2011 QX56 Exterior Features
The QX is totally redesigned from the platform up. Its new frame structure enhances ride comfort while reducing noise, vibration and harshness. The new 5.6-liter V8 engine combines the responsive acceleration of Infiniti’s VVEL technology with the efficiency of Direct Injection Gasoline and 7-speed automatic transmission. With 400 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque, the QX can handle tasks such as towing boats or trailers, while also offering excellent fuel economy.
The exterior design is dynamic, its size capable of transporting eight adults and their belongings with spacious elegance. It has a bold front chrome grille and automatic on/off bi-functional xenon headlights.
Other exterior features include LED taillights, power-folding sideview mirrors with integrated turn signals, courtesy lights and reverse tilt-down feature, running boards, integrated front and rear splash guards built into the wheel arches, roof rails, power sliding tinted glass moonroof and a power rear liftgate.
The new QX is 1.4 inches longer, 1.1 inches wider and 3.8 inches lower in height than the previous generation.
Extensive efforts were taken in the development of the QX frame and body to reduce flex, rattles and squeaks. The new platform can handle family adventures to rugged terrain without compromising its smooth ride for around-town cruising.
2011 QX56 Powertrain
The VVEL engine system combines hydraulic-controlled variable valve timing and electronically controlled variable valve lift on the intake side to help improve performance and response. Throttle response has been enhanced, emissions are improved, as well as fuel efficiency.
The new 7-speed transmission boasts a wider range of gear ratios, a variable lockup torque converter, an improved shift schedule and an automatic transmission fluid warmer to reduce fuel consumption at startup.
A great feature on all QX models is Hill Start Assist. If a driver stops on a slope and steps off the brake pedal, the system will keep the car stationary for a few seconds with no rollback. This enables drivers to switch from the brake pedal to the accelerator on steep inclines.
New QX56 Suspension and Brakes
Also, a new Hydraulic Body Motion Control system uses hydraulic cylinders at the shock absorbers to help reduce body lean while turning for a more comfortable ride.
The QX’s suspension is an independent double-wishbone design front and rear, with Dual-Flow Path twin tube shock absorbers, stabilizer bars and an automatic rear leveling system that maintains uniform ground clearance and departure angle by automatically adjusting the air pressure in the system’s air bladders.
Braking is provided by 4-wheel disc brakes with Anti-lock Braking System and Electronic Brake Force Distribution. Vehicle Dynamic Control and 2-wheel or 4-wheel Active Brake Limited-Slip are standard. Engine-speed-sensitive power steering is also standard.
Luxurious QX56 Interior Appointments
The interior is comfortable, with personal controls for every occupant. It holds up to 8 passengers on leather-appointed seating. The driver’s seat is 10-way power adjustable, including 2-way power lumbar support. A standard dual occupant memory system is on the driver’s seat, steering wheel and outside mirrors. The front passenger’s seat is 8-way power adjustable, including 2-way power lumbar support. Heated front seats are standard, with available climate-controlled front seats and heated second row seats. Also standard is a heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel. The third-row seat flips up and down making room for various cargo loads.
Additional features include nine cupholders, Tri-Zone Automatic Temperature Control, Infiniti Intelligent Key with Push Button Ignition, FineVision electroluminescent gauges and Infiniti signature analog clock.
Among the new QX’s available premium entertainment and technology features are an 8-inch WVGA color touch-screen display, Infiniti Controller for use with vehicle information systems and comfort and convenience features, and the Infiniti Hard Drive Navigation System with XM NavTraffic with Real-Time Traffic Information, XM NavWeather with Real-Time Weather and 3-day forecast, and Zagat Restaurant Guide. Bluetooth Hands-free Phone System is standard, as is the Around View Monitor with Front and Rear Sonar System.
The Bose 2-channel, 13-speaker Premium Audio System includes two subwoofers. Roof-mounted third-row speakers ensure that sound quality is not compromised by obstructions such as luggage or cargo. Other standard equipment includes a single, in-dash CD/DVD player with MP3 playback, XM Satellite Radio, USB connection port for use with iPod Interface or other compatible devices, and Streaming Audio via Bluetooth.
The available Theater Package has dual 7-inch color monitors, two pairs of wireless headphones, wireless remote control, auxiliary input jacks and 120V power outlet. The QX allows playback of games or movies in the rear, while front occupants listen to audio all at the same time.
Infiniti QX56 Industry-Leading Technology & Safety
The 2011 QX offers a range of advanced technology systems including both Infiniti’s Lane Departure Warning and Lane Departure Prevention systems. They help warn drivers of a potential unintended lane departure with a visual indicator and audible buzzer.
