The second generation of the Infiniti FX was unveiled at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show. For the first time, it was prepared to be sold in Europe, with diesel engines.
The FX was not a small SUV and while on the U.S. market was not a problem to be fitted with a large gasoline engine, the Europeans preferred a diesel version. That is why the 2008 FX was well equipped with fuel-efficient engines and, much more important, 7-speed automatic gearboxes.
The design was very bold, featuring an angled, shark-like front fascia. The small cabin with a rounded roof was inspired by sports cars. The 3D grille design was far advanced on those times and the headlights resembled the eyes of a Great White shark.
The interior was luxurious, fit for a premium SUV. For the contact zones, there was natural leather while on the lower and side parts of the seats, man-made leather was used. The infotainment unit was an evolution from the system developed for the Nissan Primera but with a color display and a world-first 360 degrees view.
The platform was heavily revised, with a double-wishbone in the front and multi-link in the rear. There was an option for rear-wheel steering too, in the S versions (FX37S and FX50S). An adaptive Continuous Damping Control was on the options list.
