Infiniti QX56 test drive since 2010 SUV
The current generation Infiniti QX56 has nothing to do with the predecessor
The developers of the new QX56 say that he intuitively feels, anticipates and realizes the desires and intentions of the driver and passengers. This is almost true ... Old QX56, frankly, was done somehow. It seems that he was a frame SUV, but at the same time did not have sufficient cross -country ability.
On the one hand, he claimed a comfortable movement, on the other hand, this was expressed only in a ridiculous amplitude of swing on the irregularities of asphalt. He wanted to be perceived as a luxury model, but the finish could be impressed only by American Redneces. In general, there were enough absurdities. In it, you felt like in the subway car, which for some reason was released on a trolleybus route.
Yes, it is huge - but, unlike its predecessor, is not devoid of harmony
Reasonable roll
The new QX56 is completely different. It did not leave a gram of old in it. The finish is completely changed. Now it’s chic, stylish, nice.
The front panel no longer resembles a slot machine. Even on a speedometer, a designer worked, who wants to shake his hand. The suspension settings are completely processed. Finally, real comfort appeared, as the sophisticated car owner understands him. Thanks to the hydraulic system of limiting the body's vibrations, the previous buildup is defeated, although it remained within reasonable limits as a certain quite acceptable Americanism. Where without her in such a huge SUV?
On a reduced gear, the Japanese American rhino works miracles
Acceleration to hundreds in 6.5 seconds for a car under three tons of science fiction!
Of course, there are examples of complete getting rid of rolls and cloves, let's say, Porsche Cayenne, but in QX56, I'm afraid such a chip will not go. Permanent customers will not accept. Imagine you will have to live with a man who was always very generous, they had money, but suddenly turned into a miser and makes you a remark about the lost ruble. Who will like it?
Yakutia against California
The designers took the frame from the new QX56. And judging by the result, they did it not in vain. Still, it is almost impossible to configure a heavy frame chassis.
The only two parameters that will always be impeccable in it, strength and energy intensity. But in the modern world you will not go far on this. Residents of Yakutia, Mongolia and Buryatia probably think differently, but no one asked them. Mostly focused on California.
On the off -road QX56 is saved by a rather tolerable geometric cross -country ability
The torque Infiniti QX56 560 Newton meters. It is able to tow boats or trailers weighing up to 3850 kg. Ignoring the fact that Infiniti will go around per kilometer on the road, it was stuffed with safe electronics no worse than Volvo. There is a system for maintaining a distance to the car in front of the car. Alarm alarm is working in case of accidentally crossing the marking line and automatic braking of the wheels of the same side to return to your lane. Monitoring of the blind areas around the machine also applies control of dead zones in order to prevent a collision during rebuilding.
The finish is gorgeous. The speedometer is made in a new style and is unusually pleasant
Shovel as a toothpick
It is especially surprising that he is not entirely helpless on off -road. The photographer for a long time dissuaded me to go to the field, but I did not listen to him. Although one could understand all the stupidity of this venture. A good size of the shovel that lay in our trunk looked on the background of QX56 rather with a toothpick than a rescue agent. But we elegantly traveled around all the nearest pampas and were satisfied.
Full -wheel drive is connected automatically or forcibly. There is a low row
He has a blocking of a full -wheel drive coupling, a low gear and a road clearance of 257 mm. Imitation of inter -long locks works well. At least quite logical. You call on a hill and one wheel hangs in the air. The brake mechanisms recognize the danger and grab the discs tightly. To continue moving, you need to squeeze the gas pedal to the floor and wait a few seconds. The main thing is to remove the leg from the accelerator in time in order not to break the front bumper.
Give the refrigerator
The BMW client needs at least a slight tendency to vice, a solid share of hidden aggression and, possibly, a fictional, but dark past. To buy Cadillac, you need to be a pijon, and Mercedes is a saturated bourgeois. To purchase Infiniti QX56, no conditions are needed at all. Now it's just a good car. He will not even require a pervert temporarily. That is why I am worried about the fate of the QX56 in Russia. Here the buyer opens a wallet, only seeing the horns and tail.
The volume of the trunk is 1404 liters. This is a lot. Plus there is a third row
Do you know what is not enough in QX56? Good refrigerator. Not a cooled department in a glove compartment, but a normal bivalve -bombed American refrigerator. He will easily fit here. I would not put beer in it and energy with Coca-Cola (as the owner of the Tahoe would certainly do), and ice cream, about 500 sketches. When the ice cream ends, I would throw a refrigerator and arrange a platform for a tea ceremony in the cabin. Both a Pinbole and a cinema gaming device will look good here. A wonderful American car, the concept of which can be conveyed by the following words: you were sitting at home and suddenly your house went. And the house in this case is by no means some miserable camper.
Caution, technical details
The premium-heater is designed on the 7th generation Nissan Patrol platform, unlike the previous version built on the framework of the Nissan Pathfinder Armada chamber chassis. The new machine is 35.5 mm longer, 28 mm wider and 96.5 mm below the predecessor. The only V8 5.6 L engine with a capacity of 400 liters available for QX56 2011 model year. p., Working paired with a 7-speed automatic transmission. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h is 6.5 s. The ALL-Mode-4WD all-wheel drive system provides four asphalt, stone, sand and snow control modes. There are also Hill Start (touched in the hill), Hill Descent Assist (maintenance support from the mountain), five television cameras (assistance in the parking lot), LDW (tracking system), BSW (detection of cars in the blind zone of mirrors), laser Cruise control.
