2014 Infiniti QX70: Dare To Be Different

The term 'Bionic Cheetah' is actually how Infiniti refers to the design aesthetic used to define the shape of the QX70.

At least part of its surefooted demeanour can be attributed to its standard all-wheel drive system.

The 2014 Infiniti QX70 sports one of the boldest looks in its class.

Infiniti also offers an optional adaptive suspension.

The vehicle's responsiveness to steering inputs and its body control are a cut above.

The QX70 isn't necessarily a family hauler but rather a premium lifestyle accessory.

The QX70's passenger compartment isn't exactly reminiscent of any particular predatory mammal.

The 2014 Infiniti QX70 isn't about mass-market appeal.

Nissan - and by extension, its luxury sub-brand, Infiniti - is an automaker that's willing to take risks.

The Infiniti QX70 I drove was motivated by the brand's trusted 3.7-liter V6.

After driving the QX70, I'm certainly glad that Infiniti's building something this audacious.
