Excellent vehicle, reliable and fast

Had the car for 4 years. I have 147K miles on the car and as long as you keep up with oil change and other fluids then you can expect reliability. Keep in mind things like belts, plugs, coils and filters. Too many people dont tae proper care of their cars then complain when reliability is horrible. Also skip the dealer once warranty expires. Find good Japanese Auto specialty shop and go there. The 3.5 and 3.7 engines are common and anyone who is familiar can perform maintenance on these easily and any repairs are not difficult. It eats up gas easily during city driving and its PREMIUM only , but if that bothers you then you may not have enough to tend to maintenance and should consider a cheaper vehicle. Overall the looks are great. The interior has enough tech stuff to be functional, but not to the extent to be annoying. I also have a 2019 S550 and too many electronics and it is very annoying particularly at night. The Infiniti has enough for function without overdoing it. Comfortable, luxury sport crossover that really defined the segment. Wish they would revamp the FX/QX70.

Really upset

My car had only 73,000 miles on it and the transmission had gone out. It’s $9.000 to get fixed, I’m really not understanding why the whole transmission goes out at 73,000 miles.

QX 70 needs more work

It’s OK I just bought it for my dogs and myself. There’s plenty a room backseat sucks. Nissan needs to work on their infotainment system updated. Looks like a good year blimp on donuts tires engineers need to get busy on producing a more well-rounded vehicle

Love My 2016 Infiniti QX70S

I purchased my first Infiniti in November 2020 it was a FX35 3.5liter Rear wheel drive loaded with 70,000 miles on it. I fell in love with it as soon as I sat in the drivers seat the beauty of the Sapphire Black paint with the wheat leather interior sporty dashboard and 3.5 power plant with dual exhaust sold me as soon as I pushed the push start on the dash and the 300hp came to life. Driving was as fun as a well tuned sport sports car and there was no rolling in curves on heavy acceleration and 0 to 60 in about 6 seconds was very nice. The audio is a game changer with Bose Sounds. After 96,000 miles I decided to trade it in and upgrade to my second Infiniti a 2016 QX70S with 70,000 miles featuring a 3.7 liter with 325hp a 8speed transmission with paddle shifters and 21 inch Blacked out wheels as well as grill and side mirrors along with the blacked out luggage rack with a throaty dual exhaust. The moonlight white exterior with the black leather interior with purple stitching really looks sharp. My 2012 FX35 was trouble free and rode excellent with 96,000 miles on it very dependable and sharp, My 2016 QX70 Sport is a upgrade with a bigger engine, all wheel drive and upgraded navigation and I’m betting will give me years of trouble free dependable enjoyable driving, I’m sold on Infiniti crossovers and cars as well for life and won’t go back to domestic cars or SUVs. Great Fun to drive and a peace of mind when it comes to dependability, Infiniti knocked it out the park with the QX70S Love it!

Bang for the Buck!

I loved my '05 FX45, and my '16 QX70 is quickly moving up the list! Eye catching looks, impressive performance, and great driving experience combine to make this a special car. Add the fact that service can mostly be done at any Nissan dealer, and this is a luxury car with simple needs. I do wish Infiniti had improved their electronics, but they work fine as-is.

Liked it so much I bought two!

Love the body style inside and out. Bought the first generation 2004 FX and the last generation 2017 QX70s. Handles outstandingly well, loaded with excellent safety features like lane departure, ABS Breaking, Break Assist,Traction Control, Vehicle Immobilizer, heated and cooling seats. 325HP, 21in. high performance tires. You feel the road a bit when you drive but, isn't that what sport vehicles are supposed to do? This is an outstanding car.

Awesome suv

The interior is very luxurious and it has great power. So many features couldn't ask for more. The only negative is gas mileage but it isn't horrible milage

Looks sleek and fun to drive

Nice car. Always wanted one since the days of the FX35 and finally had the opportunity to purchase at a reasonable price. Lots of updates technical features including the 20” rims, leather interior, sunroof, alarm system and Bose stereo system.
