Infiniti Q70l
NHTSA safety across every Infiniti Q70l model year we cover.
Across the 1 model year of the Infiniti Q70l we cover (2019 to 2019), the strongest crash-test showing is the 2019 at 80 on the NHTSA Safety Index. 2 recalls have been issued across those years.
The 2019 Infiniti Q70L is a long-wheelbase variant of Infiniti's full-size luxury sedan, slotting into a competitive segment alongside German and domestic rivals. Aimed at buyers who want rear-seat comfort paired with premium Japanese craftsmanship, it carries the Q70 nameplate into its final model year, making it a niche but genuinely appealing choice for value-minded luxury shoppers.
At MotorCaliber, we focus squarely on safety, and the 2019 Infiniti Q70L presents a mixed but largely acceptable picture. The vehicle earns an NHTSA Safety Index of 80 out of 100, placing it in our Strong band, which is a meaningful baseline for a full-size luxury sedan in its final production year. Frontal crash protection comes in at a solid 4 out of 5 stars, and rollover resistance matches that mark at 4 out of 5. Side crash testing, however, produced no rating, which is a genuine gap in the safety data picture and something shoppers should weigh carefully. Without a side-impact score, the full crash-test story remains incomplete. On the recall front, only 2 recalls are on record across the covered model year, which is a modest count. Owner complaints are equally quiet at just 2 total, with zero reported crashes, fires, injuries, or deaths tied to those complaints. It is worth noting these complaints are unverified allegations, but the low volume does suggest no widespread safety crisis. The bottom line: the Q70L earns a respectable safety standing, but the missing side-crash rating prevents us from calling it a clean sweep. Shoppers should confirm any open recalls before purchase.
WHAT REVIEWERS SAYReviewers generally regard the Q70L as a comfortable, well-appointed luxury sedan that delivers a refined ride and generous rear-seat space. Most praise its composed highway manners and upscale interior, though many note the platform is aging and that newer rivals offer more advanced technology and driver-assistance features as standard equipment.
- The 2019 Q70L earned a 4 out of 5 stars in frontal crash testing and 4 out of 5 in rollover resistance, but NHTSA produced no side-crash rating, leaving a notable gap in the overall safety data.
- The vehicle's NHTSA Safety Index of 80 out of 100 places it in the Strong band, which is a solid result for a final-year model year sedan.
- Only 2 recalls are recorded for the 2019 model year, a low count that suggests no systemic safety defects, but shoppers should verify with NHTSA that no open recalls remain on any specific vehicle before purchase.
- Owner complaints total just 2 across the covered year, with zero reported crashes, fires, injuries, or deaths. While the complaint volume is reassuringly low, these are unverified allegations and should be interpreted with appropriate caution.
