Infiniti held a conference at Shilla Hotel in Seoul today where they unveiled the redesigned 2009 New FX crossover for the Korean market. The automaker simultaneously commenced sales of the car. The 2009 Infiniti New FX made its global debut last April at the Geneva International Motor Show.
The New FX is available in two configurations: FX35 and FX50. The former is propelled by a 307 horsepower 3.5L VQ35HR V6, while the latter gets a more powerful 390 horsepower 5.0L VK50VE V8 engine. Both powertrains are mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission. Both models also feature Infiniti's intelligent all-wheel drive system, dubbed ATTESA-ETS. To maximize handling, the New FX also packs Rear Active Steer (RAS). The New FX is also the first car in South Korea to feature the patented Scratch Shield Paint. The slew of technological innovations continue inside where the New FX benefits from items such as Infiniti's Around View Monitor, 11-speaker BOSE Premium Surround System, Advanced Climate Control System (ACCS), and a rear DVD entertainment system.
The FX35 is priced at 69 million Won (US$65,968). The FX50S is priced at 87.5 million Won (US$83,656).
