Reviews

  • AUTOMOBILE Magazine August 2010

    "This interior has an attention to design detail and material finish that rivals Lexus and even Land Rover."
    "With this direct-injected mill under its expansive hood, the 5850-pound QX56 (down 161 pounds) can definitely move."
    "Perhaps the coolest feature is at once both an indulgence and a potential lifesaver." (tire pressure alarm/gauge)
  • Edmunds' Inside Line July 2010

    "Powerful, quiet, unflappable, well-appointed, family-friendly."
    "Direct fuel injection (DI) is one ingredient in the not-so-secret sauce that transforms last year's adequate port-injected 5.6 liter V8 into this year's powerhouse."
    "It packs a strong engine, excellent manners and a well-equipped cabin, and it's the most fuel-efficient of its peers."
    "The QX is a very good example of what conventional wisdom might call a "dying breed"

  • PopularMechanics.com May 2010

  • Automobilemag.com May 2010

    "Get into the cabin of a Cadillac Escalade after driving the new QX56, and its shapes, its forms, its surfaces, and its textures will suffer by comparison."
  • Edmunds' Inside Line May 2010

    "By far the most significant improvement in the 2011 Infiniti QX56 comes in the quality of the furnishings."
  • Motor Trend May 2010

    "Body roll is, indeed, minimal, especially for such a large, comfortable SUV. And it (Hydraulic Body Motion Control) keeps head toss down, as proven by short back-to-back drives of the new QX against an Escalade."
  • Motor Trend March 2010

    "…there's a lot of luxury going on in the cabin."
  • Motor Trend March 2010

    "Thanks to the major horsepower and body-on-frame construction, the QX can tow an impressive 8500 pounds in either rear- or four-wheel drive configuration."
  • Edmunds' Inside Line March 2010

    "And power they will have thanks to a direct-injection 5.6-liter V8 that delivers 400 horsepower."
  • Edmunds' inside Line March 2010

    "The cabin is stuffed to the roof with Infiniti's latest electronics."
  • CarandDriver.com May 2010

    "Refinement is the keyword for the interior..."
  • CarandDriver.com May 2010

    "The QX is a deal compared with the Escalade, GL550, and Lexus GX460, and you're getting more truck for your money than before."
  • PopularMechanics.com May 2010

    "…it proved surprisingly nimble for rapid motoring on roads that would entertain a sports car or motorcycle pilot."
  • PopularMechanics.com May 2010

    "Buyers looking for bragging rights in this segment might want to talk up the hydraulic body-motion-control system from the touring package, which replaces the antiroll bars with a hydraulic system connecting the shock absorbers side to side."
