| [[Nissan]] assembles the '''QX56''', a model of [[sport utility vehicle]], and offers it to the [[public]] under the '''[[Infiniti]]''' [[brand]]. It is based on the [[Nissan Armada]] full-size SUV, and shares the [[Nissan F-Alpha platform|F-Alpha]] platform with the [[Nissan Titan]] [[pickup truck]]. The QX56 competes directly with the [[Lincoln Navigator]] and [[Cadillac Escalade]] full-size body-on-frame luxury sport utilities, as well as the smaller [[Lexus LX|Lexus LX470]]. It is also pitted against the [[Mercedes Benz]] [[M-Class]] and [[Audi]] [[Q7]] SUVs.

| The truck is propelled by a 5.6 L ''[[Nissan VK engine|VK56DE]]'' [[V8]] [[engine]] (320 [[HP|hp]] [227 kW] @ 4,900 rpm and 393 ft·lbf torque @ 3,600 rpm) and a 5-speed [[automatic transmission]] with an overdrive. Each cylinder in the engine is lined with cast iron. The [[valvetrain]] is a [[DOHC]] design with four valves per cylinder. Infiniti designed the QX56's throttle responsiveness to correspond to specific drivetrain modes: when the driver selects all-wheel drive, the throttle becomes less sensitive, presumably to allow easier regulation of acceleration when off-road. The QX56 is the only full size luxury SUV to offer low range gearing for off-road use.

| The Infiniti QX56 has a 9,000 lb. towing capacity on two wheel drive models (8,900 on four wheel drive models). It comes in one trim level, with only key options such as: [[DVD]] entertainment system, [[Four Wheel Drive|4WD]] / [[Two wheel drive|2WD]], and a bench instead of captain chairs as the second row. Other features which come standard are a ten-speaker [[Bose]] system, [[DVD]]-based [[Navigation System|navigation system]], leather trim for all seats, dual-climate control, 18 in. chrome alloy wheels, and an [[adaptive cruise control]] system. The vehicle is equipped with standard safety features such as front, side, and curtain airbags, adaptive front head restraints, pretensioning and load-limiting seat belt retractors and collision avoidance features including traction control and vehicle dynamic control.

| As with the Nissan Armada, it is built in Canton, Mississippi; and is currently only available in the American and Canadian markets. It is also the first Infiniti built in the United States. Since priced lower than the [[Lexus|Lexus]] LX, the QX56 has become a success for Infiniti, outselling the [[Lexus|Lexus]] LX. The upcoming [[Lexus JX]] (which replaces the [[Lexus|Lexus]] LX) is expected to outperform the QX56 when it is released.
