Infiniti Introduces the 2004 Qx 56 Full-Size Luxury SUV

The all-new Infiniti QX56 full-size luxury sport utility vehicle joins the growing lineup of powerful rear-wheel and all-wheel drive Infiniti vehicles in the spring of 2004. It becomes the first Infiniti model assembled in North America.

The QX56 is designed to provide luxury on a grand scale, with eight-passenger seating (seven-passenger with 2nd row captain's chairs), standard features such as leather-appointed seating and DVD-based navigation system, advanced technology and a powerful V8 engine and an independent rear suspension (IRS) with load leveling - which contributes to the QX56's comfortable, composed ride quality.

Every QX56 comes equipped with a standard 5.6-liter DOHC 32-valve Endurance V8 engine, producing 315 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque, mated to a refined 5-speed automatic transmission. All QX56 all-wheel drive models feature an advanced, All-Mode full-time design with infinitely variable torque split (maximum 50:50 front/rear).

The new QX56's advanced safety technology features include standard supplemental curtain air bags for side impact and rollover protection for all three rows, Advanced Air Bag System (AABS), side-impact supplemental air bags (front seat mounted) and Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system with Active Brake Limited Slip (ABLS).
