Current Generation: 2004-Present

The truck is propelled by a 5.6 L VK56DE V8 engine (320 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, 4WD / 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, 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.
