The upgraded Infiniti Q70 premium sedan is set to make its European debut at the Paris Motor Show next month.

Upgraded edition of the Infiniti Q70 premium sedan

Exterior updates to the Q70 have been made to bring it in line with the all-new Q50, including changes to the grille, the front and rear bumpers and the addition of standard-fit LED headlights.

The model also comes with a retuned suspension which Infiniti says “minimises initial impacts over road imperfections”, new 18-inch wheels and an upgraded interior with additional storage space and more 12V outlets.

The upgraded Infiniti Q70 additionally now comes with the option of Around View Monitor (AVM) cameras – giving the driver a 360-degree view around the car for improved visibility when parking and pulling out at junctions.

Under the bonnet you find a new economical 2.2-litre turbodiesel four-cylinder engine with 125 kW and 400 Nm of torque. Another on-board enhancement is improved HVAC logic for the climate control that syncs up with the Start/Stop function on the 2.2 turbo-diesel engine, allowing cabin comfort to be maintained as necessary whenever the engine is stopped.

First deliveries of the 2015 Infiniti Q70 are said to start in Europe in December. South African availability is yet to be confirmed.
