Infiniti Q70 Performance Overview
Infiniti’s Q70 performance profile on this page is defined by its short 2015 to 2017 production-window coverage and a single Y51 generation, represented here by 4 verified tests spanning 2015 to 2016. Across those tests, the sedan’s character centered on naturally aspirated gasoline V6 and V8 power, with output ranging from 330 to 420 hp from the VQ37VHR and VK56VD. At the entry point, the 2015 L 3.7 recorded 0-60 in 5.6 seconds, establishing the lower end of the tested range, while the broader average settled at 5.2 seconds to 60 mph and 13.8 seconds in the quarter-mile.
The key step came in 2015 with the V8-powered L 5.6, which set the model’s quickest numbers in this dataset: 4.8 seconds to 60 mph and a 13.4-second quarter-mile at 107 mph. Another Y51 V8, the 2015 S 5.6, also ran 0-60 in 4.8 seconds, showing that the upper end of Q70 performance was consistent across trims rather than isolated to one configuration.
As it stands today in this sample, the Y51-era Q70 remains a gasoline-only, naturally aspirated executive sedan with tested 0-60 times from 4.8 to 5.6 seconds, led by the 5.6-liter V8 variants.
