2000 Infiniti QX4

By Bob Storck

After an overhaul in mid-year and a complete redesign promised within the coming year, little has changed for QX4. The new model with use an uprated 3.5 liter engine.

With Nissan getting away from the sports and performance cars that the company has depended on to develop their sales, it is only logical that they turn to the luxury utility segment that has replaced them. Infiniti got in the market with their own version of the Pathfinder, and the QX4 that has all the upscale components, plus a completely reworked All-Mode all-wheel drive system.

This was a good move since the basic styling of the Pathfinder is short, and wide, which conveys purpose and solidity. As can be expected, QX4 is distinguished by different front sheet metal, plus distinctive tail lights so it is distinctive from all angles. The All-Mode system has a dash switch to select 2WD, AUTO or LOCK positions, and a lever on the floor selects low range.

Everything is power, windows, mirrors, and seats with eight way controls for the driver and four way for the front passenger.
