The Infiniti QX4, a mid-size SUV, from the Infiniti brand of Nissan was launched in September 1996. It is based on the unibody concept of the Nissan Pathfinder and was also the first entry level SUV from Nissan.

This was Nissan’s answer to the newly launched Acura SLX and Lexus LX450. Although the concept of the QX4 was based on the Pathfinder but there was major variations between them. The Infiniti QX4 had more stylish looks and the interiors were also a notch above the Pathfinder. The Infiniti QX4 is very good when it comes to off-roading and this is owing to its low range 4-wheel drive and great ground clearance.

In the year 2000, Nissan reworked on the QX4 and came out with an upgraded model for the year 2001. The engine was also revamped and a new 3.5L VQ engine was introduced. This increased the power a lot from the earlier 3.3L 240hp V6 engine. The exterior and interior of the vehicle was also worked on. A new dashboard with an analog clock was introduced. New Xenon headlights along with 17 inch alloy wheels were part of the facelift. A new model of the Infiniti QX4 in rear-wheel drive was also included in the line-up.

The upgraded QX4 also shared the Intelligent Cruise Control of Nissan. The system uses laser sensors to find the distance from the car ahead. The QX4 will then automatically speed up or slow down to keep the distance constant. The wood/leather steering wheel, new audio system and entertainment system make the ride as comfortable as possible. In 2003, Nissan also worked on the safety features of the Infiniti QX4 and included curtain side airbags. This was a part of the standard package and was included for the first time.
