2016 Infiniti QX70 in Chester, VA - $22,700

Developed as a showcase of Infiniti’s design and technology leadership, the second-generation Infiniti QX70 (formally known as the FX) offers exceptional levels of power, refinement, safety and driving exhilaration. The QX70 continues to prove that luxury doesn't have to be dull – in look, interior indulgences or the driving experience. For 2015, the QX70 is offered in two models – QX70 and QX70 AWD with Infiniti Intelligent All-Wheel Drive.

Also available are four special equipment packages: Premium Package, Deluxe Touring Package, Technology Package and the Sport Package, which offers unique dark finish exterior accents, 21-inch dark finish aluminum-alloy wheels and sport seats.

The special QX70 Sport Package provides an added level of stealthy performance appearance with a dark finish front grille with dark finish upper and lower surrounds, and dark finish fog light surrounds, outside mirror housings, side air vents, lower side moldings, roof rails, and upper and lower trunk finishers.

The Infiniti QX70 is offered in eight exterior colors: Graphite Shadow, Malbec Black, Umbria Twilight, Liquid Platinum, Black Obsidian, Midnight Mocha, Moonlight White and Iridium Blue.

Power for the iconic Infiniti crossover is generated by a 3.7L V6 prime mover with VVEL (Variable Valve Event & Lift) joined to a responsive seven-speed automatic transmission.

Along with its dramatic, aerodynamic body structure is an equally advanced body structure, offering room for five adults and the capacity to hold four full-size golf bags. QX70 utilizes the rigid FM (for Front Midship) platform architecture, with a balanced front-to-rear weight distribution to help provide exceptional handling performance.

Control hardware consists of an independent suspension which is utilized at all four corners. A double-wishbone suspension design is employed up front with a multi-link design at the rear. Large-diameter stabilizer bars are found front and rear. The suspension system also incorporates special Dual Flow Path shock absorber technology with rebound springs for responsive yet comfortable ride and firm, tight handling.

The QX70’s interior includes a command center-style cockpit designed to enhance the driving experience. The leather-appointed front seats offer 10-way driver’s side/8-way passenger side power adjustments and are available with a heating and cooling function for maximum comfort in any season. Heated front seats are now standard on all FX models. The available driver’s sport seat adds power-adjustable side bolsters and a manual thigh extension. The high-tech interior design includes an Infiniti signature double-wave instrument panel and Fine Vision electroluminescent gauges.

The QX70’s interior’s array of comfort and convenience equipment ranges from a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob to dual front and rear cupholders, four 12-volt power outlets, power windows with front one-touch auto-up/down function, power door locks and available tonneau cover and aluminum pedal accents.
