Overall Rating
Infiniti Q70:
The Infiniti Q70 and Q70L is a line of mid-size luxury cars from Nissan luxury division Infiniti. Essentially an update to the Infiniti M series with minor cosmetic changes, the Q70 name was introduced to reflect Infiniti's updated "Q" nomenclature.
In 2013, the entire Infiniti line was renamed, with the M sedans becoming the Q70; this reflected the model's relative position in the Infiniti lineup, rather than the engine displacement as had previously been used.
US models went on sale in 2014 model year vehicles. Early models included 3. 7, 3. 7 AWD, 5. 6, 5. 6 AWD, Hybrid....(Read more on Wikipedia)
L (facelift 2014) Overview:
Infiniti Q70 (L (facelift 2014)). With 561 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. With a weight of 1963 kg, it falls in the mid‑range. All‑wheel drive provides excellent grip, ideal for off‑road use. A four-door car with a separate trunk, ideal for families and daily commuting. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
5.6 V8 (416 Hp) AWD Automatic Verdict:
Performance Verdict
Combines the V8's immense power with the added traction and stability of all-wheel drive, enhancing confidence in adverse weather conditions without sacrificing acceleration.
Fuel Economy
Extremely poor fuel economy, slightly worse than the RWD V8 due to the AWD system's added weight and friction. High running costs are a given.
Pros and Cons:
Pros:
- • Powerful and refined engine options (especially the V8)
- • Spacious and comfortable interior, particularly the extended rear legroom in 'L' models
- • Smooth and quiet ride quality, ideal for long journeys
- • Distinctive styling that stands out from German rivals
- • Generous standard features for its price point
Cons:
- • Outdated infotainment system and interior technology compared to competitors
- • Poor fuel economy, especially with the V8 engines
- • Less agile and engaging driving dynamics than some European rivals
- • Limited brand prestige compared to Mercedes-Benz, BMW, or Audi
- • Resale value can be lower than its direct competitors
