About Infiniti QX56
The Infiniti QX56 is a rather uncommon example of a full-size luxury SUV constructed using truck-based, body-on-frame tech. Its platform, which is available with rear- or four-wheel drive, was adapted from the Nissan Armada SUV. It was the first Infiniti made in the United States, at a plant in Canton, Mississippi. The QX56, which is available in seven or eight-seat configurations, is best suited for buyers that require people-hauling and towing. Its main rivals are the Cadillac Escalade and the Lincoln Navigator. Despite the fact that the QX56’s name was derived from its 5.6-liter V-8 engine, it was renamed QX80 for the 2014 model year and remained mostly intact, including the 5.6-liter engine, until a 2018 model-year restyling.
The Infiniti QX56 (JA60) was a full-size sport utility vehicle (SUV) sold under Nissan’s luxury brand Infiniti. It shared the F-Alpha chassis with the Nissan Titan pickup truck and was based on the Nissan Armada full-size SUV. The QX56 was only available in the United States, Canada, Russia, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia. It was also the first Infiniti to be manufactured in the United States. The Infiniti JA60, together with the Nissan WA60, began development in early 2000. Masato Takahashi completed the final design in early 2001, with an August 2001 design freeze for a commencement of production in early 2004.
As part of a Nissan design trend that began with the 1986 Nissan Pathfinder, the rear door handles were put on the “C” pillar. When the four-door Nissan Pathfinder was introduced, Nissan elected to disguise the door handles as part of the “C” pillar trim, giving the vehicle the appearance of a two-door truck with a camper shell, with standard door handles on the front doors.
The JA60 was powered by a 5.6 L VK56DE V8 engine with 320 horsepower (239 kW) at 4,900 rpm and 393 lbft (533 Nm) torque at 3,600 rpm, as well as a 5-speed automated transmission with overdrive. Each cylinder in the engine was coated with cast iron, as is customary with aluminum blocks. A DOHC valvetrain with four valves per cylinder was used. The throttle responsiveness of the QX56 was developed by Infiniti to match to various drivetrain modes: when the driver selects all-wheel drive, the throttle becomes less sensitive, ostensibly to allow for simpler off-road acceleration regulation.
