I'm sincerely sorry. I did not want. Having turned out of the turn of the forest road, I saw hunters on the side of the road loading a carcass of a shot animal into the trunk of an old Niva. After a second, they were left behind in a trail of dust raised by the Infinity-JX35. They did not dare to shoot after: painfully expensive, in their opinion, was a car.
In the two days spent in Hungary, I did not see a single Lexus or Infinity, and I met new Mercedes and BMW only a few times. But even richer Western Europe will not accept such a large and wasteful car with a 3.5-liter V6 petrol and five meters in length. Therefore, in addition to North America, JX will be sold only in the hydrocarbon-rich Middle East, China and, of course, in Russia and Ukraine.

TRANSMISSION HUNT
Intellectually, before the hunters it was necessary to slow down, but, having flown out from behind the trees directly onto their car, I did not manage to do this. As before I did not have time to react to the rather large pits that suddenly appeared under the wheels - they simply got lost in the shadows cast by the forest. But Infinity steadily and gently worked out the blows streaming onto its 20-inch wheels.
A slight confusion, and after the next jump, I again gained speed under the buzzing of the 3.5-liter “six”, quickly brought to the maximum by a CVT, which is trained to simulate the steps of nonexistent gears. This technique slightly dilutes the monotony of the soundtrack - it can be enhanced by independently sorting through the "speed". It’s only a pity that closer to the maximum, the variator itself goes to the “transmission” above. Moreover, due to its specificity, it does this so inconspicuously that, approaching a turn, you count on a third included in advance, and on the display - bah! - the number 4 has already been highlighted.

Alternately choosing the reaction mode of the gas pedal and transmission with a round shifter between “standard” and “sport”, I noted that in the latter, the machine predictably reacts more eagerly to gas. Yes, and the lower steps are held longer. But there is no fundamental difference in these modes. Unlike the next position - “eco”, when the car “shuts up” as if they instantly clogged four of the six cylinders.
Actually, no extreme big seven-seater car and do not. Even the location of the mode control knob clearly hints at its secondary nature - it is placed so uncomfortably between the front seats that you can not see it. And after some time you completely forget about its existence. And rightly so, there is nothing to indulge when there are five more people sitting behind you, buried in two monitors of the entertainment system.
EVERYTHING IS EVERYBODY BUT CHEAPER

The fact that JX is a clear premium, you immediately understand, appreciating the wood finish on most versions (in the base - aluminum panels) and an impressive list of standard equipment. Almost everything for which on other models of this class (for example, Audi-Q7) must be paid extra is already installed here, and for a much lower price. For the Japanese crossover, created on the Nissan-Murano platform, in the minimum (but not at all poor) configuration, 2, 350, 000 rubles must be paid. The cheapest German counterpart is 400 thousand more expensive. The only reproach is that the cheapest JX does not have an infotainment system with a large display. But leather trim, electric tailgate and seat adjustments, full seven places are always there.
The space in the second row is simply magnificent. That's just the shape of the parts of the sofa separately adjustable in length and inclination of the backrest is too flat. Obviously not for fast driving on winding roads

The car was carefully converted from US standards (where this model is produced and mainly sold) to Russian. They didn’t seem to have forgotten anything: they installed stiffer springs, xenon headlights, without which cars could not be sold at more than a million and a half rubles in Russia, the automatic light beam corrector and washers accompanying them, and the rear fog lamp. Even the "skirt" under the front bumper was cut by 30 mm. Only the socket with household voltage remained overseas - with strange for us 120 volts and flat connectors. But it’s perfect for charging the iPhone brought from the United States.
There simply cannot be claims to the volume of the cabin and trunk. The middle row is divided in a proportion of 60:40, set on a slide, has individually deflectable backs and, if necessary, to penetrate a very decent third row, it easily moves forward, freeing the passage. But the main advantage over competitors is the absence of a tunnel on the floor: nothing prevents the average passenger from living quite comfortably along with their neighbors.
We’ll get to the third row seats without any problems - for the sake of a better pass, even the seat cushion is automatically pressed to the back. But you have to return it back manually

BIG BROTHER
Four-wheel drive here does not give the driver any opportunity to interfere with his settings. The back moment is delivered only when the front wheels slip, that is, almost always the front-wheel drive car.
The suspension is also the most ordinary, without any pneumatics. The crossover is always perceived to be the same, since price variations are due only to “comfortable” options. An engine with 262 power, a variator and four-wheel drive is the only option for the power plant and transmission. But by the end of the year they promise a hybrid version. However, given the fact that the main drive is front-wheel drive, the JX's driving style is safe and precautionary. And if anything, the stabilization system will almost imperceptibly work out the problem and, if necessary, will help to turn the car into a turn, adding a moment back.

Although at first you doubt it. A steering wheel that is too light at city speeds, exhausting everyone except for the lucky one behind the wheel, swinging on a broken road makes one think that this huge car cannot live without a myriad of additional electronic systems. They are present, but for the most part they do not directly affect driving, but only insure the driver from various careless actions - reckless rearrangement in the next row, non-observance of the distance, parking problems and other things. Indeed, in the USA, the JX is mainly recommended as a car for wealthy housewives, and they, you know, cannot do without helpers. And JX also used such a wonderful and not yet commonplace option, such as preventing a collision with a person or object when reversing: in case of danger, the device will stop the car without the participation of the driver. And this is in the presence of a circular view and cameras around the perimeter!

A full set of electronic nannies will raise the maximum price of the car to 2 870 000 rubles. German companies for the money offer only the most affordable versions of crossovers. There is reason to think.
FIXED BELIEVE
I have never written about a car whose name will be forgotten almost immediately after the debut. It's about the name, the car itself will remain. Imposed on top by the newly appointed brand management, the emergency renaming of the entire Infinity model line has stunned not only me, but also Nissan brand premium sellers. The Infinity hierarchy has just settled in the consciousness of the European and Russian public, where G stands for the middle class, M stands for the business class, EX stands for the small crossover, FX stands for the sports all-wheel drive, QX stands for the large all-terrain vehicle, and here it is, all over again. Now, passenger models will be denoted only by the letter Q, which was once worn by a large executive sedan that lost foreign markets. And the designation QX will receive crossover and all-terrain vehicles.

In this article, I also call the new product the old-fashioned index JX35, under which it only went on sale. But do not forget that very soon it will become the QX60. Now the two-digit number in the designation of the model does not have a connection with the displacement of the motor, but simply reports the status of the model - the steeper, the larger the numbers.
