2010 INFINITI FX: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026

The 2010 INFINITI FX is a light-update year rather than a redesign. The main change is standard Bluetooth hands-free calling and a USB/iPod connection across the lineup.
About the 2010 INFINITI FX
2nd gen FX (2009-2013), second model year.
Infiniti marketed the FX as a performance-first luxury crossover: a dramatic, low-slung SUV that borrowed the feel of a sports sedan more than the priorities of a family hauler. Its appeal was strong engines, sharp steering, standout styling, and upscale technology, with room for five and useful cargo space as a bonus rather than the main mission. Compared with more practical rivals, the FX sold attitude and driving enjoyment first.
The FX35 is the balanced core model, with a 303-hp V6, leather seats, Bose audio and a rearview camera. The FX50 is the more powerful and better-equipped version, pairing a 390-hp V8 and AWD with navigation, a 360-degree camera system and climate-controlled front seats.
