Under the skin it’s a true Jeep: a stout, off-road capable machine. That doesn’t mean it’s a chore to drive on-road; the big Jeep’s an easygoing, high-utility companion that can be had as an unpretentious workhorse, a leather-lined luxo-ute, or something in between.he Grand Cherokee offers a class-leading infotainment system, and the higher trim levels can be equipped with a host of active safety technologies including automated emergency braking.
Pros All-terrain confidence, multiplicity of models, fantastic infotainment interface.
Cons Thirsty gasoline engines, mediocre warranty coverage, not as spacious as rivals.
The 2017 Infiniti QX70 ranks 17 out of 22 Luxury Midsize SUVs. The 2017 Infiniti QX70 is all about driving dynamics, offering powerful engine performance and sharp handling. However, you won't get the rear-seat or cargo space that many other SUVs offer. Though tech features are user-friendly, the interior design looks dated compared to rivals.
Pros Powerful engine Engaging handling User-friendly infotainment system
Cons Below-average cargo capacity Cramped rear seats Some outdated tech features and design touches
A new Limited package replaces last year's Deluxe Touring option and adds some cosmetic upgrades, but otherwise the QX70 returns unchanged. The 2017 Infiniti QX70 is a performance SUV that gives you more sport than utility. It also has unique styling and a luxurious interior. But after several years on the market, it's beginning to show its age against newer competitors.
Pros Sharp handling that makes it feel more like a sport sedan than a tall SUV Plenty of passing power from the standard V6 engine Well-trimmed interior has high-quality materials throughout.
Cons Less forgiving over rough surfaces than most luxury SUVs Rear passenger and cargo space are small for the class Technology interface is noticeably dated compared to newer competitors Only one engine option offered.
It's starting to look and feel dated, but the QX70 provides a healthy dose of thrills and, surprisingly, value. Formerly called the FX, the 2017 Infiniti QX70 makes some deliberate sacrifices for style and performance to be one of the most driver-focused crossovers available. It's certainly dated up against fresher rivals, but the QX70 focuses instead on delivering excellent driving dynamics in a way matched by few other vehicles of its ilk.
Pros Terrific chassis Flexible engine and transmission Styled like nothing else
Cons Cramped interior Poor fuel economy Expensive safety options
