So I'm aware there's an AWD and a RWD version of the FX35. How can I tell just by taking a quick look which version is which? Is there a badge or trim piece that shows that the vehicle is AWD?

I'm looking to get a 2005 FX35 AWD Sport + Tech. There's a dealer in my area that has one that's low mileage and is going for a good price.

Thanks in advance!

Hey there and Welcome to Nico. I apologize for the delayed response.

From the outside you will see axles going to the front wheels. If you get inside you will notice a Snow mode switch where the drivers left knee would be. Good Luck with your hunt and just a few quick things to look into before pulling the trigger. Getting a pre-purchase inspection at a reputable Infiniti dealer and while you are there they can look up all service performed at Infiniti dealers.(I do not know if thet use the same system in Canada, but I assume they would).Just an additional piece of mind.

Thanks for the reply, Steve.

Yeah I figured I'd have to look underneath to see axles and that's pretty much what I did.. lol.

I've already signed for one that I found that has passed saftey and is in great condition. hopefully I'll have it within the next week or so!

All wheel drives will have an indicater light in the dash that lights up when you start the car.Its a the letters AWD lit up in red you will see on all wheel drive models.
