The verdict on the Infiniti Q70
The Q70 is up against some tough opposition but the new 2.2-litre diesel engine makes it more of a contender than it ever has been.
The cabin is beautifully finished, well kitted out and is up there with the Audi A6 when it comes to build quality. In terms of driving dynamics, the Q70 can’t match the 5 Series, but it’s a luxurious and comfortable cruiser, so it excels where it’s designed to.
The new diesel engine also makes the Q70 very affordable to run as a company car. It matches Audi and BMW when it comes to running costs and we see no reason it should not make your shortlist.
