Infiniti Teases QX Sport Inspiration Before 2016 Beijing Auto Show
Infiniti isn’t playing fair.
The automaker isn’t waiting for the 2016 Beijing Auto Show to flash a first look of its new QX Sport Inspiration.
On Wednesday, the company released a teaser shot of its next-generation, mid-size premium SUV, showing off a bold, dynamic design just ahead of the April 25 and 26 press days of the Beijing Auto Show. While we like what we see, the teaser has us wishing we can see more.
“The QX Sport Inspiration expresses a power and purpose that is uniquely Infiniti,” Alfonso Albaisa, Infiniti’s executive design director, said in the automaker’s press release statement, which was accompanied by the teaser shot. “With a flowing, natural aesthetic, this concept demonstrates how Infiniti can offer something new and exciting with future QX SUV models.”
Infiniti says the new SUV was built around the company’s “Powerful Elegance” design philosophy, with the QX Sport Inspiration standing out due to its “striking details and sophisticated craftmanship.” Just as Infiniti points out, stare at this QX Sport Inspiration, and you’ll be reminded of the automaker’s Q60 Concept, which touts similar wide-wheel arches, despite being a smaller vehicle.
That Q60 Concept sports coupe put the automotive industry on notice last year about Infiniti’s cutting-edge design cues, which you can see were borrowed and used with this new QX Sport Inspiration.
