Similar to the previous model-year, the Q70 3.7 and Q70 5.6 models are offered with rear-wheel drive or Infiniti's Intelligent all-wheel drive (AWD) system.
The Q70 3.7L V-6 engine delivers 330 hp and 270 lb.-ft. of torque, while the Q70 5.6 offers a 420 hp and 417 lb.-ft. of torque. Both engines feature Infiniti's advanced variable valve event and lift (VVEL) system and all models are equipped with a standard 7-speed automatic transmission.
The Infiniti Q70 Hybrid comes with the automaker's Direct Response Hybrid system, an advanced one-motor, two-clutch parallel hybrid system that helps deliver fuel efficiency of 34 mpg highway, 29 mpg city and 31 mpg combined.
The Infiniti Direct Response Hybrid system's precise, high-speed motor control technology, enabled by the lithium-ion battery, allows power to be delivered directly to the 7-speed automatic transmission. The system also utilizes an innovative Hybrid Electric Power Steering system and Electric Driven Intelligent Brake regenerative braking system, both of which help conserve energy.
Notable additions to all Q70 models are the available predictive forward collision warning, backup collision intervention systems, Infiniti advanced air bag system (AABS), 3-point front seat belts with pretensioners and load limiters and adjustable upper anchors; vehicle security system with Infiniti's vehicle immobilizer system, front seat active head restraints with 4-way manual adjustments, and more.

AI is no longer a future concept for fleets—it’s already embedded in the tools, data, and decisions that operators rely on every day. In this episode of the Fleet Forward Podcast, recorded live at Fleet Forward, industry leaders take the conversation beyond hype to examine what responsible AI adoption really looks like in fleet operations.
As fleets rethink how they capture, manage, and act on vehicle data, telematics is at a major inflection point. In this episode of the Fleet Forward Podcast, we dive deep into one of the most pressing questions facing fleet leaders today: Should you rely on OEM factory-installed connectivity, aftermarket devices, or a hybrid of both?
Experts from telematics analytics, fleet-as-a-service operations, and national EV benchmarking share how real-time data is reshaping fleet strategy—dispelling assumptions, validating best practices, and exposing costly missteps.
A powerhouse panel featuring experts from the American Automotive Leasing Association, CalSTART, and municipal fleet leadership dives into the realities of navigating shifting emissions rules, regulatory waivers, federal agency actions, the future of the EPA’s endangerment finding, and the push for unified standards. They also examine the impacts of tariffs, autonomous vehicle policy, battery innovation, and the accelerating global EV market.
This episode kicks off with a deep dive into the technologies and market forces reshaping today’s fleet landscape. Host Chris Brown is joined by Laolu Adeola (Leke Services), Tyson Jomini (J.D. Power), and Richard Hall (ZappiRide) to break down real-world data, shifting incentives, and practical strategies fleet leaders can use right now.
In the middle of natural disasters fleet managers must shift priorities to protect people and assets. What policy items should be loosened, and when should the line be held?
In this episode, fleet leaders from municipal, university, and private-sector organizations share a candid EV reality check. From infrastructure setbacks and policy whiplash to grant funding, total cost of ownership, and charging resiliency, this conversation dives into what it actually takes to scale electrification in the real world.
After a decade of lagging compensation, fleet manager pay is climbing. But expanding responsibilities, larger fleets, and growing complexity continue to redefine the role.
