Summary
The Infiniti QX4 can be rated on two distinct levels. One obvious comparison is with the Nissan Pathfinder. We found the QX4's higher price fully justified by the four-wheel drive system's sophistication, the longer-running warranty and the interior's luxury trim. Quality is not an issue, as both vehicles rate top marks in that area.The QX4 also scores well against a horde of SUVs in the $35,000 and up range. The QX4 may be bested by one or two rivals in acceleration performance or serious off-road capability, but as an all-around package the Infiniti sport-utility is hard to beat. QX4 owners will not likely lose too many drag races and they'll just as likely be able to go anywhere they want.
