Reviews

"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)

"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"

ALG November 2010

"The new QX56 blends a luxurious and comfortable interior with cutting-edge technology and impressive power. These attributes were major factors int its finish at the top of the luxury fullsize utility vehicle category."

“If you’re in the market for a fullsize luxury SUV with all the latest technological wizardry designed to make driving it easier, look no further.”

“Is there a better SUV in this category? Perhaps not.” 

“There's lots of such technical and electronic wizardry to entertain and assist the driver even on the standard equipment list.”

“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.”  

“By far the most significant improvement in the 2011 Infiniti QX56 comes in the quality of the furnishings."

“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.” 

“…there’s a lot of luxury going on in the cabin.”

“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.” 

“And power they will have thanks to a direct-injection 5.6-liter V8 that delivers 400 horsepower.”

“The cabin is stuffed to the roof with Infiniti's latest electronics.” 

“Refinement is the keyword for the interior…”

“The QX is a deal compared with the Escalade, GL550, and Lexus GX460, and you’re getting more truck for your money than before.” 

“…it proved surprisingly nimble for rapid motoring on roads that would entertain a sports car or motorcycle pilot.”

“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.”
