The QX50 Concept shows how the design of its its conceptual forebear, the 2016 QX Sport Inspiration, could be adapted for a future production model.
The latest concept highlights Infiniti's "Powerful Elegance" design language. A cabin-forward silhouette combines with muscular lines and flowing surfaces to telegraph its purpose as a dynamic and practical crossover.
The organic forms of the driver-centric, passenger-minded cabin were designed to blend in with the exterior shape.
The latest Infiniti concept is the next step towards the company's future autonomous drive support technologies that would ensure the driver retains control over their vehicle in tune with Infiniti's focus on driver engagement.
"Infiniti is pleased to debut an SUV concept in the world's fastest growing segment, here in the world's largest market," said its president, Roland Krueger. "The QX50 production vehicles will feature advanced autonomous drive capability and will be the first vehicle in the world to be powered by an engine that can adjust variable compression ratio on the fly, using our groundbreaking VC-Turbo engine."
