For those who love the feeling of getting behind the wheel of a sports car, yet require the extra space and utility of an SUV, the 2017 INFINITI QX70 might just be the perfect compromise.
Where performance and handling are concerned, The Car Connection considers it “essentially a G37 with a taller body that works remarkably well.†Equipped with a 3.7-liter V6 engine, it can easily produce up to 325 HP with 267 lb-ft of torque. Matched with a seven-speed automatic transmission, this athletic CUV has no problem accelerating both quickly and smoothly.
Meanwhile, Speed-Sensing Steering enhances both maneuverability and comfort by providing extra power assistance at low velocities — such as when you’re parking or turning — in order to make the QX70 exceptionally easy to handle. At higher clips, the electronic system can recognize your accelerated rate and gradually reduce the level of resistance.
Rolling on 21-inch wheels, this mid-size crossover remains relatively light on its “feet†and provides a journey that is firm without being bumpy or jarring. Inside, it offers 102.5 cu-ft of passenger volume, with room for up to five occupants to commute comfortably.Â
