2014 Infiniti QX70 – In the year of 2014, Nissan’s luxury brand automaker, Infiniti has changed its model naming strategy. Except for G sedan that’s remained the same, 2014 sedan models are named with Q prefix while the 2014 crossovers and SUV models are named with QX prefix. Following that change, 2014 Infiniti QX70 has been released at the exact released time of its competitor, the Volvo XC90 and Porsche Cayenne. As said, this 2014 Infiniti QX70 simply as the incarnation of it’s predecessors, the mid-size luxury-type coupe-like crossover Infiniti FX37 and FX50.
Exterior
Although it has been a bit refined, there is nothing new in the exterior design compared to the late 2013 Infiniti FX37 and FX50’s combination of sport-car performance and SUV functionality. High-ends materials such as aluminum, galvanized steel, or composite panels are used for this 2014 Infiniti QX70’s body frame. 2014 Infiniti QX70 has the masculine-intimidating look of “Supranatural Cheetah” with is bold, curvy and muscular metal skin. It’s just a nice combination of a fast, sleek shape and a tall-wagon body design. For more details, this QX70 has chunky nose, low roof and vibrant roofline, also a sharply ascending rear window and sloping rear roof. Every model has standard equipments such as wrap-around tail lamps, rear spoiler, and 20-inch alloy wheels set within all-season tires.
Interior
2014 Infiniti QX70 has elegant, warm and inviting look on its interior which is marked by premium materials such as soft leather, brushed aluminum and genuine wood trim. The five passengers seats set up is leather seating. As a driver-focused crossover, the front seats is made to be delightful with its heating and cooling element beside the availability to adjust in a variety of directions, while the rear seats set up for three passengers are a bit uncomfortable, especially for one in the middle-all thanks to the driveline hump that used as an obstruction. Despite all the luxurious look, it has nothing remarkable-technological display to catch our attention. Another minus is the narrow spaces for the back cargo as a result of the curvy body style.
Engine
2014 Infiniti QX70 has 325 horsepower 3.7-liter V6 engine that provides 267 lb-ft of torque. As for who are preferring something more muscular, the 5.0-liter V8 that cranks out 390 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque could be chosen. The V6 has 2,000-pound towing capabilities while the V8 has 3,500.
Price
For the price, rear-wheel-drive starts at $44,950, $46,400 for the all-wheel-drive, and $61,500 for the all-wheel-drive QX70 5.0 V8. Despite the exterior and interior design, Infiniti QX70 2014 is made to challenge on the road with its well-balanced weight.
