Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Powerful and refined V8 power, good balance of ride and handling, class-leading towing capacity, roomy second-row seats, handy video parking monitor.
Cons
- Some low-grade cabin trim, typical big SUV thirst.
What’s new
No significant changes this year for the QX56.
Edmunds says
If the styling suits you, the rest of this import luxury liner should, too, as the QX56 more than measures up to its domestic competitors.

DREAM SUV

2005 INFINITI QX56 4WD 4dr SUV (5.6L 8cyl 5A)
I purchased this vehicle at Inifiniti of Memphis, my hometown and I reside in Arkansas near the Oklahoma border (about 5 hours)and on my trip home, I felt like I was a first class passenger flying in a JET. I have driven several different SUV's and my choice was between this vehicle and the Cadillac Escalade. I must say that the escalade is beautiful on the outside like the Inifiniti, … but the inside cannot compare. The Cadillac is not only outdated inside, but has a pimpish image and this is not what I wanted. When you say Infiniti it says class, luxury, technology and performance.
Nothing but problems

2005 INFINITI QX56 4WD 4dr SUV (5.6L 8cyl 5A)
we have had nothing but problems with this car. Brakes have been replaced 3 times already, cruise has never worked, front window gets stuck continuely, dvd replaced twice, and the car is now beginning to rattle at various spots. We are trying to use the lemon law to get our money back.
75000 miles and still great!

2005 INFINITI QX56 4WD 4dr SUV (5.6L 8cyl 5A)
After 4 1/2 years and 75K miles, this vehicle cannot be beat. We drive locally, long distance, in snow, heat and traffic. We couldn't ask for a better ride, fit finish and overall reliability. All we do are regular oil changes, tire rotations and scheduled maintenance and this truck runs great. We had an unfortunate experience hitting a VERY large deer once, and had we been in … anything else, the deer would have been in our laps. We were safe, the deer escaped, and all we had to replace was the front grill and hood. Insurance covered it. Even all the toys (DVD system, Navigation, Sirius, power lift gate) remain in great working order. We love this SUV, and the paint still shines like new!
