2013 Infinity QX56 like new condition, only 12,500 miles. This is my wife's car and I bought it new 02/2013. She loves it but wants a new Range Rover! The car is great the people at infinity are great too. They have training monthly at Sewell Infinity for owners. This car comes with two sets of floor mats. The original mats are tan so I bought all black original Infinity mats it looks better. I also purchased the Canvas cargo protector from infinity and had the windows tinted and the SUV pre wired for a radar detector, and had the windows tinted. The original sticker on the SUV was $68,000 plus we had the Wheels painted black by infinity for an additional $1500. The SUV also has lifetime balance on the 22" wheels from NTB.

Cons: Poor fuel economy; can be difficult to maneuver in tight spots. What's New: Moving Object Detection (MOD) is added to the standard Around View monitor. Other changes to the 2013 Infiniti XQ56 include auto-dimming outside mirrors and an upgrade remote control for the available Theatre Package. If your next full-size SUV needs to be substantial yet subtle, the 2013 Infiniti QX56 probably won't strike your fancy. Its proportions are massive, augmented by styling that seems to exaggerate every line, curve and seam. Although its silhouette still appears as boxy and upright as the first generation to wear the QX badge, Infiniti has seen fit to apply a liberal helping of bulging fender flares, bulbous corners and wide chrome accents outlining the grille, windows and side vents. The entire package is set off by a massive set of 9-spoke alloy wheels that, when rolling, look like giant fan blades ready to slice into anything that draws near. Newly redesigned in 2011, the QX56 jettisons the Titan pickup-truck platform that spawned the original QX in favor of a more modern Nissan full-size SUV platform sourced from models sold outside the United States. The QX56's platform serves it and its passengers well, providing a modern suspension and ample space for the long legged in all three rows. Fold down the second and third-row seats, and the QX reveals a plentiful cargo bay to hide luggage, sports gear or the latest acquisitions from Best Buy. Comfort & Utility If you want to see what separates a luxury SUV from an ordinary SUV, take a look inside the Infiniti QX56. The available semi-aniline leather (part of the Deluxe Touring package) feels as buttery soft as it looks, and the seats have a lovely stitch pattern that adds depth and richness to the interior. The dash carries Infiniti's signature style, with vast stretches of real wood trim, a two-tone dash pad and a simple, clean instrument layout with a large LCD navigation screen as its focal point. The QX56's seating is supremely supportive in the first and second rows, and even the 60/40 power folding third-row seats, while not spacious, are suitable for adults. Here's one important note: The QX56's second-row seats are twin captain's chairs separated by a wide console. If you need three-row seating, you'll need to check off the 60/40 split bench seat option, which can be had at no extra charge. Heated second-row seats show up when equipped with the Theatre Package. What impresses us most about the QX56's interior is how much stuff Infiniti has designated as standard equipment. With a base price starting at around $60,000, the QX56 includes a 13-speaker Bose audio system; Intelligent Key keyless entry and push-button start; a power sunroof; a power rear liftgate; HID headlamps; 10-way power driver's and 8-way power passenger's seat with two-way power lumbar support; a heated steering wheel; power tilting and telescoping steering wheel; voice-activated hard-drive navigation; Bluetooth; front and rear sonar parking aids; and the Around View 360-degree monitor. The options list is short, broken into packages such as the Deluxe Touring package (Hydraulic Body Motion Control, climate-controlled front seats, upgraded Bose surround-sound system, Advanced Climate Control and headlamp washers), the Theatre package (dual 7-inch LCD screens, wireless headsets, heated second-row seats, remote tip-up second-row seats) and the Technology package, described below. Technology The most impressive technology features for the QX56 can be found in the available Technology package. The package includes Intelligent Cruise Control, which keeps a safe distance between you and traffic ahead; Lane Departure Warning and Lane Departure Prevention, two systems that alert you when you drift out of your lane and will gently move the car back if you fail to respond; and Distance Control Assist, which alerts the driver to slow down by pulsing the throttle and applying the brakes. The Around-View monitor uses cameras located in the side mirrors, front grille and rear hatch to create 360-degree and bird's-eye views of the scene outside the car, a great aid when parking or pulling out from a blind curve. The system also includes Moving Object Detection (MOD) that can detect moving objects within the top view (when in Park) or both front and rear when backing up or starting off. Performance & Fuel Economy The QX56 is powered by a 5.6-liter V8 that makes an impressive 400 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque. That's a lot of power at this price point, bested only by the Cadillac Escalade, which has 403-hp and 417 lb-ft of torque. Mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission, the QX56's V8 is marvelously smooth and powerful, capable of producing some delightfully quick passing and merging speeds, not to mention flat-out acceleration from a dead stop. Models equipped with Infiniti's All-Mode Four-Wheel Drive include a driver-selectable Auto/4HI/4LO computer-controlled transfer case. Left in Auto mode, the system will detect wheel slippage and route power to the wheels with the best traction. The QX56's fuel economy isn't anything to write home about. Nevertheless, it's better than almost all of its rivals, save the Cadillac Escalade Hybrid. The EPA rates the QX56 at 14 mpg city/20 mpg highway for both 2WD and 4WD models. The QX56 is rated to tow up to 8,500 lb. Safety The 2013 Infiniti QX56 comes with a full roster of safety gear including 4-wheel ABS; electronic traction and stability control; and an available Hydraulic Body Motion Control system that uses sensors to pressurize individual shocks, minimizing body roll and lean. Inside, the QX provides front, front side impact and 3-row side curtain airbags. The Technology package also includes many electronic safety measures to help avoid accidents, keep the vehicle in its lane and alert the driver to vehicles in the QX's blind spot. Driving Impressions As big SUVs go, this is one of the better-handling ones. Unlike the Lexus LX570, the QX doesn't feel large and ponderous. Its steering effort is light and direct, with good feedback in fast curves. The optional Hydraulic Body Motion Control system helps the QX56 avoid that tippy feeling commonly found in large vehicles with a high center of gravity. As for acceleration, the 5.6-liter V8 turns in an A-plus performance, responding instantly to throttle input and delivering a sweet, low rumble that is music to a V8 lover's ears. |

800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable
Tue, 01 Oct 2013What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
2014 Infiniti Q50S
Mon, 03 Feb 2014Ten years ago, nearly to the day, I took delivery of a brand-new 2004 Infiniti G35 6MT. The sporty rear-wheel drive sedan, equipped with its throaty 260-horsepower V6, slick manual gearbox and limited-slip differential replaced my 2001 BMW 330i because the Japanese competitor touted a product that was roomier, better equipped, quicker and lower priced. The G35 trumped the German in nearly every measurable category - at least on paper.
The 2014 Infiniti Q50 is the direct descendant, albeit two generations later, of the car I owned a decade ago. It is dimensionally about the same size, but it has gained more than 300 pounds of mass thanks to numerous safety upgrades and technical innovations. The additional weight is largely dismissed by a larger and more efficient powerplant that delivers an additional 68 horsepower, a welcome arrival, but the manual gearbox that charmed enthusiasts has been pushed out of the picture by a mandatory seven-speed automatic transmission.
As it has in the past, Infiniti touts its all-new Q50 as a luxury sport sedan worthy of the title. Decades ago, impressive performance statistics may have sealed the deal. Yet there is much more to the assignment today, as the model must offer premium appointments, sophistication and engaging driving dynamics if it's going to entice and capture the next-generation of young, premium buyers - much like the G35 did for me ten years ago.
Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating
Mon, Aug 6 2018Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.
