Previously named the FX, the 2014 INFINITI QX70 is an iconic crossover that perfectly embodies the brand’s dedication to premium design, inspiring performance, and innovation.
For starters, this four-door, five-passenger CUV boasts aggressive styling that hints to its athletic prowess on the road. The silhouette is highlighted by sharp front-to-rear shoulder lines. Meanwhile, a kicked-back roofline and integrated spoiler help to inform the tight greenhouse shape.
Equipped with a 3.7-liter V6 engine with VVEL, the QX70 delivers 325 HP with 267 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission featuring Adaptive Shift Control, this advanced ride uses a lateral acceleration sensor to detect topographical changes in the road, such as hills or corners. With this information, it can then intuitively pre-select the optimal gear for the conditions. To further impress, ASC is also capable of observing motorist behaviors and adapting to operator feedback.
Also included with the technology package is a series of semi-autonomous functions that help to improve safety and security. Distance Control Assist enables you to maintain a safe space between other vehicles, while Lane Departure Prevention ensures the QX70 is always moving forward on its rightful path during freeway commutes.
