  • Reliability (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    Infiniti generally has a good reputation for reliability, and the QX56 is no exception. While not perfect, major issues are uncommon with proper maintenance.
  • Maintenance (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    Maintenance costs can be higher than average due to its luxury status and V8 engine. Finding specialized Infiniti technicians might also be a factor.
  • Technology (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    The infotainment system is functional but feels dated compared to newer rivals. Features like navigation and Bluetooth are present, but the interface isn't the most intuitive.
  • Comfort (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    The ride is generally smooth and isolates occupants well from road imperfections. Seats are supportive and comfortable for long journeys, and the cabin is quiet.
  • Dynamics (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    While the V8 offers ample power, the QX56 feels ponderous and not particularly engaging to drive. Steering is vague, and body roll is noticeable in corners.

2012 INFINITI QX56 Overview

The 2012 INFINITI QX56 was a full-size luxury SUV that offered a compelling blend of opulent comfort, robust capability, and cutting-edge technology. It was designed for buyers seeking a premium family hauler with ample space for passengers and cargo, and the ability to tackle diverse driving conditions.

Highlights

  • Engine: The QX56 was powered by a potent 5.6-liter V8 engine, delivering a robust 400 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque. This engine, paired with a smooth-shifting 7-speed automatic transmission, provided effortless acceleration and confident towing capabilities. It was more than capable of moving the substantial weight of the QX56 with ease, whether accelerating from a stop or passing on the highway.

  • Safety Features:

    • Predictive Forward Collision Warning (PFCW): This advanced system looks two cars ahead, not just the one directly in front, alerting the driver to potential risks before they become immediate dangers.
    • Forward Emergency Braking (FEB) with Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA): FEB can automatically apply the brakes if a forward collision is imminent and the driver doesn't react, while IBA provides additional braking force when the driver brakes hard.
    • Blind Spot Warning (BSW) and Blind Spot Intervention (BSI): BSW alerts the driver to vehicles in their blind spots, and BSI can gently guide the vehicle back into its lane if the driver attempts to change lanes while a vehicle is present.
    • Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Lane Departure Prevention (LDP): LDW warns the driver if the vehicle is drifting out of its lane, and LDP can provide steering input to keep the vehicle centered.
    • Around View Monitor with Moving Object Detection: This system uses cameras to create a 360-degree bird's-eye view around the vehicle, aiding in parking and low-speed maneuvers. Moving Object Detection provides an alert if a person or vehicle is detected moving in the vicinity.
    • Standard Safety Equipment: The QX56 also came equipped with a comprehensive suite of standard safety features, including anti-lock brakes (ABS), electronic stability control (ESC), traction control, and a full array of airbags.
  • Trims: The 2012 INFINITI QX56 was offered in two primary, well-equipped trims:

    • QX56: This base trim was already exceptionally well-appointed, providing a luxurious and feature-rich experience for most buyers.
    • QX56 with Deluxe Touring Package: This premium package significantly enhanced the already luxurious interior with features like ventilated front seats, a Bose 15-speaker premium audio system, a remote-folding second-row seat, and heated second-row seats.
  • Other Notable Aspects:

    • Spacious and Luxurious Interior: The cabin was a sanctuary of premium materials, comfortable seating for up to seven or eight passengers (depending on second-row configuration), and a host of amenities.
    • Advanced Infotainment System: A user-friendly infotainment system with a large color touchscreen controlled navigation, audio, climate, and connectivity features.
    • Impressive Towing Capacity: With its powerful V8 and robust chassis, the QX56 offered a substantial towing capacity, making it suitable for hauling boats, trailers, or campers.
    • Hydraulic Body-Size-Independent All-Wheel Drive (Hydraulic Body-Size-Independent AWD): This available AWD system provided enhanced traction and stability in various road conditions, from slippery surfaces to off-road excursions.

What to Expect

Ownership of a 2012 INFINITI QX56 typically involves experiencing a high level of comfort and refinement. The plush ride quality, quiet cabin, and abundance of luxury features create a serene environment for both short commutes and long road trips.

  • Maintenance: As a luxury SUV with a potent V8 engine, the QX56 will require regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance and longevity. This includes routine oil changes, filter replacements, fluid checks, and tire rotations. While INFINITI vehicles are generally reliable, expect maintenance costs to be higher than those of non-luxury brands due to the specialized parts and labor involved. It's advisable to follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule diligently.

  • Insurance: Insurance premiums for the 2012 INFINITI QX56 will likely be on the higher side, reflecting its luxury status, powerful engine, advanced safety features, and the cost of repairs for its premium components. Factors such as your driving record, location, coverage choices, and the vehicle's age will influence the final cost.

Potential Considerations

While the 2012 QX56 offers a lot to love, potential buyers should be aware of a few aspects:

  • Fuel Economy: The 5.6-liter V8 engine, while powerful, is not fuel-efficient. Expect to see fuel economy ratings that are considerably lower than those of smaller vehicles or more modern SUVs. This is a common trade-off for large, powerful luxury vehicles.
  • Size and Maneuverability: The QX56 is a large vehicle. While its available Around View Monitor and parking aids assist with maneuvering, navigating tight city streets, parking garages, and crowded parking lots can be a challenge for some drivers.
  • Technology Age: While cutting-edge for its time, the technology within the 2012 QX56 may feel dated compared to newer vehicles. Features like smartphone integration (Apple CarPlay/Android Auto) are not natively available.

Overall Summary

The 2012 INFINITI QX56 stands as a formidable contender in the full-size luxury SUV segment, offering a compelling package of V8 power, opulent comfort, advanced safety systems, and significant passenger and cargo space. While its fuel economy and sheer size require consideration, for those seeking a refined and capable premium SUV with a commanding presence, the QX56 delivers a truly luxurious and satisfying ownership experience.
