In the tradition established by General Motors and Ford, the first generation QX56 was sibling of the Nissan Armada with more luxurious appointments and a higher price tag. The latest QX56 sheds its ties to the Nissan Armada and Titan becoming a unique vehicle that Infiniti now imports to the US market. While the styling may be different, its capabilities are unchanged. With a bold, angular front fascia and curved roofline, the QX56 certainly stands out from the pack. A 400-bhp 5.6L V-8 provides enough grunt for towing up to 8500 lbs. Both 2WD and 4WD models are available. The QX has the size, power, technology and luxury to compete with the Cadillac Escalade, while undercutting its price by thousands.
