The imposing QX56 is the largest SUV from a Japanese manufacturer.

Overview Information

As the first full-size SUV from Infiniti, the QX56 is sized comparably with the domestic competition. With a bold, angular front fascia and curved roofline, the QX6 certainly stands out from the pack. Room for up to 8 passengers is available with the optional 2nd row bench seat.
