Infiniti QX 2012 Still Alive

Infiniti QX 2012 It’s monster, this utility full size. It is longer (it is 5.3 m) and wider (it’s 2m) that almost everything that is in the category of Cadillac Escalade, Land Rover and Lexus LX, except for Lincoln Navigator (still alive , one?). In terms of design, the square box of old has been relegated to the cupboard however, in favor of a style more rounded and more pleasing to the eye.

Infiniti has also decided to enhance the comfort of their vehicle. The Infiniti QX 2012 wanted to differentiate itself from its Nissan cousins ​​by adopting an architecture inspired by the Nissan Patrol. Result: the new chassis is very rigid and it provides a much more civilized behavior, which gives a little something to which one is entitled to expect from a vehicle of more than $ 70,000. One caveat, however: the suspension (double wishbone is retained) was adjusted so that everyone on board feel worn on a cloud.

The power to shake the earth Infiniti QX 2012

In times on the highway, the Infiniti QX 2012 still surprises us with the force under the right foot. The seven-speed automatic is transparent and does not feel the need to use the manual mode. Appetite fuel? We recorded an average of 13.6 liters on the highway, which is not bad for a nearly buses. But of course, it thickens in town.

Moreover, no plate just protect vital organs and suspension suffers from too much travel to be able to effectively cope through obstacles. By cons, towing capacity remains high (8,500 pounds), even if this is 400 pounds lighter than the previous generation.

Undeniable comfort Infiniti QX 2012

In the cockpit, the sound and quality materials, assembly is neat and the front seats as wide as comfortable, are further heated and ventilated. Comfort is undeniable and if you do not a driving position that suits you, is that you need to ask yourself some serious questions about your health. 

The seats fold easily to give a very generous cargo space – to say the least – but the threshold load is high. Of course, we love the driving position higher than nature – with a ground clearance of 234mm, the cover comes shoulders! – But to board the vehicle is acrobatics, without forgetting the need to grab a handful badly positioned. A little more and we will have to call the legendary stool …

Breaking technologies abound aboard the Infiniti QX 2012 and are easy to tame. We love the heated steering wheel and electrically adjustable. We love the Around View system that projects images on the screen as if they were seen from the air. We also love the chic adaptive xenon headlights, laziness concede that the tailgate and electric seat and simplicity keyless.

Single element detestable warning lane change, which fortunately is deactivated. Otherwise, a buzzer sounds in the cockpit whenever we crossed the line without blinking. And with such a wide vehicle, they often crosses these lines …
