The 2008 Infiniti QX is said to have design on a grand scale, coupled with inspiring strength and responsive control. An impressive feature is its all-mode 4-wheel drive, which can adjust to surrounding conditions for a safer ride, no matter how rough the road might be. This feature increases towing capacity, making it possible for the QX to haul even a heavy boat up a steep ramp.

Power is a definite quality in the ‘08 QX, as its V8 engine generates 320-horse power and has 393 lb-ft of torque.

Its impressive navigation system, which includes Real Time Traffic Information that makes it possible to avoid traffic jams by finding alternate routes, as well as shorter and faster ones, also includes Birdview, which offers an elevated 3-D sense of the driver’s surroundings.

Other tech-savvy features that show the QX is advanced include the RearView Monitor, assisting the driver in parking by showing views of behind the vehicle, showing objects that might otherwise be unseen, and a mobile entertainment system that can keep rear passengers occupied with a movie or plug-in video game. An Intelligent Key System with push-button ignition also is impressive, showing this vehicle is smart enough for the competition.

Safety is another asset, and the QX comes standard with dual front airbags and seat belt sensors. This model was designed with the family in mind, and showing that are LATCH attachments for child restraint safety seats. Vehicle Dynamic Control and Traction Control add to safety, keeping the vehicle in control in even hazardous road conditions.

Infinity’s 2008 QX is safe, innovative and reliable, making it likely to be a must-have for buyers this year.
