My husband surprised me last week and bought this perfect SUV for my birthday. This is the best vehicle I have ever experienced. QX56 is obviously the best in its class.
Hey man, this is a great review but... ...what about the Audi Q7 Ron? I think it's a great SUV and it's really comfortable but also very pricey, but what are your thoughts about it? And more importantly, will you be reviewing the Q7 anytime soon? :D
This car should be the best car to drive because this and the nissan patrol are the first suv to be equiped with hydraulic body motion control system HBMCS... you should have mentioned that Ron Doron
The new QX has out sold the LX since it came out, they dont wish to be anything but Infiniti. Notice that all the revisions on the 2013 LX were all features that the QX has had since 2011. The LX might be as good as the QX now, but the QX makes a bolder statement.
I like this dude. One of the best reviews of this vehicle. I disgree with him on his ranking also. Well kinda. The new re-styled LX is HOT and probably a bit more exciting than this QX. But the pre-2013 isn't that great. It's hard to believe that one runs around $100,000! Maybe that's why I've seen like 2 in the last 5 months.
Very striking SUV overall, however the QX56's quirky, lackluster interior design and cheap materials/trim throughout IMO aren't quite up to par with other competitors in it's class.
Fair comment. The LX has true rock-crawling capabilities like the Range Rover. the QX is fine for snow, mud and light duty, but it can't do what the Lexus LX570 or Toyota Land Cruiser can. I just got back from a hard-core Range Rover trip and their own instructors said that other than their vehicles, only the Toyotas and Jeeps can keep up.
@StfuMatthew18 Not really, the LS Hybrid and the LX I can agree on, but other then that Lexus is relatively affordable, the IS, ES, GS, GX & LS are cheaper then all of its rivals.
Be careful with the cheap steel. I’ve had two and both rotted underneath. Northeast weather and salt and sand. Other than that great vehicle. Just make sure to undercoat or rustproof depending where you live. I love the vehicle except the cheap steel.
No not a bad vehicle. I have a 16 and as with any vehicle when you live where it snows your best bet is to coat under the vehicle because of all the salt used. Infiniti uses a high tensile steel made to absorb impact upon collision. It’s stronger but liter than regular steel. The doors will feel liter than other SUV’s but it’s made like that by design.
@BMWDRE10 Yeah, his guy seems to know his stuff and doesnt blab on about stupid unnecessary attributes of other SUVs. I also disagree with his choice of putting the UGLY Lexus in first place, I just wish BMW had an SUV of this size to compare to. Haha something like a X7... if only.
So can I and anyone else, do you even know whats under the hood of a car or do you just assume "of course its an engine!!" Just cause you can memorize and point out the name of a brand doesn't mean you know anything about cars. You must be a Genius!
@BMWDRE10 I dont agree with you, lexus LX is a beauty! about price, well you are talking about the largest SUV which means LARGE engines so thats why they cost more and on top of all that Lexus is a Luxury brand so... you need to pay to get luxury!, Regards
Is English even your first language? You seem to be incompetent both grammatically and intellectually. Anyway you've been a great entertainment for the night. Have a nice life =)
Lmao a Lincoln?? Are you serious, Lincoln is the like cheapest "premium" brand of the bunch anyone can afford one, Lincoln is like a Chrysler, you really have no idea about cars do you? BTW we have a 2007 Mercedes CLS, so your point is?
I dont think I'm better then everyone else & I dont think "I'm all that" but I do know I am more knowledgeable about cars then you, thats very apparent. You come here spewing false facts and pretending like you know things but you dont. And the way you repeat everything I say I can already determine who the 1st grader on here is. Your lack of intellect is equivelant to that of a neanderthal so get off your high horse and stop trying to use these adolescent comebacks to justify your comments
@Sitti2300 ... lucky one :) The QX is now the same car as the new Nissan Patrol which was one of the toughest 4x4 ever built. It was called "The Land Cruiser Killer", it's been around since 1951 - longer than the LC ('54) or Range Rover ('70). I've got the previous version called Y61 and must admit that the car is just indestructible. It has live axles so is a bit uncomfortable, and that's its weak point ;)
@Johncarson9113 Haha, he should've put the Q7 in this test, it doesnt compare in reliability to the japanese competitors but that SUV is deffinatly in my opinion one of the best when it comes to performance.
It is ugly on the outside, but beautiful on the inside. If you ride in it, it makes all the cars (Camaro, Challenger, 300, Charger) you thought looked good feel extremely cheap. It's the only suv with a lot of rear legroom.
@aaad917 The LX is essentially an over priced Land Cruiser. For $79K I rather have taste and go with the Range Rover. The LX is no better then its competitors like the Audi Q7, Infiniti QX56 & Range Rover HSE.
@MrEngineerNasa Haha, the ironic thing is that you called a company stupid when you couldn't even spell the companies name right. It's Mercedes bro, and it has a history of over 125 years and it's the most popular car when it comes to luxury sedans and high-end SUVs. The 2nd generation QX looks kinda weird but has a great interior. But you shouldn't simply go around saying that BMW is stupid, BMW and Mercedes are the safest cars around so read about them before simply bashing them. Peace.
@Johncarson9113 Sorry I don't agree, OVERALL rating of LX makes it the best (design/features/manufacturer/reliability/maintenance&parts cost/life time) Range Rover/RR HSE/Audi Q7:Good looking cars with good features, but they share a very high maintenance cost & parts cost. The car will spend lot of time at maintenance more than being with you InfinitiQX:Closest one to the LX for the reliability, but it is SO UGLY You will know a good car by the used market value of it, LS & LX holds their price
@Johncarson9113 Almost all of Lexus vehicles are overpriced. such as the Lexus LS Hybrid. that's an outrageous price. especially if we're supposedly saving the planet with that car.
@sideslide23 Lol a Lincoln?? Are you kidding, no one shopping for a BMW, Audi, Lexus, Infiniti or Mercedes Benz is going to shop for a Lincoln unless they are on a constraint budget. Please, Lincoln doesn't even play in the same league as the Infiniti QX56. And American vs Japanese reliability, Lmao?? The reliability of an American car is a Joke next to the reliability of a Japanese car.
in europe a car like that would be a complete flop. bmw x5,x6,audi q7 mercedes ml volkswagen tuareg porsche cayenne imho are better than those camions.
you are absolutely right....this car is UGLY....you have to give it a time to grown some "sentiment" ..... just like the Quest...another one competing for the ugliest car of the year.
This guy definitely knows his stuff (about SUV's), but his score of #1 for the Lexus LX is gross. That is the F-ugliest SUV on the road. Not to mention, grossly overpriced!
@ dukviper90 no doubt Nissan's cars are very good, reliable,...etc etc etc... But man...these two are the beast ugliness and repugnant. Hideous looking car,...
my 04 QX56 still running strong with 300000km
This muscleman gives really great reviews on vehicles.
My husband surprised me last week and bought this perfect SUV for my birthday. This is the best vehicle I have ever experienced. QX56 is obviously the best in its class.
man this car is underrated!
This SUV is MASSIVE!
LX is the ONE and the ONLY overall choice I would put my money at !!!
what's the name of the color?
is the qx56 know the qx80?
Is that tony siragusa??
I agree, the older model had a more apealing exteriior.
Hey man, this is a great review but...
...what about the Audi Q7 Ron?
I think it's a great SUV and it's really comfortable but also very pricey, but what are your thoughts about it? And more importantly, will you be reviewing the Q7 anytime soon? :D
beautiful !!!!!!!!!!!!
This car should be the best car to drive because this and the nissan patrol are the first suv to be equiped with hydraulic body motion control system HBMCS... you should have mentioned that Ron Doron
This is the first vehicle that makes you look small dude. It must be massive!
@MfalmeVTold I wonder the same thing. I test drove both and went with QX.
The new QX has out sold the LX since it came out, they dont wish to be anything but Infiniti. Notice that all the revisions on the 2013 LX were all features that the QX has had since 2011. The LX might be as good as the QX now, but the QX makes a bolder statement.
This car is great!

But the pre-2013 isn't that great. It's hard to believe that one runs around $100,000! Maybe that's why I've seen like 2 in the last 5 months.
@r3sident101 It isn't in the same segment because it doesn't offer a third row seat.
i've got one, and im about to put 26's on it next week
Um, WHY would you chose the LX over the QX. Elaborate? This review seems unfinished.
my mom has this car its so cool
Great
@BMWDRE10
i dont know, it looks very aggressive, and futuristic to me, but it is very expensive!
I agree with everything this guy said here.
@fadygg0 x5 is not an suv.
Very striking SUV overall, however the QX56's quirky, lackluster interior design and cheap materials/trim throughout IMO aren't quite up to par with other competitors in it's class.
@BMWDRE10 yes the lexus is ugly,, what were they thinking,, im sure its all nice inside, but is a beastly looking thing
Fair comment. The LX has true rock-crawling capabilities like the Range Rover. the QX is fine for snow, mud and light duty, but it can't do what the Lexus LX570 or Toyota Land Cruiser can. I just got back from a hard-core Range Rover trip and their own instructors said that other than their vehicles, only the Toyotas and Jeeps can keep up.
Ronen Doron a lexus is GARBAGE a land cruiser is a UGLY piece of SHIT toyota TRASH
for a sec i thought it said auto boob ahah
@StfuMatthew18 Not really, the LS Hybrid and the LX I can agree on, but other then that Lexus is relatively affordable, the IS, ES, GS, GX & LS are cheaper then all of its rivals.
Be careful with the cheap steel. I’ve had two and both rotted underneath. Northeast weather and salt and sand. Other than that great vehicle. Just make sure to undercoat or rustproof depending where you live. I love the vehicle except the cheap steel.
It is a bad car?

Did he say the LX, noooooooooo!!! I don't think so.
I greed with this guy. Lx should be #1
@BMWDRE10 Yeah, his guy seems to know his stuff and doesnt blab on about stupid unnecessary attributes of other SUVs. I also disagree with his choice of putting the UGLY Lexus in first place, I just wish BMW had an SUV of this size to compare to. Haha something like a X7... if only.
@marciomarcio2007 It's better than the escalade in every way and would rather have this over the escalade.
For those who don't know Nissan Patrol in UA-cam SEARCH bar type NISSAN PATROL TURBO and watch those videos........ ;)
So can I and anyone else, do you even know whats under the hood of a car or do you just assume "of course its an engine!!" Just cause you can memorize and point out the name of a brand doesn't mean you know anything about cars. You must be a Genius!
@BMWDRE10
I dont agree with you, lexus LX is a beauty! about price, well you are talking about the largest SUV which means LARGE engines so thats why they cost more and on top of all that Lexus is a Luxury brand so... you need to pay to get luxury!, Regards
You kind of people only say that because you can't afford a Mercedes or Lincoln....
someone would actually prefer a Lexus over an Infiniti? dude, just LISTEN to infiniti's engines
PATROL is much better looking
Is English even your first language? You seem to be incompetent both grammatically and intellectually. Anyway you've been a great entertainment for the night. Have a nice life =)
@xv9vx 3la tbn :)
This thing looks like a wale
Lmao a Lincoln?? Are you serious, Lincoln is the like cheapest "premium" brand of the bunch anyone can afford one, Lincoln is like a Chrysler, you really have no idea about cars do you? BTW we have a 2007 Mercedes CLS, so your point is?
Those gills have got to go. Look like they are from jiffy lube.
My point is that you have no taste in cars....
Yeah I do know who the 1st grader is.... Shut up and stop reply if you know what is best......
Infinity fucks mersedes and stupid bmw
I dont think I'm better then everyone else & I dont think "I'm all that" but I do know I am more knowledgeable about cars then you, thats very apparent. You come here spewing false facts and pretending like you know things but you dont. And the way you repeat everything I say I can already determine who the 1st grader on here is. Your lack of intellect is equivelant to that of a neanderthal so get off your high horse and stop trying to use these adolescent comebacks to justify your comments
love the mountain sage color:)
Now this is a guy that understands SUVs...and I totally agree with his picks. That is a nice color too..
This thing looks beautiful !
I Have A Infiniti M35S Now But This QX56 Will Be My Next Infiniti Purchase
the all new gx470 right? yes look at the rear view window and you tell me?
Nissan and Infiniti is the greatest yet most underrated car company. More people should be driving these than Hondas or Yotas.
need longer review with more interior usage.. check out gear patrol. we need something like that.
@Sitti2300
... lucky one :)
The QX is now the same car as the new Nissan Patrol which was one of the toughest 4x4 ever built. It was called "The Land Cruiser Killer", it's been around since 1951 - longer than the LC ('54) or Range Rover ('70). I've got the previous version called Y61 and must admit that the car is just indestructible. It has live axles so is a bit uncomfortable, and that's its weak point ;)
1st .its based on the new NISSAN PATROL platform, 2nd THIS WOULD BE MY
1st and # 1 CHOICE TO BUY ,ITS HUGE AND ITS BIG AND ITS GREAT TO DRIVE..
Why would you choose that Lexus over the new QX?!
I love this truck, with the money, it would be a tough choice between this and an FX50.
This cars awesome
@BMWDRE10 lx is expensive, but it is truely a good one. for the style, i don't think it is ugly. some people like qx some people love lx.
@MfalmeVTold
I agree with you! It seems like a great SUV, and is priced less than the Lexus.
Woooh! Nice lx ;D nissan is great too
@Johncarson9113 Haha, he should've put the Q7 in this test, it doesnt compare in reliability to the japanese competitors but that SUV is deffinatly in my opinion one of the best when it comes to performance.
حظ ابوكم والجيب يا لبى الشاص والفي اكس ار
عز الله انها مواتر
تحياتي :أبو هتان الشهري
Like him I prefer the LX 570 (Arab Edition) with the new body panels, looks better in person.
Lexus LX is freaking expensive car.... but I love it.
I'd drive that..
16 mpg is still low
when a truck from 91 gets 14
I would take the Escalade Platinum Edition over any of those SUVs
It is ugly on the outside, but beautiful on the inside. If you ride in it, it makes all the cars (Camaro, Challenger, 300, Charger) you thought looked good feel extremely cheap. It's the only suv with a lot of rear legroom.
@aaad917 The LX is essentially an over priced Land Cruiser. For $79K I rather have taste and go with the Range Rover. The LX is no better then its competitors like the Audi Q7, Infiniti QX56 & Range Rover HSE.
The Landcruiser of Nissan... anything that's the something of the something isn't really the anything of anything.
Nissan wishes to be a Land Cruiser
I agree 100% with his ranking. This thing looks like a dinosaur. In a bad way.
looks like a rhino but not in a bad way!
@MrEngineerNasa
Haha, the ironic thing is that you called a company stupid when you couldn't even spell the companies name right. It's Mercedes bro, and it has a history of over 125 years and it's the most popular car when it comes to luxury sedans and high-end SUVs. The 2nd generation QX looks kinda weird but has a great interior. But you shouldn't simply go around saying that BMW is stupid, BMW and Mercedes are the safest cars around so read about them before simply bashing them. Peace.
@Johncarson9113 Sorry I don't agree, OVERALL rating of LX makes it the best (design/features/manufacturer/reliability/maintenance&parts cost/life time)
Range Rover/RR HSE/Audi Q7:Good looking cars with good features, but they share a very high maintenance cost & parts cost. The car will spend lot of time at maintenance more than being with you
InfinitiQX:Closest one to the LX for the reliability, but it is SO UGLY
You will know a good car by the used market value of it, LS & LX holds their price
well QX Looks better than the LX to me. Dont see why anybody would think its "ghetto"
@odgreez2004 Why would you feel bad for them?? The cost of your car is probably the cost of their gas in one year alone. lol
@Johncarson9113 Almost all of Lexus vehicles are overpriced. such as the Lexus LS Hybrid. that's an outrageous price. especially if we're supposedly saving the planet with that car.
My fucking helll
@sideslide23 Lol a Lincoln?? Are you kidding, no one shopping for a BMW, Audi, Lexus, Infiniti or Mercedes Benz is going to shop for a Lincoln unless they are on a constraint budget. Please, Lincoln doesn't even play in the same league as the Infiniti QX56. And American vs Japanese reliability, Lmao?? The reliability of an American car is a Joke next to the reliability of a Japanese car.
BTW I can name just about every car I see......
HAHA you welcome! :)
Qx56.....
in europe a car like that would be a complete flop. bmw x5,x6,audi q7 mercedes ml volkswagen tuareg porsche cayenne imho are better than those camions.
you are absolutely right....this car is UGLY....you have to give it a time to grown some "sentiment" ..... just like the Quest...another one competing for the ugliest car of the year.
This guy definitely knows his stuff (about SUV's), but his score of #1 for the Lexus LX is gross. That is the F-ugliest SUV on the road. Not to mention, grossly overpriced!
Bottom line.. Go buy a nissan patrol lol
Car is beautiful.... but lets see how far the average joe blow away his life savings for gas.
fuck you
this has to be the ugliest luxury suv to date. i feel bad when driving past ppl who own this thing...
looks like a whale
Speaker is a huge looser! Land cruiser of the nissan hahaha!!! Did someone waste his money paying that guy for this work?? ))
@ dukviper90 no doubt Nissan's cars are very good, reliable,...etc etc etc... But man...these two are the beast ugliness and repugnant. Hideous looking car,...
how ever a range rover is not as durable as this. A range rover is a high priced peice of junk!
