| No hybrid models are currently available of the QX56, nor are there plans to introduce one.
| |
| | |
| == Unique Attributes ==
| |
| * Throttle response tailored to engagement of four wheel drive. The throttle becomes less sensitive allowing more delicate use of torque in off road conditions.
| |
| * 9000-lb towing capacity (8900-lbs on 4WD models)

| 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 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.
