2013 INFINITI JX: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for 2013 is the arrival of the JX itself: this is the first year of an all-new three-row INFINITI crossover.
About the 2013 INFINITI JX
1st generation JX/QX60 (2013-2020), first year.
INFINITI positioned the JX as a premium family SUV more than a sporty image piece. The focus was roomy three-row seating, easy everyday usability, upscale materials, and safety-minded innovation, especially the easy third-row access design and available driver-assistance technology. For most shoppers, the JX’s appeal was combining real seven-passenger usefulness with a quiet, upscale cabin and a strong list of standard comfort and convenience features.
INFINITI positioned the single JX35 trim as a family-focused luxury crossover with an upscale cabin and seating for seven. Leather seating, heated power front seats, a power moonroof, and a power liftgate are standard. Its standout family feature is a sliding second row that preserves third-row access with a child seat installed.
