Manufactured at Nissan's new plant in Canton, Miss., the QX56 was the first Infiniti model built in the U.S. For 2007, a new Pacific Sapphire exterior color is available.Based on the Nissan Armada, the luxury QX56 holds a similar Endurance 5.6-liter V-8 that generates 320 horsepower. The independent rear suspension incorporates load leveling. Rear- and four-wheel-drive versions are available. A rear-drive QX56 can tow up to 9,000 pounds.A RearView Monitor became standard on 2005 models. Minor enhancements for 2006 included the addition of power-folding mirrors that are heated and have power adjustment and integrated turn signals. The third-row seat is split 60/40, and a Bluetooth-based hands-free phone system is standard.ExteriorWraparound rectangular housings that contain xenon high-intensity-discharge headlights flank a grille with bright horizontal bars. LED taillights are installed. Seven-spoke 18-inch chrome wheels are installed.Built on a fully boxed frame, the QX56 has a relatively long 123.2-inch wheelbase but measures a more moderate 206.9 inches long overall. Running boards, a roof rack, powered flip-out rear quarter windows and a powered rear liftgate are standard. Four-wheel-drive models have skid plates. A power sunroof is optional.InteriorDepending on the second-row layout, the QX56 can seat seven or eight. Standard second-row captain's chairs have integrated armrests, and there is a removable second-row center console. A folding bench seat can be substituted for the captain's chairs, and a 60/40-split, flat-folding bench seat goes into the third row. First- and second-row seats are heated.Sojourner leather-appointed upholstery and a navigation system are standard. Genuine wood trim comes in a choice of colors, and the steering wheel has wood and aluminum trim. A memory system controls the adjustable pedals, mirrors and driver's seat position. The driver operates a gated shift lever.The 10-speaker Bose audio system includes a six-CD changer, and the navigation system uses a 7-inch screen. Two wireless headphones are included with the optional DVD Family Entertainment System, which goes into the full-length overhead console. Intelligent cruise control is optional.Under the HoodThe QX56's 5.6-liter Endurance V-8 has been retuned and now makes 320 hp, 5 more than last year's, and 393 pounds-feet of torque, up from 390. The engine drives a five-speed automatic transmission that incorporates a Tow/Haul mode. The QX56 can be equipped with rear-wheel drive or full-time four-wheel drive. Up to 50 percent of available torque can be sent to the front wheels, and the four-wheel-drive system includes a Low range.SafetySide curtain airbags offer side-impact and rollover protection for occupants in all three rows of seats. Seat-mounted side-impact airbags, all-disc antilock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution and brake assist, the Vehicle Dynamic Control electronic stability system and a tire pressure monitoring system are standard.Driving ImpressionsYou get plenty of power and a reasonably good ride from Infiniti's mammoth SUV, but the QX56 is unwieldy for in-town driving. Truck sounds and sensations are evident, and getting in requires a high step up. Auxiliary gauges are difficult to read, and the navigation system's screen is out of the driver's view on a wide dashboard. A thick B-pillar blocks over-left-shoulder visibility. 2007 Infinity QX56 in great condition New break pads, brake fluid flushed and roaters turned & oil changed 6/29/124 new tires 3000 miles agoTow Package and trailer breaksDVD player with headsetsheated front and rear seatsWell maintained and no accidentsMore pictures on youtube chanel art2ride
