Model profile

Model history and generations

Model history and generations

The JX arrived as the JX35 for the 2013 model year, Infiniti's first purpose-built seven-seat crossover on Nissan's D platform, closely related to the Nissan Pathfinder of the same era. It was a single model year under the JX name: for 2014 Infiniti's new alphanumeric naming scheme renamed it the QX60, with essentially the same body and mechanicals.

Powertrain and equipment

Engines, drivetrain and trims

Engines and drivetrain

The JX35 uses Nissan's well-known 3.5-liter VQ35DE V6, producing roughly 265 hp and 248 lb-ft. Power goes through an Xtronic continuously variable transmission (CVT). It was offered in front-wheel drive or with Infiniti's Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, which can direct torque to the rear axle when needed.

Which trim makes sense

The JX came only as the three-row, seven-seat crossover. Equipment was organised around option packages — Premium, Premium Plus, Theater, Technology, and Deluxe Touring — rather than distinct trim names, so a well-optioned JX can carry navigation, a surround-view camera, adaptive cruise, a backup collision intervention system, and rear entertainment screens.

Vehicle selection

North American market and suitability

Supply on the US market

Because the JX name applied only to 2013, the used pool of true JX badged cars is a single model year, though the near-identical QX60 that followed is plentiful.

Who benefits from importing

The JX suits a buyer who wants a comfortable, quiet, seven-seat luxury crossover that is genuinely uncommon in Germany.

Pre-purchase review

Model-specific inspection points

Known weak points and maintenance

JX reliability centers on two components. The VQ35 V6 is a long-proven engine and is generally durable, needing routine maintenance rather than major repairs. The Xtronic CVT is the part that demands attention: these transmissions are sensitive to heat and fluid condition, and neglected units can develop shudder, whining, or premature wear.

Germany and Europe

Differences, adaptation and registration

US and EU spec compared

As a US-market vehicle, the JX carries American lighting with amber markers, a mph-primary cluster, US emissions calibration, and a navigation system with North American maps only.

TÜV, modifications and registration

For approval, plan lighting changes first: headlamp beam pattern, side-marker treatment, and adding a rear fog lamp where required. The odometer and speedometer must present kilometers.

USCar Trader services

Inspection, purchase processing and escrow

As a buyer based in Germany, you do not have to inspect the vehicle yourself in the United States or Canada. Within the agreed scope, USCar Trader can coordinate document review, a separately commissioned on-site inspection and purchase processing.

  • Vehicle profile and history: The profile can show the VIN, US title status and available history records. No data source guarantees that every earlier event was reported.
  • Optional CARFAX report: Additional reported maintenance or service entries can be included. The report is not a complete service book or proof of every interval.
  • On-site inspection / USCT AutoCheck: USCar Trader can arrange a separately booked vehicle inspection. Agreed visible and accessible areas are documented. Road or functional tests require suitable access and seller approval; the visual review is not a lift inspection or workshop diagnosis.
  • Purchase processing and escrow: After approval, USCar Trader can coordinate seller contact, negotiation, contract and the escrow and import service. Fees, payment route and responsibilities are recorded in advance.
  • Recalls: Open safety recalls can be checked by VIN through the NHTSA recall search; they do not describe overall condition.

Covered inspection points are agreed in advance. An on-site inspection records condition at the appointment and is not a guarantee.

Next step: Before commissioning, USCar Trader and the customer agree which document, history, inspection and transaction checks suit the vehicle and are included in the service. This records what was actually checked.

Questions and answers

Common questions about importing this model

Is the Infiniti JX the same as the QX60?

Effectively yes. The JX35 was renamed QX60 for 2014; the 2013 JX and early QX60 are mechanically the same vehicle.

Is the JX reliable to import?

The VQ35 V6 is durable; the main consideration is the CVT, which needs documented fluid servicing to stay healthy.

Was the JX sold in Europe?

No. It was a North-America-focused model, which is part of its rarity as an import.

Does this vehicle automatically qualify for a 0% import-duty rate?

No, not automatically. A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU. CETA may apply to a vehicle with preferential Canadian origin. Whether the requirements are met is assessed for the individual case. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review the possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are assessed separately.

How is import VAT treated when importing a Infiniti JX?

Import VAT and other taxes or costs are assessed separately under the applicable rules and the circumstances of the individual case. A blanket answer for every vehicle would not be reliable.

What is the biggest thing to check on a JX?

The CVT. Confirm regular fluid changes and drive the car to check for shudder, whine, or hesitation.

How many seats does the JX have?

Seven, across three rows, with a sliding second row for third-row access.

How long does importing take?

Usually several weeks, mostly set by shipping schedules and customs clearance.
