PEBBLE BEACH, CA - The JX Concept is a preview of Infiniti’s new 2013-MY seven-passenger, three-row luxury crossover, slated to join the lineup in spring of 2012. The automaker said it plans to release its full specs at the LA Auto show later this year. Nissan said the JX is designed to excel in interior flexibility and space, safety, and innovative “hospitality” features.
The performance information Nissan has provided so far say this model will have a V-6 engine and all-wheel or front-wheel drive. It’s also the first Infiniti model to use a continuously variable transmission. The automaker said the CVT will mimic a step transmission when the driver engages the Sport mode of the Infiniti drive selector.

Beyond what Infiniti expects will be class-leading interior space, the JX features a second row seat design that tilts and slides forward for third-row access. In terms of safety, the JX will offer the company’s available Blind Spot Intervention and a new feature called Backup Collision Intervention. This feature will allow the JX to detect objects crossing behind the vehicle when the transmission is in reverse. The system will automatically engage the brakes to avoid colliding with whatever’s behind it.
An interior feature of interest to busy executives would be the Infiniti Connection Telematics system. It can synch a calendar and provide navigation guidance to appointments. The vehicle will also feature the Infiniti Personal Assistant, a concierge service that gives access to a team of professional assistants. This benefit comes free of charge with every 2012 Infiniti vehicle purchase.

As fleets rethink how they capture, manage, and act on vehicle data, telematics is at a major inflection point. In this episode of the Fleet Forward Podcast, we dive deep into one of the most pressing questions facing fleet leaders today: Should you rely on OEM factory-installed connectivity, aftermarket devices, or a hybrid of both?
Experts from telematics analytics, fleet-as-a-service operations, and national EV benchmarking share how real-time data is reshaping fleet strategy—dispelling assumptions, validating best practices, and exposing costly missteps.
A powerhouse panel featuring experts from the American Automotive Leasing Association, CalSTART, and municipal fleet leadership dives into the realities of navigating shifting emissions rules, regulatory waivers, federal agency actions, the future of the EPA’s endangerment finding, and the push for unified standards.
