2012 INFINITI QX56

The 2012 Infiniti QX is designed to attract and hold viewers' attention, conveying its underlying sense of power and strength. The styling is dynamic, its size capable of transporting up to eight adults and their belongings with spacious elegance, and its drivetrain rugged enough to handle tasks such as towing boats or trailers (8,500-pound towing capacity, when properly equipped).

Enhancements for the 2012 model year include the addition of Blind Spot Intervention to the Technology Package, the addition of the Bose Cabin Surround sound system with 15 speakers to the Deluxe Touring Package, the addition of heated second row seats and remote tip-up second row seats to the Theater Package and the addition of headlight washers to the QX56 2WD Deluxe Touring Package.

A standard V8 engine rated at 400 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque combines the responsive acceleration of Infiniti's VVEL (Variable Valve Event & Lift) technology with the efficiency of Direct Injection Gasoline and a 7-speed automatic transmission.

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. Every 2012 QX comes with 20-inch, forked 7-spoke aluminum-alloy wheels with all-season tires.

The QX's world-class inner sanctum offers a comfortable space and personal controls for every occupant. It features standard 7-passenger seating capacity, with 8-passenger capacity available with the 2nd row 60/40-split folding bench seat. Leather-appointed seating is standard for all three rows.

The Around View Monitor is standard on the QX. The system provides the driver with a virtual 360-degree view of their vehicle to aid in parking situations.
