Auto Car | 2011 Infiniti QX | Infiniti QX starts with a breathtaking presence, a calm strength derived of clean fluid lines that attract and hold your attention. It continues with the highest level of luxury, not just for the driver and front seat passenger, but all occupants - world class, personalized control over their environments for passengers in every seat in the house. Add in an exceptional driving experience provided by a powerful yet efficient V8 engine design and available Hydraulic Body Motion Control system. Then top it all off with intuitive functionality, which anticipates and responds to the users' needs and desires. Introducing the all-new 2011 Infiniti QX, the latest example of inspired design, performance, technology and craftsmanship from Infiniti. Available in two models, the Infiniti QX56 4WD 7-passenger and QX56 4WD 8-passenger, it is scheduled to go on sale at Infiniti retailers nationwide in summer 2010.
"Following closely on the introduction of the all-new 2011 Infiniti M, the 2011 Infiniti QX gives us an incredible presence in full-size performance luxury vehicles - perfect for buyers seeking style, comfort, roominess and driving exhilaration," said Wendy Durward, Director, Infiniti Canada. "Both the new M and QX also offer a full range of available innovative technology, including Blind Spot Warning and the Infiniti QX's advanced Hydraulic Body Motion Control system."
The second-generation Infiniti QX has been totally redesigned 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 & Lift) technology with the efficiency of Direct Injection Gasoline (DIG?) and 7-speed automatic transmission. With 400 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque, the Infiniti 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 Infiniti QX.
Inside the distinctive Infiniti QX body is an interior long on luxury, including standard Infiniti Hard Drive Navigation System, Around View? Monitor and Bose? 2-channel, 13-speaker Premium Audio System, and perforated semi-aniline leather seating and a dual 7-inch color headrest monitor DVD system which allows different sources to be played at the same time. The 2011 Infiniti QX also offers ample 1st and 2nd row roominess, as well as generous luggage space.
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. The bold front chrome grille is flanked by automatic on/off bi-functional xenon headlights with pop-up headlight washers and integrated front fog lights. Auto-leveling headlights with Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS) are optionally available.
Other exterior features include LED taillights, heated, power-folding sideview mirrors with integrated turn signals, courtesy lights and reverse tilt-down feature, body colour running boards, body colour integrated front and rear splash guards built into the wheel arches, roof rails and crossbars, power sliding tinted glass moonroof and a power rear liftgate.
The new Infiniti QX features revised dimensions versus the previous generation - 1.4-inches (35.56 mm) longer, 1.1-inches (27.94 mm) wider and 3.8-inches (96.52 mm) lower in overall height. A front underbody spoiler, rear liftgate spoiler and redesigned side mirrors help provide improved aerodynamics of 0.37 Cd and zero lift. The Infiniti QX's strong presence is accented by the powerful wheel and tire combinations - standard 20-inch and available 22-inch - and a palette of six distinctive exterior colors.
The second-generation Infiniti QX also offers new engine and transmission designs - delivering, a combination of power, efficiency and refinement worthy of the Infiniti name. The new 5.6-litre 32-valve DOHC aluminum-alloy V8 features Infiniti's advanced VVEL (for Variable Valve Event & Lift) technology and new Direct Injection Gasoline (DIG™) system.
The VVEL system combines hydraulic-controlled variable valve timing and electronically controlled variable valve lift on the intake side to help improve performance and response. Throttle response is enhanced by directly controlling the intake valve, rather than using the traditional method of controlling intake with the throttle valve. The VVEL system also offers improved emissions and fuel efficiency (over non-VVEL designs) by substantially reducing the intake resistance that occurs when the engine's throttle valve opening is narrowed and output is low. The new DIG™ system provides better wide-open throttle performance and improved fuel economy and emissions performance by reducing engine knock, improving combustion stability and offering more precise injection control.
The engine is rated at 400 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque, compared with 320 horsepower and 393 lb-ft of torque produced by the 2010 QX's non-VVEL/non-DIG™ V8. With a 25% increase in horsepower, the 2011 QX does not sacrifice fuel economy, which increases by around 10% versus the 2010 Infiniti QX.
