The QX56 is a very reliable vehicle with a smooth ride and tons of room.
I love the size and space in our vehicle. I love that the seats all lay down and provide a huge amount of storage and hauling space and I love that we are able to tow our camper with our vehicle. This is a a rugged yet elegant vehicle.

The Comfort of a Infiniti QX56
My Infiniti drives great even with it being a older model, I love the black leather seats, very roomy and comfortable. I be hitting 90 to 100 mph without even realizing it. My only problem is that my upper console fell down, it was a clean break from around the bolts, the part itself cost $779-$1400, way too much for this to be an older model vehicle. This piece control my sunroof and rear air conditioner so I'm not to happy about that, can't even find it at a pick a part/junk yard.

Engine Is Great And Low Maintenance
I think it's a really good car, muscle and horsepower, engine and other stuff it has is upgraded. I like how fast fit goes and how low maintenance is. I think anyone would love this car. It's a great car. Especially for first time drivers. It's so easy to drive.

Luxurious SUV with amenities that make it great for families.
Great vehicle for hauling multiple passengers as well as cargo. Handles quite well for being a large vehicle. Rider comfortably, even for taller drivers and passengers. Looks and feels luxurious. Never had any major problems from bumper to bumper. Love all the features such as backup camera, DVD player, heated seats - front and back, heated steering wheel, GPS, CD player, etc. Interior is gorgeous with leather upholstery and wood finishes. Drives well in all weather and temperatures. Live in an area with extreme weather changes and it handles it all with ease. Starts up no problem when the temp is below zero, or over 100. Drives great in snow, ice and rain.

My Infiniti is a very good car.
My Infiniti is a great car, it has over 250, 000 miles and still runs great. Very comfortable and very spacious. I have not run into many problems with this vehicle. Although, it does cost a lot to keep this car filled with gas. Overall good vehicle.

No need to use a rental car.
I love my vehicle and have not had any major issues with it. I've ever driven several hundreds of miles to the beach a few times each year and it's been reliable.

It has great legroom in the back seat and is roomy enough for 3-4 kids
It is great for transporting my three kids and all of their stuff! Roomy enough for adults in the back rows. Sometimes it feels almost too big and wide to fit in some parking spots.

I love my Infiniti QX56 because it has a lot of room. The third seat comes in handy. Can haul a lot of items. It has a comfortable. Ride. Perfect for long trips. Although a large vehicle it handles like a small SUV. It also has nice luxury features.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Helen H.

The are not a lot of cons about this vehicle. The only ones that I have is that it is not good on gas, especially city driving. The maintenance on this vehicle is also expensive. I would not recommend as a primary vehicle.
