Safety

The QX56 has some awesome safety features. There’s airbag protection for all three rows, including roof-mounted side curtain airbags with rollover sensors to protect passengers in a rollover. Also, the front seats have active head restraints to protect against whiplash and other neck injuries. There are all sorts of computerized systems to monitor traction and the four-wheel-disc antilock brakes to help avoid a collision. A very cool sonar system helps the cruise control maintain a safe distance to cars in front of you, and it pre-pressurizes the brakes in the case of an unavoidable collision.

One truly awesome safety feature is the backup camera. Lots of cars and SUVs have these, but the one in the QX56 has guidelines on the screen to show where the car is heading and how far it is from obstacles. It also starts beeping as you get closer to that car behind you; this made parallel parking a breeze, which is awesome in a car this big.
