Infiniti Q70L 400,000 medium and large sedan product evaluation

Infiniti Q70L has different identities in different regions, the Y51 on sale is actually the second-generation Nissan Fengya (FUGA), and in Europe it is the fourth-generation M, which is divided into M25, M37, and M56 according to displacement. The Y51 generation Q70 has been on sale since 2009, which is quite long-lived, and the replacement has been put on the agenda.
 
The Q70L used to have 2.5L naturally aspirated and 3.5L hybrid in China, but the 2019 model canceled the VQ25HR engine and changed it to Mercedes-Benz's M274 DE20 LA, which is 2.0T turbocharged, and the 3.5H hybrid model is still on sale. VQ25 machine with 7AT, self-priming characteristics are obvious, low rev soothing, high rev sport, so that Q70L has a very special sporty feeling in this class. After the 2.0T engine is replaced, the power output has been reduced, but the peak torque platform has been advanced to 1500-3500 rpm, and it can output strong power without stepping on high rpm every day.
 
The Q70L's central control and interior adopt a complex and refined old-school style, which is no longer fashionable by today's aesthetic standards, but it does create a unique sense of luxury for Infiniti with delicate workmanship and solid materials. There are too many knobs and buttons on the center console, which is very outdated compared with the current mainstream C-class cars, but it is more convenient to operate blindly, but the reflection of the screen is too serious.
 
As Infiniti's top executive car, Q70 takes care of the rear row very well, in addition to the rear electric suction door, rear sunshade, 5.1 channel BOSE audio with active noise cancellation function, rear independent entertainment system These "flowers", the rear seat itself is wide and comfortable and loose adjustability, which is the most difficult part of the rear row of European luxury cars to catch up. The rear seats are very comfortable for two people, but if there are passengers sitting in the middle, the feeling of crampedness will follow. Storage space is decent, but the battery kit on the hybrid significantly compresses the trunk space.
 
In terms of reliability, the Q70L performed poorly in the American "Consumer Reports", and many components had a high incidence of failure, but in China, the number of complaints about the Q70L was not large, especially the engine, chassis and gearbox performed well, and there were no reliability problems.
 
Infiniti's safety performance has also always been reassuring. In the IIHS crash test, he did not participate in the co-pilot's small-area offset crash test, and the rest of the basic items: frontal small-angle overlap collision, frontal moderate overlap collision, side impact, top impact, headrest and seat were all "excellent", and won the 2016 TSP evaluation, but never won the TSP award again.
