2011 fx35
Hello!

I'm new here and a soon to be FX35 owner :) I've been looking around for a 2011 or a 2012 FX35 AWD and i've been wondering what are the differences between the two years? I know mechanically, they are identical, but aside from that, what's different?

So far I know the following:

- Interior lighting is orange (2011) vs blue (2012)
- Front grill
- Wheels

Anything else?

Thanks in advance! Looking forward to joining the FX community! :)
 
The fog lights are chrome trim on the 12 compared to black on the 11.
 
The design around the front lights is different between the two years. Also the fact that interior lighting is orange for 2011 and 2012 is blue, i think is incorrect, because my 2012 came with orange lighting before i replaced them. Also the display for 2012 on startup i think is different than 2011 but i may be wrong.
 
I think he means the led display between the speedo and tach. It changed to blue and white from orange and red in the 2012 models.
 
The 2011.5 model wit electronic liftgate does not have AV inputs in the center console. I was so mad when I purchased and I found that out. I think that every other FX year has them, including the 2011.0. Just not the 2011.5 for some stupid reason.
 
Yeah, I have the .5 with the lift gate and no AV inputs. I get more use out of the life gate so it doesn't really affect my usage. I do wish we had auto windows for all four instead of just the front though.

That's the reason why I ended up trading in my fx for a 2012
