2013 Infiniti JX35 Priced at $40,450
Infiniti has released the 2013 JX35’s full slate of standard features and options, reinforcing our initial opinion that this three-row crossover, which debuted at the 2011 L.A. Auto Show, is a good deal in this segment.
To recap, the seven-passenger 2013 Infiniti JX35 will start at $40,450, excluding a $950 destination charge. The large crossover is powered by a 265-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 and a continuously variable automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard; intelligent all-wheel drive is an affordable $1,100 option. Both front- and all-wheel-drive versions get an estimated 17/23 mpg city/highway, and premium gas is recommended.
In terms of pricing and features, the 2012 MDX is probably what Infiniti benchmarked when it designed the JX35; specs and pricing match up, though the JX is few hundred dollars less expensive when comparing features. The Enclave is comparable to the entry-level JX35, but it doesn’t offer the high-end safety or luxury features found on the top-of-the-line JX.
The JX comes well-equipped with automatic xenon high-intensity-discharge headlights, fog lights, power folding heated mirrors, power moonroof, power liftgate and 18-inch alloy wheels.
In the cabin, the JX gets an eight-way power driver’s seat, six-way power passenger seat, leather upholstery, heated front seats, a 7-inch display, iPod connectivity, a passive entry system with push-button start, and a tri-zone automatic climate control system.
In addition, you can add a stunning $12,760 worth of options to the JX35 when the vehicle is equipped to the gills, giving it a range-topping $54,220 price. That’s still less than the MDX’s top $54,455 price, however.
A Premium Package ($4,950) adds an 8-inch display, navigation, voice recognition, real-time traffic/weather information, Around-View Monitor, 13-speaker Bose stereo, Bluetooth streaming audio, driver’s seat lumbar support and maple wood trim accents.
A Theater Package ($1,700) can be added to the Premium Package and includes dual 7-inch color monitors in the second row, wireless headphones and a remote control.
A Driver Assistance Package ($2,200) adds adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, blind spot warning, heated steering wheel and remote engine start; you must have the Premium Package to add this package.
A Deluxe Touring Package ($2,550) adds 20-inch wheels, a 15-speaker Bose audio system, ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats and rain-sensing wipers. The Deluxe Package can’t be combined with the Driver Assistance Package.
A Technology Package ($3,100) adds lane departure warning, blind spot intervention and pre-crash seat belts (you must add the Premium, Theater, Deluxe and Technology packages to have this package).

You have to add a $4,950 package just to get Bluetooth (which should be standard)?
@Anonymous Coward Bluetooth is standard; Bluetooth streaming audio isn't.
BT streaming audio should be standard too in this class. This is an all new product afterall and that features is standard on numerous affordable cars. Also ridiculous that you have to spend $46k to get remote start on this CUV.
BT streaming audio is a software feature that shouldn't cost anything to add if the car already has BT.
WAY TO GO infiniti...I have already seen a car hauler of these north bound on I 65 thru Kentucky Just north of Nashville.. cant wait to get my hands on one..
The mdx is dated so this will likely get customers who want the newest thing out there. Enclave will be updated next year as well.
I really like the pricing on this car. The only package you really need is the Premium package. So about $46k MSRP. The other packages are way ahead of their time.
The current Acura MDX is outdated (you can't get push button start at all!). This JX will kick butt until the new MDX comes out in 2013.
FYI. The remote start can be added to any JX model now. It is not just restricted to the Driver's Assistance Package.
Given all of Honda/Acura's "new" products, I doubt Infiniti will have to worry. All of the latest Acuras and Hondas have been underwhelming, and the competition has alrwady passed. The new MDX probably will be a disappointment like the TL, RLX, etc. Not only is the current MDX outdated, it's ugly too. Acura only sells as many as they do beacuse it's one of the cheaper 3 row SUVs
Bought our jx35 couple wks ago. Very happy overall compare to all the other one (mdx/q7/enclave). However I think the premium should have auto wipers as a standard feature.
