This is our first look at a concept that previews Infiniti’s new mid-size premium crossover.
Named the QX Sport Inspiration, it’s demonstrating the brand’s “Powerful Elegance” design language, though this first rendering is obscure and doesn’t really show much.
What we can see are the oversized hallmark grille, slim headlights, vertical side air intakes in the front bumper and the heavily sculpted bonnet.
“The QX Sport Inspiration expresses a power and purpose that is uniquely Infiniti”, said Infiniti Executive Design Director Alfonso Albaisa. “With a flowing, natural aesthetic, this concept demonstrates how Infiniti can offer something new and exciting with future QX SUV models.”
Our best guess is that the production car will come sometime next year and will serve as a replacement to the ageing QX70that might have been revampedrecently but actually dates back to 2002.
According to Infiniti, it features floating A-pillars, extra-wide wheel arches and toned shoulders similar to that of the Q60 concept. Its debut is scheduled for the Beijing Auto Show on April 26, though more teasers will probably come our way before that.
