Overview

The 2010 Infiniti QX56 is a full-size luxury SUV that offers a spacious and comfortable interior, powerful performance, and a smooth ride. The QX56 is available in two drivetrains, the 2WD and the 4WD. The 2010 Infiniti QX56 competes with other luxury SUVs such as the Lexus LX, Mercedes-Benz GL-Class, and the Cadillac Escalade.

Under the hood, the QX56 is powered by a 5.6-liter V8 engine that delivers 320 horsepower and 393 lb-ft of torque. This powertrain is paired with a five-speed automatic transmission that provides smooth and responsive shifting. The QX56 also features a two-wheel or four-wheel drive system for improved traction and handling.

Inside, the QX56 offers a spacious and luxurious cabin that can comfortably seat up to eight passengers. Standard features include leather upholstery, heated and cooled front seats, a power-adjustable steering wheel, and a rear-seat entertainment system.

The QX56 Journey adds additional amenities such as a Bose sound system and a navigation system. Externally, the QX56 features a bold and imposing design that is both elegant and sporty. Standard exterior features include a sunroof, automatic xenon headlights, and a power rear liftgate.

Safety features on the QX56 include standard stability control, traction control, antilock brakes, and front-seat side airbags, as well as full-length side curtain airbags.

Overall, the 2010 Infiniti QX56 is a spacious and luxurious SUV that offers a powerful and smooth performance, a comfortable and well-appointed interior, and a bold and sporty exterior design. Its fuel economy is not the best but its safety features are comprehensive. We have over a thousand listings ranging from $1,999 to $47,995.

Buying Advice

For 2010, we would recommend the four-wheel drive variant of the QX56. Standard features like 20-inch chrome wheels, auto-leveling rear suspension, a rearview camera, xenon headlights, a sunroof, a power liftgate, a heated steering wheel, rear parking sensors, dual-zone automatic climate control, leather upholstery, power front seats, and much more make it an excellent and practical daily driver. We would also recommend adding in the Technology package to make driving in the city easier and hassle-free. We especially liked the Deep Garnet Metallic, Liquid Onyx Metallic, and Silver Graphite Metallic exterior paint options as they give the SUV a sporty look.
