About the Infiniti QX56
|
There's a chance the Infiniti QX56 will not go down in history as the best-looking vehicle from the big sport utility era. Even with its 2008 revisions, it looks almost as awkward as its name sounds, but it does all the things a large SUV should. For 2008, the QX56 gets several midcycle revisions: The front and rear fascias are new, though the designs aren't much changed. The grille is new, as are the fog lights. The roof rack is revised, and 20-inch wheels become standard in place of 18s. Inside, the instrument cluster is new and the 60/40 split third-row seat adds a power folding feature. Other newly standard features are Nissan's Intelligent Key keyless access and starting, XM real-time traffic for the navigation system, and a Burr-Brown audio system with a 9.3-gigabyte Music Box hard drive. The optional rear entertainment system also gets a larger, eight-inch screen.Click here to read more

Quick Drive: 2008 Infiniti QX56 4WD
The QX56 is big, powerful, and relatively easy to maneuver through tight streets, unplowed parking lots, and past hillclimbing slow movers; it's got enough luxury to make you feel special, while including just about every interior and performance convenience you could want. If you're looking in this segment, the QX56 has the goods at one of the lowest price points around. There certainly is value here.

2008 Infiniti QX56 Review
The Infiniti QX56 offers exceptionally good off-road capability and a strong towing capacity. Driven on freeways and backroads where a vehicle this size is most likely to be driven, it's surprisingly and refreshingly responsive and surefooted. It's hard on gas, though, so you might want to consider any of the new crossover SUVs if towing capacity isn't important.
