Infiniti Q70L
Infiniti had showcased the long
wheelbase version of the Infiniti Q70, known as the Infiniti Q70L at the 2015
Shanghai Auto Show.
The Infiniti Q70L bears the same design
as the Q70, but staying true to the name, has a wheelbase increase of 5.9
inches which translates to more cabin space and legroom for the rear
passengers. The front-end gets the signature double-arch grille and LED headlights
along with LED DRLs. The fog lamps are integrated into the front bumper and
have been accentuated by twin chrome strips. The rear is defined by the LED
headlights and a thick chrome strip on the bootlid along with big round tail
pipes.
The interior flaunts high quality
materials such as handcrafted wood and custom leather. Infiniti says that the
whole cockpit is an extension of the driver, and all controls and switches are
intuitively located within easy reach. The infotainment system is accessed
through a 7-inch color display. The long wheelbase version also comes with
added convenience for rear passengers such as heated seats, reading light and
12V power outlet. The automaker also claims that the car is quieter at high
speeds owing to added noise insulation materials, stiffening of the wheels and
better sealing.
Two engines are available for the
Infiniti Q70L, these are a 3.7-liter V6 producing 330 hp / 366 Nm and a more
powerful 5.6-liter Direct Injection Gasoline (DIG) V8 generating 420 hp / 565
Nm. Both engines are married to a 7-speed automatic unit.
