Infiniti QX56 - What the Auto Press Says
The QX56 has ample engine power, but its interior materials and cramped cargo room disappoint, and some might find the styling too boxy.
The Infiniti QX56 is an unremarkable-looking SUV that offers comfortable seating for seven or eight and a powerful, refined ride. Despite its somewhat bland exterior, the QX56 has good performance and reliability. As sales of large SUVs continue to slide, buyers should be in a strong bargaining position. However, the QX56 is near the bottom of the class when it comes to gas mileage, so anything saved of the sticker price will likely be spent at the gas station.
If you're interested in a large SUV, also check out the Cadillac Escalade and Toyota Land Cruiser. Both offer similar capabilities, but are more popular with reviewers than the QX-56.
- "Instead of heavy breathing and hey-lookit-me decoration, the Infiniti delivers impeccable manners behind a forgettable face." -- Car and Driver
- "The Infiniti QX56 is a full-size SUV that earns the title "awesome," because well, it is. This thing was awesomely huge, awesomely powerful, awesomely luxurious and awesome in its awesomeness. The QX was so awesome that my own awesomeness was in awe of the QX's awesome awesomeness - until, naturally, I found something to complain about. Then I felt better - awesome, in fact." -- Mother Proof
- "This big rig doesn't trounce its key competitors any more than does the less-expensive Nissan Armada upon which it's based. QX56 is a capable, albeit thirsty, SUV that also boasts the promise of kid-gloves customer service associated with a premium brand." -- Consumer Guide

QX56 Interior - 8.3 (Very Good)
The interior of the Infiniti QX56 has plenty of room and comfort, but some reviewers think the materials should be nicer for this price point. "There's seemingly enough room for an NBA starting team to stretch out," writes the Chicago Sun-Times, "although it helps to have NBA agility to climb in and out of this 78-inch-high vehicle."
