2001 Infiniti QX4 - Electric Vehicle Guide
The 2001 Infiniti QX4 belongs to a Infiniti QX4 lineup that Know Your Ride tracks across 3 model years, from 2000 to 2002. It is an all-electric vehicle, so it skips the oil changes, spark plugs and exhaust-system service of a combustion QX4 entirely. It is configured as rear-wheel drive with an automatic 4-spd. The 2001 sits mid-run, with both earlier (2000) and later (2002) QX4 model years also documented.
The high-voltage battery is covered for 8 years or 100,000 miles, separate from the bumper-to-bumper warranty. Routine upkeep centers on tire rotation, DOT 3 brake fluid, OAT Coolant battery/cabin coolant, cabin air filters and brake service rather than engine oil. Know Your Ride lists 14 scheduled maintenance items for this vehicle, the earliest interval falling at 7,500 miles. Documented torque values include lug nut 80 ft-lb.
