Infiniti has revealed how its new mid-sized SUV could look with the global debut of its QX Sport Inspiration concept car at the Beijing Auto Show.

Based on the brand’s ‘Powerful Elegance’ design philosophy, the concept features signature Infiniti design cues but is also said to show the design, layout, and engineering of future Infiniti QX models.

Alfonso Albaisa, Infiniti executive design director, said: “The QX Sport Inspiration expresses power and purpose through what we describe as its ‘proportional clarity’, with an elegance that is uniquely Infiniti. The exterior design will appeal to an artistic sensibility. It has a more flowing, natural aesthetic than that evident in traditional premium SUVs.”

The interior is based on Infiniti’s ‘driver-centric, passenger-minded’ approach and brings details including a centrally mounted infotainment display.

Infiniti president, Roland Krueger said: “The QX Sport Inspiration is a statement of intent from Infiniti, showcasing a daring design philosophy and a demonstration of our capabilities in the mid-size SUV segment.”
