5 reasons to buy the 2016 Infiniti QX70

1. Great tech 

While the 2016 QX70 was built before newer features like Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto were integrated, it still has a lot of built-in technology. You'll get a seven-inch color information display, Bluetooth® phone connectivity, an 11-speaker Bose® surround-sound audio system, and more. Search our lots for the Technology package, which has adaptive xenon headlights, automatic wipers, and driver aids like adaptive cruise control, a forward-collision mitigation system, and a lane-departure warning and prevention system. 

2. Impressive standard features 

Check out the base 2016 QX70, and you'll find standard exterior features like automatic xenon headlights, foglights, a sunroof, power-folding heated outside mirrors, and a power liftgate. The interior is great, too, with standard leather upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated eight-way power front seats with driver lumbar adjustments, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and a manual tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel. 

3. Sporty performance 

It's pretty quick, with a 3.7L V6 generating 325 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque. But, if you come across the Sport package, you can get performance and interior upgrades like 21-inch wheels, adaptive xenon headlights, dark-tinted exterior trim, contrasting stitching on interior surfaces, solid magnesium paddle shifters, and ventilated front sport seats with upgraded side bolsters and thigh support. 

4. More room inside 

The open road is calling, and the 2016 QX70 is ready. Behind the second row, there is 24.8 cu-ft of cargo space. That number expands to a maximum of 62 cu-ft with the rear seat folded. Meanwhile, with seating for five and a solid 34.6 inches of rear legroom, you'll have more room for more fun.  

5. Upgrades available 

If you want more comfort and convenience, look for the Premium package. It adds aluminum roof rails, driver memory settings, and a power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel. You can find the Deluxe Touring package, and you'll get features like quilted leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, aluminum pedals, pretty maple wood trim, and a cargo cover.
