Up until recently, lovers of luxury vehicles with kids had to settle for the less-than-satisfying three row crossover vehicles . From the looks of it, Infiniti is about to send a heavy wave through the sector's admittedly boring waters with the 2013 Infiniti JX35. Put simply, Charles Barker Infiniti feels the refreshed JX35 is the answer to any style-driven, highly-functioning family's prayers.

In order to paint a satisfying picture for those in the Virginia Beach, VA area, we've broken down the new Infiniti JX35 in terms of design, performance, and features.

Design

Bearing a strong resemblance to its Infiniti relatives, the 2013 JX35 wears large, all-encompassing lines and a chrome-heavy chic. That's not to say this model doesn't stand out from the rest. A uniquely-constructed roof pillar and aggressive shark-nose grille help the model stand out not only from its new Infiniti vehicle siblings, but the rest of the crossover sector as well. Move inside and drivers will find themselves surrounded by rich materials and three spacious rows of seating.

Performance

To power the 2013 Infiniti JX35, engineers decided to go with the automaker's more modest VQ35DE 3.5-liter V6 engine. In comparison to the brand's larger options, this drivetrain might seem like a cop-out. But let Charles Barker Infiniti assure you, it's not. Rather the engine puts forth a satisfying 265 ponies and 248 pound-feet of torque while also delivering efficiency options like Eco mode and an amiable 23 mpg highway.

Features

Now here's where Infiniti really got down to business. On top of ample standard features, the 2013 JX35 offers Technology, Theater, and Premium Packages that bring navigation, in-vehicle entertainment, and safety amenities into the mix.
