EuroNCAP’s awarded of the maximum five stars to the Infiniti FX. The high-performance luxury crossover from Japan is the first Infiniti ever to face EuroNCAP’s crash barrier. In the tests since 2009, EuroNCAP considers a new “safety assist” element in determining star ratings.
The FX recorded a remarkable 99% – a reflection of both its highly advanced safety systems and the fact that the majority of them are standard in every version. In this safety assist category, EuroNCAP awarded the FX extra points for its standard stability control system, seat-belt reminders for all seats and its driver-set speed limiter – all features present in every FX. In the crash tests, EuroNCAP awarded the FX 86% for the safety of adult occupants and 77% for the safety of child occupants, both figures demonstrating the integrity of the FX’s construction. Infiniti engineers made the new FX body particularly rigid, 1.6 times more resistant to twisting and 3.4 times more resistant to bending than the previous-generation model. Also contributing to the FX’s five-star result were its complement of front, side and head airbags, and ISOFIX child seat anchorage points in both outer rear seats.
