Updated Infiniti Q70 coming to Europe

Following its launch in North America, Infiniti has confirmed that the revised Q70 saloon will arrive in European dealers this December.

One of the most obvious changes is a subtle facelift which brings the executive four-door’s looks more in line with those of the smaller Q50. Essentially, it comprises restyled bumpers, a more cinched grille and the adoption of LEDs for both the front and rear lights.

Attention has also been paid to the car’s refinement. Recalibrated dampers are intended to improve ride comfort, while better noise insulation should make the cabin quieter.

In a significant move, the engine line-up is being augmented by a four-cylinder, 2.2 litre turbodiesel option. Developing 164 bhp (122 kW / 167 PS) with 400 Nm (295 lb/ft) of torque, it could play a key role in making the rare Q70 a slightly more common sight on UK roads. Full performance and economy specs have yet to be released, though.

Infiniti is planning to unveil the 2015 European-spec Q70 at next month’s Paris Motor Show.
