Cars.com National June 25, 2012Vehicle Overview
Redesigned for 2011, Infiniti's enormous QX56 adopted the brand's styling to look more like its smaller cohorts. The standard 5.6-liter V-8 has direct fuel injection and makes 400 horsepower. The QX, available with rear- or four-wheel drive, can seat up to eight in three rows. It counts the Cadillac Escalade, Lexus GX 460, Mercedes-Benz GL-Class and Lincoln Navigator among its competitors.
New for 2013
The standard Around View monitor camera system adds moving object detection, and auto-dimming outside mirrors are a new standard feature.
