Infiniti QX56 test drive since 2004 SUV
WHALE
This wonderful duo of the motor and automatic transmission lacks only a worthy chassis, and therefore Infiniti is doomed to urban existence Despite the fact that the official supplies of Infiniti QX56 began recently, it has already become become affected on our roads: the SUV fell to the court. The car looks status and courageous, which guarantees success in Russia.
The roots of the luxury SUV Nissan Titan pickup. At first, an Armada SUV was built on its base, which turned into Infiniti. The interior is good. Convenient chairs, verified ergonomics, the usual puck controller of the audio system and navigation, the most beautiful wooden inserts, however, sometimes the interior still resembles the Titan interior: for example, a ceiling console with the screen of the information and entertainment system migrated from the truck along with cheap plastic, unacceptable in luxury segment.
The spaciousness of the salon is amazing. A pair of separate armchairs with a wide armrest in the middle was installed on the second row. The legs can be pulled completely, as in a limousine, even if your height is 190 cm.
When driving at high speeds, the doors are dropped from the seals, there is a low body hardness of the body The third row is also not flawed. It’s not difficult to accommodate, and the thought of traveling in Kamchatka, if a balanced driver is driving, and the road promises to be even is quite acceptable. Otherwise, an attack of seas disease is provided by QX56 is characterized by strong vertical buildup.
The Japanese suspension is poorly configured. The SUV jumps on the waves, it rearranges it on irregularities, and the lying policeman has to bow. You begin to get pleasure only on perfect highways, which in itself is strange when it comes to an SUV.
Another nuisance low body rigidity. On the bumps, the doors are practically dropped from the seals, and the salon is filled with noisy sucking out of the outboard air through the cracks. Close the lid of the trunk when hitting the front wheel on the curb with the help of an electric drive, you will have to either level the car or slam it properly. By the way, Infiniti trunk is the most thoughtful and convenient. The third row of seats is folded by electric drives in an even floor, and the side windows are opened for air access.
In a drift, the SUV has a pronounced rear -wheel drive controllability, but does not indulge in information content Infiniti accelerates smoothly and assertively. The automatic machine perfectly and predicts the transmission, not irritating with delays, but 5.6? Liter gasoline V8 provides excellent dynamics in the entire speed and speed range. Responsive and easy to rise an SUV, very convenient in the city.
However, when you get on the ice, it becomes obvious that the controllability of Infiniti on slippery coatings does not differ from competitors. Therefore, the recommendations are the same as for all large SUVs: do not bring to the limit.
There are no complaints about the brake system: QX slows down quite efficiently. However, it is necessary to take into account the impressive mass of the SUV. Outside the roads QX56 does not shine. The low location of the units and modest suspensions are not the best helpers on the off -road. Neither the lowering of the transmission, nor the confident craving on the lower engine are saved. The plastic body kit is vulnerable, and you should not rush without looking back at Infiniti.
This SUV wants to forgive his weaknesses for exemplary behavior in the city, for an expressive appearance, for a great sense of dimensions and pleasant overclocking management.

DESIGN
The first show of 2004, the design under the guidance of Siro Nakamura (Shiro Nakamura).
OUTSIDE This is an all -resistant Luxury. A larger, significant, image and very bright in design. First of all, the style emphasizes the image of scale and monumentality. Infiniti plastic is in the middle position. The faces and corners continue to be read, but in general, a feeling of softness and friendliness. Highly lowered frail eyes reduce the severity of the image of a formidable and impregnable owner of the road, but strengthen individuality, and here this is the main thing. The silhouette practices the attractiveness of utility architects such as station wagons for luxury customers. Manage! Infiniti stylists achieve this with a drop in the heights of the passenger salon and luggage compartment. Athletism of the relief of the hind wings, which did not allow you to place the door handle in a traditional place (it is in the rack, like the sportingly oriented Italian sedans Alfa Romeo) becomes especially noticeable. The individuality of the back is formed by the gigantism of the emblem, the handles and the plastic of the box of the military zip with the lid of the fifth door.
INSIDE
Infiniti is brutal, sometimes rude, and the dominant of the central console makes it similar to a bedside table of a 5-star hotel with a maid call buttons and turning on a stereo system. There are also ellip -shaped watches a la Maserati. Is very similar.
The interior is high -quality and thought out, and the scope is fantastic
The dashboard looks rustic, but information content at the height
Infiniti seats are amazingly soft, but quite comfortable
The rear passengers will not have to complain about the lack of legs space, but a separate landing is a controversial solution
On the front armrest is only the heating buttons
Climate control was transferred to the ceiling with the monitor
In Infiniti, you can still listen to audio cassettes!
