Test drivers write that a powerful V8 engine and good maneuverability are among the 2013 Infiniti QX56’s attributes. Additionally, one reviewer praises the QX56 for its strong towing capacity.
The 2013 Infiniti QX56 is powered by a 5.6-liter V8 engine that produces 400 horsepower. A seven-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive are standard, while four-wheel drive is optional. The EPA reports that rear- and four-wheel drive models both get 14/20 mpg city/highway. That rating is about average for the class, though competitors like the Lexus GX and Mercedes-Benz GL-Class use less fuel. The QX56 can tow up to 8,500 pounds, which is quite good for the class.
Although it’s a big, heavy SUV, auto critics say that the QX56 feels like it has plenty of power, and that its V8 engine is smooth and refined. The seven-speed automatic transmission also earns praise for its quick shifts and polished demeanor.
Auto writers say that the 2013 QX56 handles quite well for its large size. One reviewer says that the QX56 is just as maneuverable as a midsize SUV, and that light yet communicative steering makes it fun to drive. Most test drivers also appreciate the QX56’s comfortable ride, though one says that models equipped with larger 22-inch wheels may ride too harshly for some shoppers.
