2019 Q70 Interior
Great effort has been made to use high-quality materials throughout the leather-wrapped cabin, and various up-market trim pieces provide luxurious-looking accents. Despite this, not all touch-points, dials, and knobs are the best quality and can seem more plastic than premium, which is disappointing. On the plus side, the layout of the dashboard is superb and feels more like a sports vehicle from the driver's perspective, with a console and dash that is ergonomically centered around you as a driver. Ample space is available for the driver and passengers alike (four six-footers would fit easily) but a fifth occupant would prove to be hunched over in the rear middle position. Legroom is sufficient, and all the seats are soft but supportive, with elevated seat bottoms in the back to enhance comfort and to make getting in and out easy. The major disappointment in this range is the outdated technology on the infotainment interface, which is rather clumsy and difficult to navigate.

Seating and Interior Space
Although marketed as a five-seater, in reality squeezing a fifth passenger into the cabin would make for a tight fit seated in the rear: three children in the back seat or a combination of two adults and a child would be a more comfortable fit. LATCH child seat anchors are available on both rear outboard seats but are hard to reach and make use of. Climate controlled front seats are standard in even the base model, and across the range leather-appointed seating is the entry point for all trims. For the driver and front passenger, ample head and leg room is available and would cater to those above six feet in height. Whilst legroom in the rear is sufficient, headroom is average for this class, and would make it difficult for anyone over six-foot tall to sit comfortably. Interior dimensions for this vehicle are in line with most rivals and include 44.4 inches of legroom in the front and 36.2 inches in the rear.

Interior Colors and Materials
Leather is the material of choice throughout this cabin and is available in three options: Wheat, Graphite, and Stone, with the last option being exclusive to vehicles kitted with the Premium Select package. Leather can be upgraded to softer semi-aniline leather through the equipment of the Sensory package for a more luxurious feel. Japanese Ash Wood trim is the standard interior accent, although Aluminum or White Ash Silver-powdered trim can be selected when adding the Sensory or Premium bundles.
2019 Q70 Trunk and Cargo Space
Trunk space in the Q70 is underwhelming, offering only 14.9 cubic feet without any means to increase the volume through fold-down seats. Most rivals offer split rear benches, so it's confusing as to why Infiniti don't. The trunk lid offers a wide opening which is easy to load but narrows towards the back end, holding two medium-sized suitcases at a push. The trunk offers no power closing either, although the power release mechanism is a thoughtful feature.
Interior storage spaces are disappointing, to say the least, with only two available cupholders and a center console with a spacious and convenient bin beneath an armrest. There is a small ashtray in this console, but no other available spaces for keys, coins or smartphones are present. This detracts significantly from the convenience of a luxury sedan and is well below the interior storage standards set by the Audi A6.

2019 Q70 Infotainment and Features
Features
A limited list of standard interior features is available on both models as standard, and include climate-controlled front seats, a heated leather steering wheel and a steering column that is widely adjustable. The driver's seat also power adjusts, and a memory system is equipped to keep track of preferred driver positioning. Keyless entry and entry/exit assist make for a convenient start to your trip, and an auto trunk cincher is also equipped. Around view monitor and front and rear sonar are standard features available on both trims, but more driver aids need to be added through equipping of bundles to install features such as lane departure prevention, blind spot warning, and rear cross traffic alert.
Infotainment
An eight-inch color touchscreen is installed on which infotainment features are displayed, but disappointingly in low-resolution. Navigation is included as standard on even the base model and offers voice recognition for both audio and navigation systems, although this technology seems to be more of a hassle to get working than it is to simply click a button. SiriusXM satellite radio, Bluetooth connectivity and USB plug-ins are catered for and play through a high-quality ten-speaker Bose sound system. No Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capabilities exist on this range, which remains a rather glaring oversight in this day and age when almost all rivals cater to full smartphone integration. The infotainment system is not particularly user-friendly and presents itself as quite dated with rivals offering much more cutting-edge technology together with smartphone-compatible audio systems.
