Update: My own errors never cease to amaze me. The Q70 Sedan will debut tomorrow with a Q70L version.
Big news this week from Infiniti, which will debut revised versions of the QX70 Q70 and QX80 SUVs, formerly known as the FX M and QX.
The look is highly likely to reflect the latest QX60 and Q50 styles — but there is a nugget of interesting info here as well.
The new QX70 Q70 will debut a LWB version promising five extra inches of legroom in back! This will make it very commodious versus the pinched-glass version today.
So, in what must be the silliest use of time for a car coming out in less than 50 hours from this moment… here is a mash-up of the QX70 and the the QX60’s rear glass region — creating a pretty striking silhouette while also adding all that room in back…!
Stay tuned for the new QX70 and QX80 this Wednesday, and a full QX60 buyers guide from us tomorrow. Our coverage of the NY debuts may be slightly delayed because we are headed to Charlotte Motor Speedway for the big Mustang 50th celebration!
