Competitive Perception

Thanks to its exhilarating, 325-horsepower 3.7L V6 engine, the Infiniti QX70 delivers performance without sacrifice.

Lincoln Reality

Lincoln MKX offers a choice of engines to more completely suit a client's needs and performance preferences. Both deliver more torque than the QX70 V6 (267) and the twin-turbocharged 2.7L GTDI V6 also delivers 10 more horsepower.(2)

 

Competitive Perception

Under the RX 350's hood is an upgraded and more powerful 3.5L V6.

  • Horsepower: 295 @ 6,300
  • Lb.-ft. of torque: 268 @ 4,700

Lincoln Reality

The $3,350 price for the QX70 Technology Package is just the beginning of the costs associated with these safety features. Infiniti owners who opt for the Technology Package must also choose the Premium Package ($4,300), and the Sport Package ($3,550). This means QX70 customers must really spend $11,200 for these features. By comparison, the Lincoln Driver Assistance Package is available for $2,250 on Lincoln MKX Reserve models.

Competitive Perception

The Infiniti QX70 offers spacious room for five passengers.

 

Lincoln Reality

While the Infiniti QX70 does an apt job at accommodating front passengers, it falls well short in addressing the needs of rear passengers. Lincoln MKX delivers five inches of additional rear leg room. It also offers 12.4 cu. ft. more cargo-carrying capacity behind the rear row.
