QX56 4WD
$58,150*

5.6-liter V8 engine

The QX56 gets its towing capacity thanks to a 5.6-liter V8 engine designed from the outset for heavy-duty applications. With a reinforced aluminum-alloy block, dual overhead cams, 32 valves and a forged crankshaft, it churns out 320 horsepower and 393 lb-ft of torque.

Infiniti All-Mode 4WD®

The All-Mode 4WD system constantly calculates the precise traction needed and reacts with millisecond response time. Set the dash-mounted switch to AUTO and the system continually adjusts the amount of power distributed between the front and rear wheels to help enhance control and acceleration. The system also lets you take control with settings for 2WD, 4WD High and 4WD Low.

Infiniti Intelligent Key for keyless entry and ignition

Without being removed from your pocket or purse, the Intelligent Key can unlock your door or trunk when you touch the sensor. Once inside, it lets you start the engine with a twist of a switch and can signal the driver's seat, steering wheel, pedals and mirrors to adjust to your memory setting.

Dual-zone front Automatic Temperature Control system with microfiltration

This feature lets the driver and front passenger set their own temperatures within the cabin. In addition, a sensor constantly monitors the quality of the outside air coming into the interior. An in-cabin microfilter filters the air you breathe inside your vehicle, helping to reduce road dust, pollen and other air pollutants.

Power-adjustable pedals

Tied to the vehicle's memory system, pedals automatically adjust to your presets when you turn on the ignition, giving you optimal comfort no matter what your size.

Front row 3-point height-adjustable seat belts with Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR), dual pretensioners and load limiters

In certain frontal collisions, front seat belt pretensioners are designed to take up a limited amount of slack in the shoulder belt to help minimize forward movement of occupants in their seats. Load limiters are designed to "give" a little, helping reduce belt-force load transmitted to front occupants.

LATCH System (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren)

For seating positions that have LATCH, anchor points are located in the lower outboard seating positions where the seatback and seat cushion meet and a top tether anchor is located behind the seat. They allow the placement of LATCH System child-restraint seats in the rear seat. LATCH System seats allow easy installation and secure attachment without the need for ALR seat belts or locking clips. They meet the new federal standards.

Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD)

Infiniti's Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) system detects vehicle-load conditions, such as passengers and luggage, and distributes additional brake pressure as needed.

Brake Assist (BA)

In emergency braking situations, many drivers don't brake hard enough, soon enough. Brake Assist monitors how you apply the brakes and, sensing emergency braking, helps apply maximum brake force for potentially shorter stops.

4-wheel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)

QX56's large, 4-wheel ventilated disc brakes include a 4-wheel, 4-channel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) to help the driver maintain steering control while braking.

Traction Control System (TCS)

The Traction Control System (TCS), integrated with Vehicle Dynamic Control, senses wheelspin during acceleration, automatically reduces engine output, brakes the slipping wheel, and helps redirect power to the wheel or wheels with better traction.

Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)

Acting in tandem with the Traction Control System, VDC[1] compares actual vehicle cornering performance to the driver's steering input, reducing engine power and/or applying appropriate brake pressure to individual wheels to help correct oversteer or understeer, helping to keep the vehicle on the steered path.

[1] VDC cannot prevent accidents due to abrupt steering, carelessness, or dangerous driving techniques. Always drive safely.

Vehicle Security System

The Vehicle Security System, which can be activated and deactivated using the remote control keyfob, will sound the alarm if intrusion via doors, hood or liftgate is detected.

[2] The rear sonar sensors are a convenience but are not a substitute for proper backing procedures. Always turn and check that it is safe to do so before backing up. The rear sonar sensors may not detect every object behind you.

[5] The RearView Monitor is a convenience but is not a substitute for proper backing procedures. Always turn and check that it is safe to do so before backing up. The RearView Monitor may not detect every object behind you.

[6] Air bags are only a supplemental restraint system; always wear your seat belt. Even with the occupant-classification sensor, rear-facing child restraints should not be placed in the front-passenger's seat. Also, all children 12 and under should ride in the rear seat properly secured in child restraints, booster seats, or seat belts according to their size. Air bags will only inflate in certain accidents; see your owner's manual for more details.

[7] VDC cannot prevent accidents caused by abrupt steering, carelessness, or dangerous driving techniques. Always drive safely.

[8] Tire Pressure Monitoring System is not a substitute for regular tire pressure checks.

[9] When towing at or near Maximum Trailer Weight, the allowable vehicle cargo and/or number of passengers is reduced because it is necessary to stay below the Gross Combined Weight Rating and the Gross Axle Weight Rating. See your Infiniti Towing Guide and owner's manual for proper use.

[10] May require additional options or option packages.
