Overview

The 2017 Infiniti Q70 is a midsize sedan offered in 2 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $50,100. For that price, it mainly competes with the Audi A6 Sedan, the Jaguar XF Sedan, and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Sedan. Between 2 trims, the Q70 offers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 3.7L V6 capable of making 330 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also a 420 horsepower-making 5.6L V8 engine. Both engines are mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission. The Q70 reaches 60 MPH from zero in 5.8 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 5.2 seconds with the V8 engine. Depending on the powertrain, the Q70 can manage a combined fuel economy of between 19 and 21 MPG. While we're on the topic of choices, the 7 striking colors the Q70 comes in really pull you towards itself.

Buying Advice

The 2017 Infiniti Q70 is an impressive option in the segment. There are two trims offered and we recommend purchasing the V8-powered, higher trim that has a more punchy powertrain.
