Looking for an SUV with serious power? Nowadays, when cars are getting smaller and smaller, the market for a powerful, luxury SUV seems to be growing smaller, too. That's where the 2012 Infiniti QX56 comes in.

In Chicago, Infiniti QX56 owners who purchased the 2011 model, which saw a complete overhaul, were extremely satisfied with their purchase. Has Infiniti continued its success with the 2012 QX56? Let's find out.

The automaker's high-tech safety features are all here including Lane Departure Warning, Lane Departure Prevention, Blind Spot Warning, Blind Spot Intervention, Intelligent Cruise Control, Distance Control Assist, etc. Needless to say, this is one safe vehicle. With its advanced systems, it'll be watching the road as well as you!

In Evanston, Infiniti G37 owners love all the safety features, but for them it's really the interior that counts. And the 2012 QX56 embodies the word luxury. With soft-touch surfaces and stitched leather upholstery, this vehicle puts others to shame. Its central console is streamlined and elegant. There are no seemingly endless rows of buttons and knobs.

For previous QX56 owners, nothing is more important than the engine. And this 2012 model has outstanding performance. With its 400 horsepower, direct-injection V8, it's capable of handling anything you throw at it.

The QX56 might not be for everyone. But for those with a large family and serious towing needs, this vehicle is indispensable.
