The INFINITI Q70 performance luxury sedan embodies the essence of all things INFINITI – style, performance, luxury, craftsmanship and technology – in a choice of body styles and powertrains.
For 2018, the Q70 adopts the global INFINITI naming structure, adding LUXE to all model designations. Other changes for 2018 include revised package content and naming. The 2018 lineup includes the standard wheelbase Q70, the long-wheelbase Q70L with an additional 5.6 inches of rear seat legroom, and the "driver's hybrid" Q70 Hybrid.
The standard wheelbase INFINITI Q70 is offered in four models: the Q70 3.7 LUXE, Q70 3.7 LUXE AWD, Q70 5.6 LUXE and Q70 5.6 LUXE AWD. (For full information and specifications on the Q70 Hybrid and Q70L models, please visit infinitinews.com.)
The Q70's dramatic sports styling provides a powerful presence, along with a coefficient of drag of just 0.27. Inside, the roomy, comfortable Q70 interior environment features available leather-appointed seating, standard Japanese Ash wood trim or available White Ash silver-powdered wood trim and available premium audio and climate control systems.
Key features include INFINITI InTouchÔ Navigation with 8-inch color touch-screen display, lane guidance and 3-D building graphics, Voice Recognition for navigation functions, including one-shot voice destination entry; INFINITI InTouchÔ Services with six months of safety, security and convenience services; INFINITI Intelligent Key with Push Button Ignition; SiriusXM® Satellite Radio (SiriusXM® subscription required, sold separately); Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System; and power sliding tinted glass moonroof.

The Q70 3.7 LUXE features a 330-horsepower 3.7-liter V6 engine, while the Q70 5.6 LUXE offers a 420-horsepower 5.6-liter V8.
