First launched in 2004, the QX56 is the first Infiniti built in the USA, but also the most expensive one sold in North America since the Q45 was dropped. It is only available on the US market, Canada and Saudi Arabia.

The QX56 is based on the Nissan Armada SUV and shares the same F-Alpha platform with the Nissan Titan. It is a direct competitor for the Lincoln Navigator and Cadillac Escalade.

The QX56 enters the 2007 model year with minor enhancements, most notably a power increase of five horsepower (from 315 to 320) and three lb-ft of torque (from 390 to 393). A new color, Pacific Sapphire, is also offered.

For 2007 model year, the QX56 is available in two-wheel and four-wheel drive models, both equipped with a standard 5.6-liter DOHC V8 engine, 5-speed automatic transmission, Sojourner leather-appointed seating, Infiniti Navigation System, Rearview Monitor, Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone System, power-operated tailgate and an independent rear suspension (IRS) with load leveling.

Since the introduction for the 2004 model year, the QX56 has become a benchmark in class, with standard luxury features such as front Active Head Restraints, Rearview Monitor and Rear Proximity Sensor, power folding outside mirrors with heat, electro chromic auto-dimming, power adjust and integrated turn signal, Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone System and mp3 playback capability.

“The QX56 offers the power, roominess, innovation and utility that SUV owners demand in their vehicles,” said Mark Igo, vice president and general manager, Infiniti Division. “The QX56 addresses the unmet needs in the SUV class admirably from a hardware standpoint. But it also asserts itself with tremendous luxury and style, more than with just its physical scale and capabilities.”

The eight-passenger SUV offers bold exterior styling, with a large, Infiniti-style grille, xenon headlamps and LED taillight treatment. Inside, the QX56 features a sophisticated and refined look and feel, ample 2nd row leg room, and a Bose premium audio system with 6-disc CD changer and MP3/WMA playback capabilities.

Exterior


If you are looking for something new and different then the QX56 is the perfect answer for you. It provides a perfect combination of practical elegance and ergonomic thoughtfulness with a rewarding level of comfort and indulgence.

The frontal view embodies a powerful presence, beginning with its large hood, Infiniti-style chrome "waterfall" grille and taut, barrel-shaped sides. The elegant front end design continues with jewel-like xenon headlights located low in the fenders, combined with the integrated halogen fog lamps. Large 18-inch tires are placed close to the edge of the wheelwells, enhancing the athletic stance, while the standard 7-spoke chromed aluminum-alloy wheels and chrome wheel lip moldings – connected visually by the standard body side cladding and running boards – complement the QX56's sophisticated luxury imagery.

The side view broadcasts a similar message: Infiniti-style LED tail and brake lights provide additional visual distinction. A power-operated liftgate with opening rear glass and a large bumper with integrated towing hardware (optional on 2WD) complete the rear exterior appearance.

The exterior design also offers a long list of additional features, including chrome front door handles, dual power-adjustable heated electro chromic auto-dimming chrome side mirrors with puddle lamps and integrated turn signal, privacy glass for the 2nd and 3rd rows and power-operated flip-out rear quarter windows.

Also standard is a Rear Proximity Sensor (back-up obstacle warning system) housed in the rear bumper.
