There's been a lot of talk about the Infiniti QX56 for 2004. As a leading truck in the sport utility market the QX56 (and in this case specically the Base version) has maintained a good reputation. The 4-door QX56 is especially appealing to broad audience, making it a perfect truck to help Infiniti as a brand in general.

The restyled QX56 Base is equipped with a 5.6-liter eight-cylinder engine that utilizes 32 valves. The engine is mated to a N/A five-speed transmission. This has resulted in an increase in horsepower and torque over the 2003 version.

The fuel system for the 2004 QX56 is a SFI design, using gasoline fuel. The fuel flow is controlled by a electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The fuel capacity of the fuel tank is 28.00 gallons.

The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The QX56 uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. Load balancing is provided by coil front springs and coil in the rear.

The listed retail price in 2004 (MSRP) was $47,400, with a dealer invoice cost of $43,551. This price is on target the industry average price for a four-door Sport Utility.

There is a 36,000 mile, 36 month warranty with this vehicle, including a powertrain warranty of 60,000/60 miles/months. This is normal for this price range.

Fuel Efficiency

We Think...

There are several reasons why the Infiniti QX56 Base sold well in 2004. Mainly the increase in availability and a marked improvement in quality meant the buying public was more apt to choose a Infiniti, specifically a QX56.
