March 29, 2010



Slated to go on sale at INFINITI retailers nationwide in summer 2010 as a 2011 model, the next generation INFINITI QX is all new from the platform up. Its new high-stiffness frame structure enhances ride comfort while reducing noise, vibration and harshness. The new 5.6-litre V8 engine combines the responsive acceleration of INFINITI’s VVEL (Variable Valve Event &amp; Lift) technology with the efficiency of Direct Injection Gasoline (DIG?) and 7-speed automatic transmission. With 400 horsepower and 413 lbs-ft of torque, the QX can handle tasks such as towing boats or trailers (8,500-pound towing capacity), while also offering over 10% better fuel economy than the previous generation QX.


The 2011 INFINITI QX is conceived to attract and hold viewers’ attention, conveying its underlying sense of power and strength. The design is dynamic, its size capable of transporting eight adults and their belongings with spacious elegance.


Inside the distinctive QX body is an interior long on luxury and convenience, including standard INFINITI Hard Drive Navigation System, Around View? Monitor, Bose® 2-channel and 13-speaker Premium Audio System, perforated semi-aniline leather seating and dual 7-inch colour monitor DVD system which allows different sources to be played at the same time. The 2011 QX also offers ample 1st and 2nd row roominess and generous luggage space.


The 2011 QX is offered in two models – INFINITI QX56 4WD 7-passenger and INFINITI QX56 4WD 8-passenger.
