Overview

Cars like the 2018 Infiniti Q70 Hybrid Sedan might not be able to give you the direct benefits one might expect from its hybrid powertrain. However, its usefulness must not be overlooked. The Q70 Hybrid uses its 3.5L V6, a single-motor hybrid system, and a 1.4 kWh battery to produce 360 horsepower. This gives the Q70 Hybrid a 0-60 of 5.5 seconds. The hybrid engine here is to support the gasoline engine to boost performance and offer slightly better fuel economy than what a single gasoline engine would be capable of. That said, the 2018 Q70 Hybrid achieves a combined fuel economy of 30 MPG. As part of the midsize sedan, the Q70 Hybrid competes with the Lexus GS 450h Hybrid Sedan, the Acura RLX Hybrid Sedan, and the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid Sedan which has the lowest price tag among the bunch. It offers a single trim with a base MSRP of $56,400. 

Buying Advice

A majority of driving aids are optional which comes under the ProACTIVE Package worth $3,300. That said, the $3,900 Sensory Package is also available which upgrades the sound system and brings some interior changes including premium silver-powdered white ash wood accents.
