If you’ve been eagerly anticipating the day that you can drive the newest INFINITI model, you’ll be happy to know that your wait is nearly over. Discover the design, performance, and technology that await behind the wheel and under the hood of the INFINITI QX Sport Inspiration concept.
INFINITI QX Sport Inspiration World Premiere
The much-anticipated INFINITI QX Sport Inspiration concept made its debut at the 2016 Beijing Auto Show, held from April 25th through May 4th. With nearly 2.5 million square feet of display space, 1,600 exhibitors, and 14 participating nations, Auto China was truly a world-class event. The show included over 8,000 visitors, 1,179 vehicles, and 112 premieres, making it a hub of action for industry experts and car enthusiasts alike. One of 46 concept vehicles on display at the show, the INFINITI QX Sport Inspiration impressed and inspired ample curiosity.
Premium Mid-Sized SUV Concept
For all automakers, the premium mid-sized SUV category includes an ideal mix of abundant space, superior comfort, family-focused technology, and impressive performance. INFINITI already brings plenty to the table with its QX50, QX60, and QX70 models. The QX50 has a size that’s ideal for cosmopolitan lifestyles, the QX60 offers comfortable seating for the whole family, and the QX70 boasts fast acceleration and nimble handling.
Drawing on the best elements of each, the QX Sport Inspiration elevates the mid-sized luxury SUV category with a welcome redesign. An intriguing exploration of INFINITI’s next-generation mid-sized SUV, this concept significantly enhances the automaker’s presence in this space.
Powerful Elegance Design Philosophy
At the heart of the INFINITI QX Sport Inspiration is its Powerful Elegance design philosophy. A signature concept from INFINITI, Powerful Elegance encompasses the automaker’s next-generation form language.
Among several standout design details, the QX Sport Inspiration emphasizes sophisticated craftsmanship, A-pillars that appear to float in place, a wide and muscular stance that borders on aggressive, and wide wheel arches. As INFINITI’s Executive Design Director, Alfonso Albaisa, explains, “With a flowing, natural aesthetic, this concept demonstrates how INFINITI can offer something new and exciting with future QX SUV models.” This statement is music to the ears of any INFINITI enthusiast who appreciates the automaker’s design sensibility yet embraces continued forward thinking.
As Albaisa elaborates, much of the concept’s appeal focuses on the automaker’s “proportional clarity.” On the front, the focus is on the vehicle’s double-arch grille and the eye-inspired headlamps. In the rear, the concept flaunts blade-shaped tail lights and lines that cleanly merge with the vehicle’s overall design. In between, the QX Sport Inspiration features sculptural lines, a muscular form, and a crescent-cut pillar. Altogether, this concept’s design language focuses on dynamism, agility, and elegance.
Impressive Performance Potential
Though the QX Sport Inspiration is still in the concept phase, numerous industry experts have begun to speculate what might be under the hood of this next-generation luxury SUV. When it makes its debut in INFINITI dealerships around the nation, it’s likely to have the potential for impressive performance.
Based on the inner workings of the automaker’s Q50 and Q60 models, some experts speculate that the QX Sport Inspiration will feature a version of INFINITI’s powerful 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine. The new SUV could boast either a 300-horsepower or a 400-horsepower version of this engine, or drivers might have the ability to choose between two excellent options.
Superior Interior Comfort
Inside, the QX Sport Inspiration promises nothing less than superior comfort. The concept vehicle includes floating seats for both the driver and the passengers. The color palette focuses on black and white, and the vehicle’s panoramic glass roof welcomes ample light and the appearance of additional space. Built-in gradations offer shade and comfort on sunny days. The concept interior includes luxe matte leather, Ultrasuede, and an armor-like material, but these may not survive until the production phase.
High End Digital Technology
The majority of the QX Sport Inspiration’s high-tech capabilities are centered on the vehicle’s futuristic dashboard. Instead of forcing the driver to take eyes off the road, a central controller gives the driver easy access to the dashboard touchscreen’s suite of high-tech features. On the steering wheel, you’ll find even more controls that operate the vehicle’s digitized instrument display and control other convenient features. Like the concept vehicle’s other features, the QX Sport Inspiration’s interior and technology captures INFINITI’s “driver-centric, passenger-minded” emphasis.
