Additional standard tech features include satellite radio, a USB port, and a six-speaker stereo system. 

3. Lots of power under the hood 

The 2018 Infiniti Q70 has a lot to offer in the performance department, as well. It’s a powerful sedan capable of quick acceleration, with enough strength to effortlessly carry up to five passengers and their cargo while reaching excitingly high speeds. The base engine on the 2018 Infiniti Q70 is a 3.7L V6 with 330 hp, coupled to a seven-speed automatic transmission. There is an even stronger engine available if you want more power – a 420-hp, 5.6L V8.

There is decent room for storage, which you can use for family trips or running errands around town. With a 14.9-cu-ft trunk, you can carry along a couple of midsize suitcases and carry-on bags, as well as a week’s worth of groceries, golf bags, or other sporting equipment for you or your kids. 

5. Stylish exterior 

On top of all the amenities, tech features, and impressive engine options, the 2018 Infiniti Q70 comes with a beautiful exterior design, as well. It has a stylish, elegant exterior that’s comparable to the best luxury sedans out there. Among the first things that will catch your eye when you look at the 2018 Infiniti Q70 is the wide stance with a long, low hood, accompanied by a raised rear end for a more aerodynamic profile. It’s a sporty look overall, further accentuated by the deep body shape of the fenders, as the manufacturer itself likes to point out. Elements such as the double-arch grille with waved mesh finish and chrome surround, along with the dual exhaust with polished tips, make the Q70 that much more imposing.
