2008 Infiniti QX56 Full-Size Luxury SUV The award-winning QX56 enters the 2008 model year with its first major revision since its introduction in 2004. The QX56's exterior has been refined, while the interior has been upgraded to expand its already impressive list of comfort and convenience features and luxury technologies.

The 2008 QX56 is powered by a 5.6-liter V8 producing 320 horsepower and 393 lb-ft of torque. QX56 is available both in two-wheel drive (2WD) and four-wheel drive (4WD) configurations, the latter featuring the Infiniti All-Mode 4WD system with 2WD/4HI/4LO modes and an electronically controlled part-time transfer case with low gear.
Built on the rugged F-Alpha platform, QX56 remains the go-anywhere luxury adventure SUV with class-leading features.
Enhancement to the 2008 QX56 include: - New front full body-type fascia - New front halogen fog light design - New rear body-color fascia with revised shape - New one-piece roof rack design - New distinctive chrome grille - Standard power sliding tinted glass moonroof - One-piece chrome roof rack with crossbars - New standard 20x8JJ chrome alloy wheels and heavy-duty P275/60R20 Michelin tires - All-new standard Infiniti Hard Drive Navigation System with 7.0-inch LCD screen - Voice recognition for climate control, audio and navigation systems - Standard XM?

2008 Infiniti M Luxury Performance Sedan For 2008, the Infiniti M receives major upgrades that include the first-ever availability of Infiniti's intelligent ATTESA E-TS all-wheel drive system on the 4.5-liter V8-powered M45. The new model, designated M45x, joins the M35x to provide buyers with two choices in all-climate AWD performance.

Other enhancements for 2008 include revised interior and exterior styling and added luxury amenities and technologies, including the production debut of Infiniti's newest safety technology, the Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) system. LDP takes Infiniti's existing Lane Departure Warning system (currently implemented on the FX and the 2007 M sedan) one step further by utilizing the Vehicle Dynamic Control to apply slight brake pressure to the wheels opposite the side of the lane departure direction to help prevent the M from inadvertently traveling out of its travel lane.
The M45 continues to offer a 325-horsepower 4.5-liter aluminum-alloy DOHC V8, while the M35 features the award-winning VQ-series 3.5 liter V6, tuned for the M to produce 275 horsepower. For the new model year, both engines will be offered with rear-wheel drive and Infiniti's intelligent ATTESA E-TS all-wheel drive system. For 2008, previous M Sport models have been replaced by an available Sport Package.
Enhancements to the 2008 M include: - New M45x AWD model with intelligent ATTESA E-TS all-wheel drive - Production debut of Infiniti's Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) system - Revised front and rear fascia, headlights, grille, rear decklid and taillight design, rear fender panels, new chrome accents - New wheel designs - Available Sport Package with unique styling, Rear Active Steer (RAS), 19-inch wheels and tires - Increased differentiation between Sport Package and non-Sport Package vehicles with unique bumpers, side sills, headlight color and wheels - Rain sensing wipers - Infiniti Hard Drive Navigation System with touch-screen, 9.3GB Music Box hard drive for digital music storage and playback and available XM NavTraffic? (requires active XM? subscription, sold separately) - Revised interior and revised aluminum and wood trim - Standard High Intensity Discharge (HID) xenon headlights with Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS) (optionally available on M35 AWD) - Standard climate-controlled seats - New Stone interior color - New white instrument panel lighting with violet accents and white and violet interior lighting - Standard XM Satellite Radio (requires XM? subscription, sold separately) - Six new exterior colors (out of eight total)
