Road Test

The QX is a large, plush, quiet, and well-equipped SUV that is cumbersome to maneuver and ponderous to park. The 400-hp V8 churns out admirable thrust, channeled through a seamless, seven-speed automatic transmission. Climbing aboard takes dexterity and it's hard to access the small third-row seats. A more serious detriment is emergency handling. When pushed to its limits, the QX leans a good deal and the tail can start sliding out disconcertingly. Though it didn't do anything dangerous, it bred very little confidence.

Model History
2011-
Current Generation

With the 2011 redesign, the big Infiniti moved to a new platform. It also became a plush luxury liner with a quiet, well-equipped cabin and a supple, steady ride. However, its high step-in, ungainly handling, and fuel economy of just 15 mpg overall are detriments. Standard safety features include stability control, traction control, and antilock brakes. Options include blind-spot warning, adaptive cruise control with automatic braking and lane-departure warning. Infiniti changed the QX56 name to QX for 2012 and 2013 model years. The name changed again to QX80 from 2014 onward.

2004-2010
2004 Redesign Year

Infiniti's full-size SUV offers a luxurious interior with navigation as standard equipment. The V8 engine is smooth, powerful, and linked to a slick five-speed automatic transmission. The QX56 features an independent rear suspension system, and its handling is remarkably responsive for a vehicle this large and tall. However, ride quality is stiff and engine noise is quite pronounced. The interior is spacious, but the third-row seat is small. The 2008 model year brought some updates to the interior.
