The 2017 INFINITI QX70 — formerly referred to as the FX — offers drivers the luxury of a sedan and the utility of an SUV: all wrapped up in a tight looking package with significant curb appeal.
The Car Connection calls it one of the most driver-focused crossovers available on the market today, and we tend to agree.
This tall wagon is all smooth lines and curvaceous angles. Scalloped LED wraparound headlights complement the iconic front grille. Meanwhile, the racy roof draws the eye towards the sporty hatchback of the tail end (which provides easy access to rear cargo).
Its platform is derived from the G37 sedan (now the Q50), which gives this vehicle its excellent handling—proven to be especially impressive on winding mountain roads.Â

Equipped with a 3.7-liter V6 engine that is paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission, it can easily produce up to 325 HP. Further fitted with both sport mode capabilities and rev-matching (to ease the transition into lower gears), drivers will enjoy high-performance capabilities in this luxury CUV.Â
