2004 Infiniti QX56 Review
All-new full-size luxury SUV is quiet, powerful and spacious.
2004 QX56 Review Summary & Specifications
The 2004 Infiniti QX56 is and does everything Nissan wants the new full-size SUV from its luxury division to be and to do. It raises the bar in dimensions and styling, outside and inside, and in power and drivetrain. None in its price class touch its off-road capability.Driven the way and where a vehicle this size is intended to be driven, it's surprisingly and refreshingly responsive and surefooted. In sum, the QX56 comes out of the gate as a contender the competition had best be prepared to deal with.
