Infiniti QX4 Performance Overview
Infiniti’s QX4 performance story on this page spans 5 verified tests across 1997 to 2001, covering the early WD22 generation as a gasoline, naturally aspirated SUV. Over those model years, output evolved from the 168-hp VG33E V6 to the 240-hp VQ35DE V6, and the data shows a clear improvement in straight-line pace. The earliest result here, a 1997 SUV, reached 60 mph in 11.5 seconds, while another 1997 SUV took 12.0 seconds, establishing the slow end of the recorded range.
By 2001, the updated WD22 delivered the quickest figures in this sample. The best-tested 2001 SUV cut 0-60 to 8.7 seconds and ran the quarter-mile in 16.5 seconds at 83 mph, both the strongest results in the set. Across all five tests, the QX4 averaged 10.22 seconds to 60 mph and 17.42 seconds in the quarter-mile at 77.8 mph, placing its performance progression squarely in its engine update and late-run refinements.
