The 2008 Infiniti QX56 gets freshened exterior and interior appearance. QX56 is a luxury-trimmed version of the Nissan Armada SUV from Infiniti's parent company. The powertrain teams a 320-horsepower 5.6-liter V8 engine with a 5-speed automatic transmission. Maximum towing capacity is 9000 lb. QX56 is available with rear-wheel drive or 4-wheel drive that can be left engaged on dry pavement and includes low-range gearing. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, an antiskid system, front side airbags, and curtain side airbags. QX56 seats seven with 2nd-row buckets, or eight with an optional 2nd-row bench. The 3rd-row bench is split 60/40 and for '08 has standard power folding. A navigation system, rear obstacle detection, wireless cell phone link, load-leveling suspension, and a rearview camera are standard. Newly standard are 20-inch wheels and keyless access and starting. Freshened interior styling includes real aluminum and wood trim. DVD entertainment is optional.
