In 2013, Infiniti renamed its entire range and, along with it, the M-series received the Q70 badge. But it wasn't only about the badge. It also about the new technologies brought in.
Nissan's luxury brand is well known in the U.S. and less appreciated in other parts of the world. But its vehicles sure does something different to offer. The design, the technology, and the interior solutions were special for this brand, which was like an underdog to the German rivals.
The fluid lines of the bodywork resembled the biodesign era, but with a maturity that wasn't reached when that style was the main trend. Its fluid lines made the car look like it was sculpted in liquid metal, with sculptured side panels that looked like waves. The front grille was a combination between 90 degrees angles and curved lines that surrounded the mesh.
Inside, the Q70 offered genuine leather for the contact zones and man-made leather for the areas that usually were not touched. The instrument cluster somehow resembled other Infiniti and Nissan models, but it was hard to find a flaw in their design. An infotainment unit was placed on top of the dashboard with touch-screen control. For the Bose audio system, the manufacturer installed speakers in the front seats so the passengers could hear the music better without pumping up the volume.
The US models went on sale in 2014 model year vehicles. Early models included 3.7, 3.7 AWD, 5.6, 5.6 AWD, and Hybrid. For the European market, a 2.2-diesel unit from Mercedes-Benz was available. The standard transmission was a 7-speed automatic.
