Bold, Powerful & Efficient - 2011 Infiniti QX56 SUV
It starts with a breathtaking presence, a calm strength derived of clean, fluid lines that attract and hold your attention. It continues with the highest level of luxury, not just for the driver and front seat passenger, but all occupants - world class, personalized control over their environments for passengers in every seat in the house.
The 2011 Infiniti QX is conceived to attract and hold viewers' attention, conveying its underlying sense of power and strength. The design is dynamic, its size capable of transporting up to eight adults and their belongings with spacious elegance. The bold front chrome grille is flanked by automatic on/off bi-functional xenon headlights with windshield wiper interlock and integrated front fog lights. Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS) with auto-leveling headlights and headlight washers are also available.
Other exterior features include LED taillights, heated, power-folding sideview mirrors with integrated turn signals, courtesy lights and reverse tilt-down feature, body color running boards, body color integrated front and rear splashguards built into the wheel arches, roof rails, power sliding tinted glass moonroof and a power rear liftgate.
Power for the next-generation QX56 is generated by a new VK56VD 5.6L V8 prime mover that features Infiniti's advanced VVEL (Variable Valve Event & Lift) technology and new Direct Injection Gasoline (DIG(TM)) system. The standard seven-speed automatic transmission features Adaptive Shift Control (ASC) and manual shift mode with Downshift Rev Matching (DRM). With a 25% increase in horsepower, the 2011 QX also boasts an 18% improvement in highway fuel economy over the previous model.
The QX is offered in rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive, with the 4WD model featuring Infiniti's proven All-Mode 4WD system with Auto, 4H and 4L modes. The system is designed to distribute torque to all four wheels when road conditions warrant (up to 50 percent can go to the front wheels on demand), helping to enhance traction.
The second-generation Infiniti QX56 has been totally redesigned from the platform up. Its new high-stiffness frame structure enhances ride comfort while reducing noise, vibration and harshness. Structural changes include a new high-stiffness frame structure with enlarged side rail section width, redesigned connecting structures between each cross member and side rails, an integrated rear hitch member, improved stiffness of the cabin mounting points and a special rear body ring structure around the tailgate.
The QX's control hardware features an independent double-wishbone design front and rear, with Dual-Flow Path
