The Infiniti FX45 Base for 2008: Improving on 2007
One of the staples of the Sport Utility segment is the Infiniti FX45. In the previous model year debuted a brand new version of the FX45 with one versions: Base. Sales for the FX45, especially the FX45 Base, were brisk during 2008 and 2009. The improved vehicle quality and the modern styling were responsible for the boost in sales.
Performance
The FX45 Base is equipped with a Nissan 4.5 liter eight-cylinder engine that utilizes 32 valves. The engine is mated to a Jatco 5-speed Transmission. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Infiniti.
The fuel system for the 2008 FX45 is a SFI design, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel flow is regulated by a electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The storage capacity of the fuel tank is 20.00 gallons.
Steering control is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The FX45 has power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. The truck uses coil front springs and coil in the rear.

The FX45 is 182.30 inches long, 71.00 inches wide, and 61.90 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 110.20 inches. It is able to seat 5 comfortably.
The listed retail price in 2008 (MSRP) was $32,700, with an invoice cost of an industry-average price. This price is slightly higher than the industry average price for a four-door Sport Utility.
