2013 INFINITI JX Press Kit: At a Glance

November 16, 2011

The all-new INFINITI JX is about to shake up the status quo when the innovative 7-passenger/3-row luxury crossover joins the INFINITI line-up in spring 2012 as a 2013 model. As a fresh, bold alternative to the many flavours of vanilla currently dominating the luxury crossover segment, the INFINITI JX is designed to excel in the areas that luxury crossover buyers desire most – interior flexibility and roominess, safety, and advanced hospitality features. The JX offers real 3-row utility, plus all the premium features, performance and innovations that INFINITI has become known for worldwide.

The new JX also offers a vibrant symphony of both luxury and style, highlighted by the new INFINITI design language direction that initiated with the Essence concept – as well as a suite of personal luxury accommodations.

Along with its standout styling and craftsmanship, the breakthrough JX design offers excellent legroom in all three rows, and ample cargo room behind 3^rd row. In addition, an innovative multi-mode middle seat design provides entry to the 3^rd row without removing the 2^nd row child seat.

The JX also continues INFINITI's tradition of developing world's first technologies, adding a new feature, Backup Collision Intervention (BCI), to the currently available Blind Spot Intervention™ (BSI) system. With this technology, when the transmission is in reverse, the JX will help the driver detect crossing vehicles and objects behind the JX, and, if necessary, the system can automatically engage the brakes to help avoid a collision.

Among the other advanced standard or available technology found throughout the new JX are INFINITI Connection telematics system with Google CalendarTM, and Drive Zone/Speed Alert; Around View™ Monitor (AVM) with Moving Object Detection (MOD); Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Lane Departure Prevention (LDP); Blind Spot Intervention™ (BSI) system; Intelligent Cruise Control (Full-Speed Range); Distance Control Assist (DCA); Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA) with Forward Collision Warning (FCW); Active Trace Control; Front Pre-Crash Seat Belts; and a Bose® Cabin Surround® 15-speaker sound system with digital 5.1-channel decoding and a new Acoustic Waveguide subwoofer.

The JX's interior design mirrors the seductive style of the exterior. Key design features include: the signature driver-oriented cockpit, finishers and satin pieces offering similar shapes and section, thin chrome accents, and an interior colour palette that provides an elegant colour harmony – Wheat, Graphite or Java leather appointments with Kasane Washi or available (through the Deluxe Touring package) Maple trim accents.

Offered with Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, the JX addresses the growing desire among luxury crossover drivers to have both responsive performance and good fuel efficiency.

The standard 3.5-litre DOHC V6 is mated to a sport-tuned Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) to provide high responsiveness and seamless, efficient shifting feel. The JX is the first INFINITI to utilize a fuel-efficient CVT. The CVT can mimic a step transmission when the Sport mode of the INFINITI drive selector is engaged. The CVT design also features a wide gear ratio and low friction design.

The engine is rated at 265 horsepower @ 6,400 rpm and 248 lb-ft of torque @ 4,400 rpm. The design includes a variable induction control system to improve volumetric efficiency at low and middle speed ranges, while a simplified belt layout (versus previous designs) improves maintenance and fuel economy.

Fuel economy is estimated to be rated at 8.5 L/100km highway, 11.5 L/100km city and a real-world 10.2 L/100km combined – while still offering the power to carry a full load or passengers and cargo.

The 2013 JX is offered in one fully equipped model – INFINITI JX35 AWD – and is manufactured in Smyrna, Tenn.
