Infiniti QX56 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2010–2013) — Second Generation
The second-generation Infiniti QX56 is a large seven- or eight-seat luxury SUV built on a body-on-frame platform, pairing serious towing ability and off-road hardware with a plush, technology-rich cabin.
The Infiniti QX56 engine offering centres on a 5.6 AT petrol V8, a naturally aspirated unit that pulls strongly from low revs and stays quiet when cruising. Its automatic transmission shifts smoothly under load, and the all-wheel-drive drivetrain in the SUV 5-doors body adds traction on loose or slippery surfaces.

Infiniti QX56 trim levels sit on top of that single technical version rather than changing it: the 5.6 AT is offered as 4WD and Hi-tech. In practice the higher configuration concentrates on comfort and electronics — screens, cameras, audio and driver aids — while the mechanical package, seating layout and towing capability stay much the same.
