Infiniti QX56 test drive since 2010 SUV

The test drive of the latest Infiniti QX56 from Drom.ru, or what is the wild mammoth capable of?

Perhaps, among all their classmates, the Infiniti QX56 SUVs are the most strong impression. The design of this car is trying to speak with the observer in some unusual language. At the same time, they painted the car so that its size is only emphasized.

The square predecessor was not so dashing. Everything is true to the new direction that the infiniti designers took and which is clearly read in the form of the latest models, gives these machines a special recognizable style. And QX, and M, and FX stand out from the crowd. More calm G and ex just a little older.

QX56 Leader of the Infiniti clan, for this car, the company has a special rate. It should be chic and impeccable. How can you not recall the previous model. Although she inspired respect for her size, she did not impress the thing exclusively in luxury. It was felt in her some American uncouthness. Yes, and the salon, although it was stuffed according to the last fashion at that moment, also gave it to the Americanism. Therefore, the Japanese reacted much more carefully to the development and creation of the second generation of the car. In fact, they created a new car.

First, the production of the model was transferred from the United States to Japan. Still, the stigma of Made in Japan still means something. The platform on which the current generation is built is seriously finalized. The structure became tougher due to the increased width of the sections of the spaces and improve the compounds of the longitudinal and transverse beams of the frame. The fastening of the cabin also became tougher, a special design of the rear door opening was used. Thanks to the new licked design, it was possible to achieve a very good lobe resistance coefficient of 0.37. Also at high speed, zero lifting force acts on the car.

The second important news can be considered the appearance under the hood of the giant of the new engine. With the old liths, this V8 began to work much more efficiently. The power has increased from 325 to 405 hp, and torque from 533 to 560 nm. Despite the fact that the engine consumes only 10 percent more fuel than the predecessor.

The increase in indicators is achieved due to the system of adjustment of the phases of gas distribution and the degree of opening of VVL valves, as well as the DIG fuel direct injection system. A new 7-speed machine with a blocked transformer was put in a pair to the motor. The benefits of such a box are obvious to the best acceleration and saving fuel due to short gears. The machine is equipped with working fluid heating at cold start, which also reduces fuel consumption.

There is news in the suspension. So, the new QX56 now does not have a rear axle, there is a completely independent suspension with pneumatic elements that support constant road clearance. The car is deprived of such a familiar thing as reptile stabilizers. Instead of them, an interesting Hydraulic Body Motion Control hydraulic system fights. The essence of its work is as follows: on each shock absorber is located according to the hydraulic cylinder (which are interconnected and with accumulators through highways). The system functions due to fluid flow, depending on the load on a particular shock absorber. The Hydraulic Body Motion Control reduces the suspension blow due to the possibility of separately regulating vertical and transverse-ugly vibrations. You may notice that a similar principle was implemented on the Audi RS6 of the previous generation.

In the photographs, this car looks big, and it seems to be a huge giant live live. To ride such a city have a remarkable driver's dexterity. Of course, Around View Monitor cameras can help, but in dirty weather you need to be prepared for the fact that they will have to be constantly wiped.

The design of the giant may be liked or not, but he certainly cannot leave indifferent. The outlines of this giant whale or the Bashmak are very characteristic and recognizable, and the styling of the body trimmed with chromium, on spectacular 22-inch forged disks made of aluminum alloy, simply shouts about what kind of pathos and rich car it is. A modest person is unlikely to choose such a clear demonstration of his status.

Inside is even more luxurious. Representatives of the company compare the QX salon with a business jet salon. Yeah, it's hard to argue. A huge snow -white space envelops from all sides. The chairs are covered with delicate perforated semi -aniline skin. The driver’s seat is regulated by 10 positions. There is heating and ventilation. Wooden-oozing multi-rol is also with an electroregulation in two planes and heating. The symmetrical central console is generously finished with wood. There are metal elements. Luxury, not vulgar, but pretty screaming. Deluxe Touring Package.

It's time to move back. Fortunately, the car is in maximum configuration, and at the back there are two chairs for the VIP-person, separated by a massive boxing. In terms of the stock of space, there are no questions if desired can even be thrown on the leg. There is also a microclimate control unit, cup holders, heating. Monitors of the multimedia system with excellent sound about 13 speakers are neatly built into the headrests of the front seats, two of which are low-frequency. Want to connect the console, want to put a movie.

And you can sort even further. Business jet, whatever one may say. Access to the third row is carried out through folded chairs of the 2nd row, for which there is a special button. The three of you can sit nominally there. But two on the third row is not particularly spacious. Places for children.

By the way, seats can be folded directly from the trunk, with a simple key of keys. A fairly flat floor and a good cubatic of space are formed, which can be used for various purposes. The fifth door has an electric drive and opens only entirely.

The motor on idle works smoothly and completely inaudibly and only after reaching 3000 revolutions does the engine have a well -fed, satisfied, pleasantly rumbling voice. Well, closer to the limiter, the engine intelligently fierce, very confidently dispersing the car. To accelerate up to a hundred with a fraud of 2,654 kg, only 6.5 seconds are required! Frantic acceleration lasts up to 180-200 km/h, and the maximum speed of a giant station wagon is 210 km/h. And the sensations from this are thoughtful, a business jet going to take off, seriously loses QX56 in this regard! The giant accelerates with the ease of a fluff, which seems unnatural and from this surprises even more!

I must say that there is nothing left of the predecessor left in the entry of the new QX56. I remember that car was too stiff, and the body behaved much noisier. Moreover, this rigidity bordered the car with discomfort truly pleased only when it turned out to be on a perfectly smooth road. And on the broken vibrations of the unsaved masses annoyed.

The new version is much better! The suspension twists irregularities, as if swallowing them. The microprofile of the track is extinguished by an order of magnitude better than that of the predecessor. At the same time, when it comes to a tense turn, the suspension seems to be miraculously clamped by the rolls for a car of such sizes are really at a very low level. At the same time, the smoothness of the course is higher, and handling is better.

The all -wheel drive system from the last series did not undergo changes. As before, the emphasis goes to the rear axle, and to the front, it can transfer up to 50 percent of energy. Interdaemo differentials are free. It is possible to enable a lowering gear. But on spectacular 22-inch wheels on low-profile rubber, even on curbs, you have to call carefully. What a serious off -road is there. Although, we must admit that this frame machine has theoretically has a bumper off -road potential, small overhangs are located.

The nature of the controllability of the car is rear -wheel drive and, with a certain preparation of the driver, this can turn into a good charge of adrenaline and pleasure from controlled drifts on slippery coatings. The relics of the motor are always enough to immediately tear the car into slipping, the front is connected smoothly and adequately, which allows you to accurately dose the drift angle and either spin on the pike, or spectacular revenge with the tail from side to side at good speed. True, the road for this should be a very wide dimensions of the wow!

Of course, this car has everything good in terms of sound and viborizolation, he simply protects from the outside world, and due to dimensions, he also significantly reduces it. Even similar in size SUVs from the QX56 salon seem to be almost lilliputs. The car is crammed with various kinds of options. Such, for example, tracking road markings. Well, the function works, but only if the road is clean and the marking is visible. Otherwise, the scanner simply does not read it.

As for the price, it seems quite justified for so many a car, such quality and filling with options. The only thing that seems to be an obstacle to the complete celebration of QX56 sales is too pompous and pathos. In our country, many strong people in this world prefer less catchy style.
