The Appeal

If the usual, common German high-performance SUVs all feel a little too, well, familiar, step forward Infiniti’s well-regarded QX70. Offering a stylish alternative to the boxy Germans, plus decent comfort and chassis dynamics, these big luxury SUVs are a canny buy.

This 2016 example is fitted with the reliable V9X 3L V6 turbodiesel engine, which is good for 240bhp. Finished in black with a Kacchu-lined cream diamond stitch interior, it is a very high specification example that was factory fitted with a long list of options.

Despite the relatively high mileage, it is in fine overall condition. There are a few points to note in the photos, which could be lived with or easily rectified. In recent years, we’re told that it has been maintained by AutoKolben Garage, including a recent oil and filter change. The current keeper has used it for regular cross-European trips, which we’re told it excels at. Although fitted with a tow bar, the vendor states it has never seen heavy or towing use.

The vendor says:

“This Infiniti is the Japanese luxury SUV you've always dreamed of. With its powerful V6 engine, adjustable suspension, and all-wheel drive, it can race across the Dolomites at full speed while kicking up a snowstorm, and it's muscular enough to tow a giant boat on its way to the harbour. This imposing Japanese car has been AutoKolben's flagship vehicle until now, playing the same game as the URUS and Levante. Do you want to continue the lineage?”
