 I have a good friend who has a 2014 version under the old nomenclature, and while I originally thought the car was a little odd looking (i still do), i really enjoyed riding in it.  I finally decided to get a new car in 2017 and after looking at all the midsize SUV's available, i drifted over to the Qx70 because i wanted something fun to drive and the car had gone out of production so i felt i could get a good deal on one.  I actually got a spectacular deal on a CPO with 4400 miles on it ($36K for a car with a $52K sticker) and 42 months of mfer warranty left.  It was a corporate owned vehicle used by a Nissan exec.  My gain points out a negative- this vehicle really depreciates in its first year- so if you buy one you need to keep it.   I purposely stayed away from the sport and limited because the 18 inch wheel has a lot more air and rubber on the wheels vs the 20/21 inch wheels - it makes a difference in softening the ride. I think the big wheels look great but i wanted a more standard issue tire.   The technology is old but proven- no trips to the dealership for bugs in the driver assist functions or transmission. Nav has both touchscreen and button panel- its a little far away for touchscreen when driving but buttons are intuitive.  The car drives wonderfully.  The responsiveness is off the charts and the rear-wheel drive acceleration is smooth and powerful.  I just love driving it and it is more comfortable than i expected.  The biggest negative is the fuel economy- 17/21 with premium fuel adds up.  But i knew that going in and the deal i got will pay for a lot of fuel!   GREAT CAR!!!
