Rear-drive luxury sedan (2014-2019). VQ V6 or VK56 5.6 V8. The renamed M-series flagship.
The Infiniti Q70 is the renamed M-series, a mid-to-full-size rear-drive luxury sedan. It offered VQ V6 power, a hybrid, and a VK56 5.6 liter V8 in the Q70 5.6, making it a quietly quick executive sedan with proper rear-drive balance. A long-wheelbase Q70L added rear-seat space. The Q70 5.6 with the V8 is the enthusiast curiosity, a smooth and torquey luxury cruiser. On WhipJury, the Q70 appears as a comfortable, understated alternative to the German executive sedans.
