This design is going to look modern for like 15 more years

[@chrisonyeso8529]

Forever

[@IFPanama]

Maybe forever! 😍

[@polarbear111000]

Best looking SUV on the road........no question.

[@goldkrs5683]

2024 and this car looks great. I love this style, very beautiful car.

[@Philmoscowitz]

I think this is one of the coolest looking SUVs on the market. Even just the exterior styling is fantastic. And, yes, unique.

[@mybeeb1]

My beautiful and amazing Princess it's older than the Macan

[@xu5949]

My beautiful and amazing Princess the design of this car come out at like 2005 or something

[@seanlovi8798]

This car's design is old but when you see it in person it still turns your head. The competitors do not attract attention like this car, they all have generic and conservative designs. It is a really cool car, thanks for the detailed review.

[@raduvlad4429]

bullshit

[@autogefuehl]

thanks sean!

[@seanlovi8798]

***** I have just watched the older review of the QX70 diesel, and again very nice detailed review. Personally i would go for that one, because of the MPG.

[@FalcoBikes]

As a proud owner of the FX from well over a decade ago, I am pretty pleased with having driven such a magnificent vehicle... along with the SL, CLS, 350Z, etc. You see a pattern.

[@mynamehaschanged]

It's a shame the interior looks so outdated because from the outside it looks awesome.

[@eddiecardinal3615]

These cars are built to last. I drive a 2003 fx35 with 162000 miles. It still runs like a champ. Very stylish and responsive. I plan on driving it for 2-3 more years.

[@tolutripz]

How can you not love Thomas? I enjoy your very detailed reviews

[@autogefuehl]

[@Carpassion19]

So true!

[@mojojojo_BB]

Those side vents are functional.

[@mikehackett6353]

I bought a 2017 CPO with 9000 miles on it 20 months ago and absolutely love it as it is so fun to drive. The fit and finish is excellent.

[@alpinaB12coupe]

[@autogefuehl]

great man! :)

[@adventurecampexplore5496]

Excellent review... I'm actually looking at buying one in a couple of months time. Yes, the interior is very outdated, but the exterior looks, the grunt and drivability of the QX70 from everything I've watched and read, I can't wait to be sitting behind the wheel of one. Cheers from down Under.

[@NashAshby]

[@guillermomonroy7319]

Very thorough review. Thank you!

[@isaiahdeshazier1520]

3:45 you left the gti behind you accelerating on to the autobahn :) nice video Thomas!!

[@autogefuehl]

exactly =)

[@gordonbennett6057]

As someone else has commented, I liked the sequence at time 30:30 on the autobahn on-ramp, where the Golf GTD (or was it a standard Golf 105ps diesel!) perhaps thinks you want a race, tries to get past you, then chases you, crosses the solid white line to get straight to the overtaking lane, hammers past you at a speed exceeding the 100 kph limit, then quickly swings back across the traffic and jams himself in to get to an Ausfahrt...! Good stuff. And you never exceeded the speed limit! Yes, that Q70 3.7 had as you say, "...a really impressive sound". And an impressive consumption! Great review Thomas, many thanks.

[@autogefuehl]

=)

[@StephaneVilasco]

This is my dream car...I told myself that I'll buy one when I started to work in my field...it was in year's 2010. Fast-forward 2021: it's time...

Another great review. I love watching!

[@autogefuehl]

great to have you here steven!

[@kenkobluk5683]

Another great review like always. I am reading articles on a 2021 QX70 maybe coming out. If or when it does I hope to see a review from yourself Thomas. You do a good job.

[@autogefuehl]

thanks Ken! Sadly we do not get Infiniti in Europe anymore

[@petergruber2954]

Thank you a lot for reviewing the 3.7. The engine sound is great. But there is just one slight mistake in the review. The air outtakes are not fake. This is what Infiniti says: "The air vents behind the front wheels give the QX70 an even bolder exterior while reducing front-end lift so you can feel closer to the road.​" Greetings from a still completly happy owner of a QX70 3.0d S.

[@autogefuehl]

Hm I looked at it in detail and they are completely closed

[@petergruber2954]

Now it is dark outside and I just took a small torch and shone into the lowest part of the vents. Through the upper vents I could see the light beam inside the mud guard. You cannot see it from the wheel side. Only if you look into the vents at a certain angle.

[@philhenderson3516]

@@autogefuehl I know this comment is 7 years late but back in 2008 when this 2nd generation FX debuted, Shiro Nakamura (the designer) got asked about the purpose of the air vents and he said they were added to release air & pressure from the engine compartment. They do not connect directly with the wheel well but rather the lower portion of the engine compartment. So my understanding is that they are indeed functional. They seem to be similar in function to those found in the Lexus RCF & GSF that came several years after it.

[@RYOTT22]

looks unique. ...good review

[@rachegreenrg]

Much better car than German junk. My 10 year old Infiniti FX37 has 200k miles on it, no repairs, all original, no leaks, burns no oil .Not a single check engine light in 10 years!

[@ServingYAHAWASHI777]

I also hv a 2013 fx37 in black with a black aftermarket 20inch rims love it;love how stiff the suspension is and the ride is awesome..0-60 or 80 is super quick..I’ve had a 02 infiniti i30 and 02 infiniti q45 but there’s nothing comparing to the fx37 on the driving and handling.The fx37 is a machine🔥🔥🔥

[@marco1173]

A bit of constructive criticism, though. You have a very pleasant voice (despite the German accent ;)) but at times I have a really hard time hearing what you say. It's as though you need a directional mic, so no matter which way you face in relation to the camera your voice will be clear at all times. Otherwise keep up the good work!

[@johnhunt9674]

The interior is so outdated. I still love the exterior design.

[@CT37BN]

Probably the best looking sporty-styled SUV ( against the likes of BMW X6, Mercedes Benz GLC -- 2014 Audi TT Offroad Concept looks like a direct body style copy ). I can forgive Infinity with the Infotainment button-fest scheme since it's been around 2009, so it really is old. Purple(!) stitching with the chairs to match purple highlights with speedo/tach lighting.. but still ok cabin environment. A good yes feature to RCA connectors(!) at 10:13 - maybe plug an external portable amplifier in there. Very good racy sound with the engine. Another thanks for a top well detailed review there Thomas!

[@autogefuehl]

thanks keep supporting us!

[@Dwelijan]

A future classic, thats for sure

[@josegallego4463]

Estoy enamorado de este coche pero para mi no es asequible lo compraría de segunda mano, no con muchos kmtros el tiempo de que tenga no me importa,, ,,,gracias,,

Great video!

[@haas99]

🚗 Thomas you are best auto reviewer in the whole world.

[@autogefuehl]

[@crod6431]

The interior is outdated but still is luxurious. The buttons can be replaced with metal buttons. I replaced mine with black chrome. Android Auto and Apple Car Play can be added with an aftermarket module.

[@bpacheco6]

great review....thank you very much everything was applicable to me and I'm in Canada!

[@autogefuehl]

cheers!

[@ahsamahi4385]

This car a peace of art, excellent in everything

[@bewonderlasne]

thank you Thomas for this superb review. Few years ago I was really really close to buy the fx30d s (the V6 d nissan's engine metal - yes they put graphite in the cylinders metal - and sound tuned by a special German company by Infinity !). But probably i would have loved the design for how long ? A year ? Also the mini boot was an issue. love the interior at that time and the sound ..... mmmmmhh

[@autogefuehl]

thanks bro

[@goran2009]

Love your videos mate, greetings from Adelaide!!!

[@autogefuehl]

Cheers pal!

[@gordonbennett6057]

I much agree with you Thomas that it's not good if an ACC system does not bring the car to a halt (time 36:18)! And the QX70's system (not you!) allowed the car to get too close to the truck anyway... Also, interestingly, at 37:56 you said, "...and now a car is standing there," and you then applied the adaptive cruise... but most ACC systems do not lock onto stationary objects (specifically on purpose, I think) (Stationary 0bjects I think are left to the AEB system?). Excellent, detailed Review Thomas, as always. Many thanks.

[@autogefuehl]

thanks gordon! Afaik the Volvo, Mercedes etc. stuff would have got that car already via ACC

[@gordonbennett6057]

Agree.

[@dontcare32123]

You have to remember this system dates back to 2009 and most ACC systems designed back then will only apply a percentage of the braking power when following a car, which is either suddenly braking to a complete stop, such as in an emergency braking situation or when leaving the autobahn where the speed of the car ahead and thus the gap maintained by the ACC can drop very suddenly. The driver knows he is leaving the autobahn and can make the necessary adjustments in throttle and braking but the ACC does not know this. The bleeping you hear is the Forward Collision Warning alerting you to the closing speed with the vehicle ahead, which requires you to apply the brakes beyond what the car is already applying in order to avoid a collision. I have a 2013 FX and the ACC is a full speed system and it will bring the car to a complete stop if following a car, which is reducing its speed at a normal rate plus it will also then follow the car in front at low speeds, such as crawling traffic on the motorway. It works very well and remember this system is standard on a number of trim levels and wasn't a £1,000.00 option. My CL63 with Distronic Plus works exactly the same and will not identify a stationary car ahead like the latest systems but like the FX, if it's following a car, which brakes at a normal rate for whatever reason, such as slowing traffic, the CL will match the normal braking rate of the car ahead even if it brakes to a complete stop. What it won't do is apply full braking in an emergency situation, such as the car ahead suddenly braking very hard but it will prompt you to apply the brakes and assist just like the FX. Forward Collision Alert works above 10 mph and will bleep to alert you of a potential collision and at the same time start to apply a certain amount of braking to reduce the potential impact speed but the driver is meant to use his judgement and apply braking at this point. Remember these are 2009 technologies, which work really well but it's not fair to compare them to the near autonomous systems of cars launched 8 or 9 years later.

[@bittersweet4331]

Best detailed review for the QX70 ever . I’ve been thinking about getting this SUV for years now , but I always get a cold feet just by looking at the outdated dashboard ugh. Do you think that is a deal breaker ??

[@chillintm]

Nas Mosawa for us it will be. We own a 2010 FX35 and it’s nearly identical. We were looking at newer ones but what’s the point?

[@mikeduncan7552]

It's a SUV Car. Only women bitch about interiors. Focus on what it is good at, Driving in comfort. If you are about gadgets and tablet infotainment then buy a pussy soyboy VW.

[@bittersweet4331]

mike duncan Infinity are so lazy not to update a great car like this , its on them ppl are looking away for more refreshed SUVs . Welcome to the new age of cars , all cars now have cutting edge technologies which became STANDARD for years on lesser brands .

I used to owned the older model 2007 FX35, great car! the body design is the most attractive comperes to all other names and models in the world the interior also amazing elegant look with the clock. (in my opinion) same with the QX70S it's a beauty! too bad Infiniti change the design. the down fall is the 3.7 drinks tons of gas. al in all amazing driving experience !

[@chasewashatko8562]

the interior you saw is only available on the sebastian vettel edition, which was very limited production and over 100,000$, specially tuned and developed in partnership with the F1 driver because he drives this car himself.

[@Alyia112]

Any feedback about steering. I bought new and it feels little hard to turn when trying to park.

[@simonpeter9617]

The lan warnings and adaptive cruise controls only available in the Qx70S model , right

[@IFPanama]

Beautiful INFINITI FX !!! 😍

[@crod6431]

The Alcantara Seats are in the FX50S Sebastian Vettel Special Edition offered only in Europe.

[@Dr.Freeman_]

22:56 Süß! Ein verschmitztes Lächeln!

[@azizhachimi8744]

My FX35 sits at 13.5L/100km average consumption.

[@roggenbrot3615]

Of course, 17l/100km are pretty much, but I think, if you for example drove a passat equipped with the 2.0 TSI (280hp) aggressively in the city/ on the motorway, the car would consume nearly as much - if not even as much - fuel than the QX 70. On top, it would emitt more damaging particles than the QX 70.

[@RK1FX]

In fuel it might be much, but! no repairs !!! I've spent 10k euro a year on my 335i to repair ! it was problematic after warranty ended.

[@kevinring5160]

Thank You for your informational and detailed review. While researching this model, I found it quite disappointing to learn the QX70 has been discontinued. I was really looking forward to a updated interior. For a company that was so forward thinking regarding the FX30 design, it seems a very poor decision to pull the plug on such a great shape.

[@autogefuehl]

Cheers!

[@professormcclaine5738]

Preference is the dark maple wood highlights on the interior.

[@fabregas1366]

Thomas thank you for being so professional and giving us the best. I'm considering this car but in some reviews they say ride is so harsh. my question is, is it bothering for a daily use?

[@autogefuehl]

thanks! The ride is harsh when you have such huge rims mounted. Biggest negativ is that only the Sebastian Vettel version features non-animal seats

[@fabregas1366]

Thank you. I know! But we don't even get the vettel version here in America. I noticed you said it's a comfortable car for a long road trip. So is it a good ride on the autobahn and good roads?

[@gildasgautier8323]

I kinda like it. It looks like an animal on wheels.

[@hipad77]

Hi Thomas enjoy your videos as always I believe the Alcantara seats came on the Sebastian Vettel edition only

[@BhaalTheFleischgolem]

I don't like the car, because I don't see the point in having an SUV....but I really like the combined touchscreen + a lot of shortcut buttons! I hate it when other german car reviews always want as few buttons as possible to have a "tidy deshboard". It takes so much time and distraction to use the infotainment system in a lot of cars these days, because you either get no buttons(only touchsreen) or no touchscreen and only these "joysticks"+"back" and "enter"......and no I don't want to talk to my car ;).

[@mihaighita8553]

Great review. I own a 2012 FX30ds. It's a nice car, enjoying it a lot. I agree interior need more polishing, faster map scrolling, illuminated air vents (it sucks when it's dark outside and I can't tell the vents position), the steering wheel needs an updated look and also some controls needs more premium buttons (AC for instance). Also, it badly needs integrated Apple Carplay and Android Auto options included. But overall, it's a great car and I am really looking forward for your 2018 QX70 review (the new generation) :) Good job again Thomas!

Another detailed and exhaustive video by my favourite reviewer. Unfortunately the vehicle looks like it was designed by a committee with none of the members of the committee communicating. It's ironic that the reg. number more or less summed up the vehicle, K I P. There are many colloquial interpretations of KIP but in this case I think ( ein Loch ) fits best!
