Infiniti QX
Select a Year
(2 available)
The 2011 overhaul of the QX56 SUV left little need for further tweaking. New features are found in packages: The Technology Package brings now-ubiquitous Blind Spot Intervention and a system to keep you in your lane. The Theater Package gives second-row heated seats, and there's a new Bose Surround Sound System for the Deluxe Touring Package.
If you're looking for a well-equipped and comfortable vehicle that can haul up to eight passengers in luxury and tow your boat to the river, the 2011 Infiniti QX56 may just fit the bill.
Infiniti's mammoth QX56 plays in the same league as the Cadillac Escalade ESV and Lincoln Navigator L. You won't find anything of this size from Lexus, BMW, Mercedes-Benz or even Land Rover, making the QX56 the only real import alternative to the large domestic luxury choices. Based on the Nissan Armada, the QX56 is given enough chrome, leather, wood and power accoutrements to satisfy the most demanding luxury SUV buyer. Beyond its luxury features the QX56 actually has a utilitarian side, offering seating for eight, a 320-horsepower V8 engine and a tow rating of 9,000 pounds (8,900 on the four-wheel-drive model).

"This car is great on the highway, smooth powerful and very quiet compared to other large SUVs I drove (Escalade, Rover, GL550). Gas mileage is around 14-15 around town and 17-18 on highway. Interior design is beautifully done. 360 degree view cameras are a nessecity on this thing for parking! Parking sensors could be placed better or have centerline sensor added. I went withe 20" wheel package as it drove smoother and quieter than the 22" wheel set up. I lost out on the vented front seats, but is is a better ride."

Love my 2012 QX56 even more than the 2006 I traded

"I loved my 2006 QX and didn't want to trade it in because I didn't think the new model could top what I already had. Once I got the 2012, I was totally blown away. The ride is significantly improved and the car drives like a sports car, only higher off the ground. Doesn't feel like it will tip over as much as the older one did. I love the cameras since it's tough to park such a big vehicle, especially in a tight garage at home. Also love the lane departure and the blind spot warning features; both are very helpful with my daily commute. The interior is much improved over the 2006 and the seats are really comfortable. Love the addition of heated and *finally* cooled seats too. Sound system is top notch, too. The only negative so far is the absence of the big center console (what my husband called the "junk drawer") but have learned to live without it. Great all around beautiful SUV. I can't imagine how it could be improved, but I said that when I bought my first QX."
