Features such as leather seats and trim, genuine wood accents, automatic climate control, premium audio and a full load of power amenities will be standard, as will Nissan's landscape view navigation system. Without a doubt, exterior fit and finish and interior quality will be an improvement over the previous QX4, and more importantly a major step up the build quality ladder when compared to domestic rivals.

The new model is a sure sign that Japan isn't merely satisfied dominating the small and midsize car market, but is now ready to take on domestic manufacturers in the only segment they still own, full-size trucks and SUVs - Nissan is also in the process of launching a full-size pickup truck named Titan.

From a styling perspective the new QX56 appears tough and rugged, while still exuding the upper crust refinement expected in its class. The brand's bold new four slat grille is larger than life, with an easily recognizable logo at dead center. The Pathfinder Armada's sharp creases have been softened in Infiniti trim, while rectangular fog lamps tie the new vehicle in with the outgoing QX4.
From the rear only minor design details distinguish the Infiniti from its Nissan sibling, particularly LED taillights, a slightly modified lower fascia and chrome accents surrounding the license plate. Its massive Infiniti insignia won't let passersby mistake it for the lesser priced Nissan either.
The QX56, the first Infiniti model to be assembled in North America, is set to go on sale at Infiniti dealerships during the spring of 2004 as a 2005 model.
