Unfortunately, the FX’s chrome fender vents survived the refresh. The lower front fascia gets more visual oomph courtesy of thin bands of chrome outlining the fog-light nacelles. In addition to its new shape, the grille now is made up of thin chrome slats instead of black mesh. The 2012 FX’s new grille marks the biggest change, morphing from the 2011 car’s elegantly simple opening into a more aggressive, pinched form cribbed from Infiniti’s Etherea concept (which in turn borrowed its grille design from the Essence concept). This year, Infiniti carefully nipped and tucked, subtly tweaking the FX’s grille and front fascia while adding a limited-edition FX35 called the, uh, Limited Edition. When the current model was released in 2009, we ordered one up for a long-term test, and one of our favorite aspects was its sport-wagon-on-big-wheels look. The Infiniti FX is among the sportiest and style-focused crossovers, and while it can still turn heads three years after its last major redesign, it’s time for a refresh.
