2012 Infiniti QX56 Review - Digitaltrends.com
With any large-and-in-charge luxury SUV, the question for many buyers is not how much gear you can stash in the rear compartment, how loud the multi-speaker surround system is, or even how many people can cram into the second- and third-row seats. In that regard, the 2012 Infiniti QX56 is like adding an exclamation point to your bottom line. And we do mean monolith: The QX56 stands a full 6. 3 feet tall, including the roof rack. We’re talking massive in every way possible: huge 20-inch tires, a 5. 6-liter V8 engine with 400 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque, and a mood-altering 13-speaker Bose surround system. Priced at $75,340 as reviewed, the QX56 for the 2012 model year is also a bit shocking for your pocketbook. In a curious specification war, the 2012 version of the Escalade is actually a tenth of an inch taller than the QX56 (hint: no one will notice). The Escalade is not quite as wide, though — 79 inches compared to 80 inches for the QX56. The Escalade has a bigger engine – a 6. 2-liter V8 at 403 horsepower and 417 lb-ft of torque. Yet the QX56 beats the 2012 Cadillac Escalade on towing capacity at 8,500 pounds, compared to 8,300. Performance The QX56 drives like a tank, but that’s actually a good thing if your goal is to lumber along in style. Source: www.digitaltrends.com
