Test Drive Infiniti QX56 since 2010 SUV

Qult cash

QX56 Single Infiniti Collected in the United States at the Nissan Canton factory, located in Mississippi
A heavy 2430-kilogram car, cheerfully disperse, smoothly rushed along the highway, a little barrier on the shale, easily carrying over the expensive eight-month salon. Gorgeous, you will not say anything. Eh, if it were not for the deficit of brakes and brown, characteristic of almost all American cars, did not go out of the steering wheel of the new Infiniti QX56
A little nervous when you can't predict how fast the car will slow down. Yes, even so huge as QX. Almost five and a half meters of the body, the doors are also five, the seats are three rows. How else!
The car is made specifically for Americans, and they prefer everything big. It is clear that it's a little complicated to get into the salon without the help, but it is spacious here to the inability. That is where it is for detrotain: you can live in the literal sense of the word, only the baths are missing. Leather chairs of canceled quality hands are nice.
Plotting plastic combined with rich inserts made of natural wood perfectly complements the interior. But the main thing all the details are adjacent to each other as it should. In short, the salon is made great. An impressive set of all sorts of exclusively pleasant things of the type of separate climate control, electric drives with memory, rear view cameras. About all there is no music and talk. Rear passengers DVD player with a 7-inch monitor. I have no time to watch at the wheel. There, too, the liquid crystal monitor is available, but for other purposes it is possible in it, for example, a navigation map to consider or observe the road when moving by reverse. It is a pity that in our not very clean edges after a hundred passed verso video, hidden in the back door, will have to wipe the rag. But we will not be about sad.
The inner decoration of the car with each tricky is trying to delight the driver and passengers. Comfort at the highest level. Optiffered instrument scales arising from the darkness, branded oval spectacles, creating an expensive atmosphere infiniti. With these details, the QX56 interior differs from the relative Nissan Armada, who gave him everything and the chassis, and the engine. But a good base received this luxury SUV.
Despite the frame structure, QX has an independent front and rear (multi-dimensional) suspension with transverse stability stabilizers. Such a solution is still extremely rare on full-size frame jigs. Hence noticeably smaller than the swing. The more rigid European chassis, of course, has a beneficial effect on handling. But the main thing, the QX inheritance went to the famous Nissanovsky four-wheel drive (although the US market versions) and the 5,6-liter motor-eight are provided for the US market).
The drive, as they say, the most real one. Using a hefty switch, the driver selects the desired mode. Highway break only the rear axle. On dry asphalt, the car will fly easily and, I will not be afraid of this word, ease, and even less often refuel: gasoline consumption with one bridge is smaller. In another position, the handle is most practical for various weather conditions, and especially in our strip, the mode with the automatically connected front axle when the rear wheels are slipped. Finally, on the scale, you can find two more options for the operation of the transmission: full for off-road, when the front is connected rigidly, and the so-called heavy with the use of lower transmission. Naturally, it is impossible to use them on the asphalt, since there is no inter-axis differential in transmissions.
However, the most, perhaps, delicious infiniti QX56 fillings is a 5.6-liter V8. The powerful 32-valve motor was designed based on heavy loads, for which he was equipped with a wrought steel crankshaft, pistons with molybdenum coating and a specially configured intake manifold to improve thrust on small revolutions. What! Despite such an impressive working volume, the sound of the unit is almost passenger, with characteristic of Japanese motors with metal notes. Yes, of course, he likes to eat, however, as all Americans, the stated urban consumption in 18 with something liters, could not be achieved. On-board computer less than 22 did not show.
But it is especially nice to note that in the face of Infiniti, instead of a stupid aggression, a hint of nobility appeared. Radiator grille, and rectangular headlights played their role. By the way, it's not just in appearance, there are quite a few convenient devices that emphasize the status of the car. Let's say, the heavy fifth door QX is equipped with a servo even a fragile lady with one touching a finger can raise it, not to mention about to lower it. No less simply managed with the third nearby seats, which is also added with the help of two buttons. Nice, damn it! There is an immediate desire to open all the doors.
The Russians will certainly appreciate this car for advantage, and even more so his vacation price is almost a hundred thousand dollars. Competitors will have difficulty overpay, no one wants to overpay. In a word, a solid SUV appeared on the market, equipped with the latest technology, and even charming, like Shrek Hero of the famous cartoon.
 
In the middle of the 80s Nissan Motor in the strictest secret began designing and preparation for the production of a fundamentally new car of the highest class for the North American market. In 1989, the Infiniti Q45 model was presented. In the fall of 1996, an absolutely original development of Q45 appeared with an updated design and an 8-cylinder engine with a working volume of 4.1 liters. At the same time, Infiniti expands its model range, including the QX4 high-wheel drive version of the TERRANO model in it.

Add a millionchik
Finally, we started the official sales of Lexus LX570, which came to shift LX460. As it is clear from the title, it is equipped with a 5.7-liter engine with a capacity of 381 hp. Now the machine is equipped with a 6-speed sequental automaton (there used to be a 5-speed ACP), and besides a constant full drive, a hydraulic can with a clien control system. In addition, the LX570 can boast an electronic Crawl Control helper that performs cruise control functions only adapted for severe off-road conditions. Not to mention the highest class audio system with 19 columns and a 9-inch display for rear passengers, satellite radio and even heated seats in all three rows. True, and pay for Lexus LX570 will have to pay a million rubles more than his classmate Infiniti QX56.
Solid savings
The closest in Spirit to QX56 is a typical American Chevrolet Tahoe. Moreover, the new generation of the car managed to get rid of the brutal appearance and demonstrates large but quite elegant forms. And from the main features of the last generation Tahoe it is worth noting that its V-shaped 5.3-liter eight with a capacity of 235 hp Equipped with a system that turns off the fuel supply in half of the cylinders at low loads. This ensures noticeable fuel economy, which is rather relevant for multiplicating motors. Otherwise, the same drive with a disabled front axle, like the QX56, no less spacious lounge, is true, not so luxurious, without any chambers of the rear view and other sings. But Tahoe is 500,000 rubles cheaper than the Japanese.
