was avenged, since half of the front part of the vase turned into porridge. Despite such a force of impact, the opened side pillows, including the upper curtain and a pillow jumped out of the side of the seat, saved the driver, and the seat belts with pretensors additionally helped to avoid serious injuries. Your humble servant turned out to be protected, not even suspecting an impending danger. True, the test drive had to be finished, since the crippled FX45, of course, was able to leave the battlefield only with the help of the tow truck. One thing is clear, Infiniti SUV is definitely not to go hunting and fishing, and not to transport a huge amount of all kinds of utensils to a country house. This is a city car for those who follow their image and do not save on gasoline. On 100 km, the motor eats about 20 liters of fuel. But this does not scare the people, otherwise from where there are so many identical models on the roads. In general, this car is called an SUV only because of the appearance, and a sportkup lives inside it, which wakes up immediately after the first good press on the gas pedal. And its popularity is easily explained, since this car has only one impracticality of this car, and in the rest of the qualities, Infiniti FX45 has very few rivals.
