2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 vs 2013 Infiniti FX50S Mashup Review - TFLcar.com
It’s an unlikely comparison, this 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 vs 2013 Infiniti FX50S Mashup Review. The 2013 Infiniti FX50S looks more confused, like the offspring of Snooki and a puffer fish. Inside, the story changes, where the FX feels like a gentleman’s penthouse and the SRT8 a bachelor pad. Rich wood and quilted leather envelop the Infiniti’s interior, coddling its occupants with sumptuous furnishings. Under the hood, the SRT8’s 470-HP 6. 4-L Hemi should easily have trumped the Infiniti’s 390-HP 5. 0-L VK. Although the Jeep was fast and sounded fantastic, it lacked that last bit of “oomph” I was expecting for such a powerhouse. The Infiniti was a pleasant surprise, on the other hand, its violent bursts of acceleration provoking multiple belly laughs. While the Grand Cherokee SRT8’s adaptive AWD typically splits power 35%/65% front/rear, the FX50S’ ATTESA E-TS system channels 100% to the rear, unless it detects slippage. Slam the gas in either one around a corner, and the rear tires will light up – It’s just much easier to do very bad things in the Infiniti. Source: www.tflcar.com
