The truck is propelled by a 5.6&nbsp;L ''[[Nissan VK engine|VK56DE]]'' [[V8]] [[engine]] (320&nbsp;[[HP|hp]] [227&nbsp;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 LX]], the QX56 has become a success for Infiniti, outselling the Lexus LX.  The upcoming [[Lexus JX]] (which replaces the Lexus LX) is expected to outperform the QX56 when it is released.
