Infiniti would like its Q70 to take the fight to BMW and Mercedes class leaders. Sadly, it isn't up to their lofty standards

Good stuff

Quick in Hybrid guise, exclusivity, dealers supposedly excellent

Bad stuff

Crashy ride, steering

Overview

What is it?

Infiniti is the posh arm of Nissan, and it’s been selling well in America for years now. So they thought they’d bring it over to Europe, just as the biggest recession in decades took hold. Whoops. But Infiniti is persisting, and the car that takes the fight to the 5-Series and E-Class is this, the Q70 (formerly, the M). It’s got all the right engines now – petrol, diesel, hybrid – and all trim levels come loaded with standard spec. Not that any of this is really helping sales over here.

What's the verdict?

Interesting, but there are much, much better cars available for the same money.
