  • Great - 2011 Infiniti QX56
    By -

    Considered the Lexus, Range Rover, MB GL and there was not even a comparison in my mind.

  • Incredible new vehicle without peers - 2011 Infiniti QX56
    By -

    Love this vehicle. It is without peers. Owned a 2008 QX and loved its size, luxury and reliability but this new design is an upgrade across the board. More power 400 HP with 0-60 in 6.2 seconds yet fuel economy is improved by 2 mpg both city and highway due to smooth 7 speed transmission. Had seen pictures of the vehicle and wasnt sure about styling but in person it is awesome. More luxury, more features, more distinct exterior looks and move luxurious interior. Awesome with no price change on base model

  • Nice vehicle, BUT - 2011 Infiniti QX56
    By -

    Car has an unbelievable amount of wind noise coming from roof area at highway speeds. Complained to dealership and they stated that this was average for an Infiniti product. If this is average, I will never by another. Also, vehicle has developed a surge when at a stop. Was told that a recall was coming on the transmission. Brought the car in to be looked at, no code on computer so Infiniti will not replace the transmission. Nice design, but Infiniti needs to work on quality if they want to be in the luxury car market and compete with the BMW and the rest of the big boys.

  • New QX - 2011 Infiniti QX56

    Ive owned Yukons, Denali XLs, Escalades but this is the best SUV Ive ever owned by far. Wow!

  • JUST SUPERB...best lrge luxury SUV! - 2011 Infiniti QX56
    By -

    First time owning an infiniti. I tried all the large luxury SUVs (with over a day of driving each prior to my decision). I can honestly say the QX is THE BEST out there, and for the money- its an incredible deal. -Not top heavy like the lexus -Not like driving an unresponsive, boat-like piece of fluff like the escalade/ yukon/ suburban. -Much cheaper than the lrge comparable mercedes SUV and even nicer/sleeker interior -I was nervous- going from a sporty bimmer to this yet, I have never looked back!! If your in the market for a lrge luxury SUV with incredible style, yet one that has enough brawn to pull your boat, or horse trailer or whatever- LOOK NO FURTHER.

  • just like a oversized crossover - 2011 Infiniti QX56
    By -

    I have 2,200 miles on this SUV and most of all from what I can see this vehicle is almost perfect in every way compared to others in the same price range. Torque from the 5.6 Liter is simply Awesome !! in combination with its 7 speed transmission .. as some of the negative issues I read before my purchase they are so minor. The loud fan noise is something you might hear on cold starts for only 5 sec and dissipates quickly. ... What wind noise !! this thing is very Lexus quiet and smooth at hwy speeds . I do find the base interior to be actually more comfortable and better looking choice of wood accents than the optional upgrade. Feels much like driving my Infiniti FX45 but larger. Love it!

  • Fantastic - 2011 Infiniti QX56
    By -

    For the price, build quality, and performance, this vehicle blows away the competition. Interior in simply loaded with amenities, which are well positioned and easy to use. Drivetrain is equally impressive. I disagree with editors review-I think the ride quality is great My biggest complaint is the lack of a removable center console or sliding second row seats for easier entry into the 3rd row. 2nd row seats flip forward, but if you have car seats installed in both captains chairs, the 3rd row cannot be accessed without climbing through the back hatch or over the console. The console is held in place by 4 screws and metal tabs which can be removed, leaving 4 small slits in the carpet.

  • Best of the Large SUVs - 2011 Infiniti QX56
    By -

    Excellent ride, power, performance. Traded 07 QX56 which was hard to give up, but what an improvement in ride and overall quality, fit and finish.

  • Infiniti Consumer Affairs? - 2011 Infiniti QX56
    By -

    With 1500 miles, airbag sensors needed to be replaced in passenger seat. Horn honks at random times. Called Infiniti Consumer Affairs and have been put through the ringer! Obviously an electrical glitch somewhere, vehicle has been in the shop for 2 weeks! Very disappointed with Infinitis support on a $65,000 vehicle! Buyer Beware!

  • 30k miles update - 2011 Infiniti QX56
    By -

    Flawless thus far, at 30 miles. Plano, Tx has discovered this great upscale/affordable, luxury SUV. Love the technology, have delux touring, technology and required Entertainment to get the other two. The blind spot warning is great as well as the feature that slows you when you are approaching a stopped vehicle. Helpful without being intrusive and you can turn it off or on too. Hydraulic suspension option is nice too, no head toss at all in this comfy SUV... had a puppy who got car sick in my luxury cars but not in this smooth riding vehicle... No issues and plan to keep it a long long time... 4 wheel drive works great too, handles ice and big wheels/tires handle bumps/pot holes but smooth
