2014 INFINITI QX70: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for 2014 is the name: INFINITI renamed the FX as the QX70 and fitted new badging. It was not redesigned, and its core powertrains and equipment remained largely the same.
About the 2014 INFINITI QX70
2nd generation FX/QX70 (2009-2017), first U.S. model year using the QX70 name; not a full redesign.
Infiniti marketed the QX70 as a performance crossover for shoppers who wanted SUV ride height and utility without giving up sharp styling or sporty road feel. Its long-hood, coupe-like shape, strong V6 or V8 engines, and driver-focused cabin set it apart from roomier, softer rivals. The tradeoff was clear even in period reviews: less rear-seat and cargo space, but a more athletic, sedan-like driving experience.
The 3.7 was the core model, pairing a 325-hp V6 with leather upholstery, heated front seats, Bose audio, a moonroof, and a power liftgate. The 5.0 AWD was the performance-focused version, with a 390-hp V8, standard all-wheel drive, navigation, an around-view camera, cooled front seats, and larger brakes.
