Infiniti Gives Q70 Sedan the Premium Treatment

Nissan Motor Co.'s Infiniti unit took the wraps off its Q70 Premium Select Edition midsize sedan at this week's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in California.

Exterior styling upgrades include a new deck lid spoiler, a black insert in the rear bumper and an assortment of dark chrome trim. The Q70 Premium Select also gets specially designed 20-inch alloy wheels and all-season performance tires.

Interior highlights include a choice of Graphite or Stone semi-aniline leather seats, a suede-like headliner and bright aluminum trim throughout. The premium look also benefits from illuminated kickplates and new floor mats with contrast piping.

Buyers can choose from two engines: a 3.7-liter V-6 that makes 330 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque or a 5.6-liter V-8 rated at 420 hp and 417 lb-ft. Both are mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is optional.

The 2016 limited-edition model will hit showrooms in November. Pricing hasn't been announced.
