The concept combines the dynamic design and sportiness of a coupe, the roominess of a hatch and the higher stance of a crossover, with Infiniti adding that it’s ‘designed for younger customers seeking an alternative to traditional premium compact vehicles and open to convention-challenging approaches’.

In addition, the concept marks a move to bolder, more masculine styling under the helm of executive design director Alfonso Albaisam, with Infiniti adding that it ‘signals the next step in an aggressive strategy to extend the Infiniti brand into new premium segments’.

According to reports, the model will be underpinned by the Mercedes MFA platform used for the A-Class and B-Class, with powertrains also being sourced from Mercedes.

The concept makes its world premiere at the Frankfurt Motor Show on 10th September.
