\n2011 Infiniti QX56 – Click above for image gallery<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nWhen Nissan unveiled the all-new Patrol<\/a> SUV in the Middle East last month, we already knew that we’d be seeing the rebranded Infiniti version as the 2011 QX56<\/a> at the New York Auto Show. Furthermore, spy photos<\/a> left little to the imagination. Today, leaked official images<\/a> leave exactly zero<\/em> to the imagination. <\/p>\n

Despite what appears to be an effort to infuse a dollop of FX style<\/a> to the front end, the 2011 Infiniti<\/a> QX56 manages to retain an awkward-looking “forehead” (much like its predecessor<\/a>) that’s reminiscent of Frankenstein’s monster, thanks to the not-insubstantial amount of bodywork that rises above the headlamps. There’s also a garish fender vent the approximate size of Martha’s Vineyard. While the QX56’s front and rear end treatments are unique to the Infiniti, the basic profile and daylight opening are identical to the new Patrol, as is the lavishly-appointed interior, which appears to just swap steering wheel logos. <\/p>\n

Given that we already know the vehicle nomenclature – QX56 – look for the same 5.6-liter, 400-horsepower, 405 pound-foot direct-injected V8 that’s available in the Nissan<\/a>. Likewise, we expect to see most, if not all, of the same technological features the new Patrol offers, such as its seven-speed automatic transmission, electronic four-wheel-drive with driver-selectable modes, and hydraulic anti-roll system. <\/p>\n

Check out the low-res leaked images<\/a> in the gallery below, which you can compare to our high-res Nissan Patrol set<\/a>. We’ll have full details in the new 2011 Infiniti QX56 later this week once the festivities get underway in New York.<\/p>\n
