A specially equipped version of the Infiniti QX70 crossover has debuted at the 2016 New York Auto Show.

Joining the Infiniti QX80 Limited as the second Limited model in the Infiniti lineup, the 2017 Infiniti QX70 Limited adds a range of premium exterior and interior features to the performance crossover. The model will be available in rear- or all-wheel drive configurations and will go on sale at Infiniti dealerships nationwide starting this summer.

Exterior enhancements start with a unique front bumper, sporting LED daytime running lights that replace the standard QX70’s fog lights. There is also a new grille design that will be used on all 2017 QX70 models. Other minor changes include body-color side air vents, dark-finish outside mirror housings, dark finish rear combination lamps and a stainless steel rear bumper protector. Finishing off the aesthetics are a rear-hatch “Limited” badge and unique 21×9.5-inch wheels paired to 265/45/21 all-season tires.

As expected, there’s a good amount of interior upgrades as well to add even more luxurious amenities to the crossover. The cabin features a special high-contrast Graphite and Stone-colored treatment along with a dark-color headliner, special open pore wood trim with aluminum flake trim on the console, deep pillow quilting on the center console and aluminum-trimmed pedals.

On the seats themselves, there are high-contrast leather appointments with Graphite outside sections and Stone inserts. They also include deep pillow quilting and Stone color stitching and piping. Also, the steering wheel and shifter boot also have Stone color stitching. Standard on the model is climate-controlled (heating and cooling) front seats.

Powering the 2017 Infiniti QX70 Limited is a 3.7-liter V6 engine with 325 horsepower paired to a seven-speed automatic transmission with Adaptive Shift Control (ASC).
