Infiniti QX Monograph concept

First up is Infiniti’s new QX80 SUV that’s set to arrive next year. The QX Monograph concept, which was unveiled at the 2023 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance this past August, points the way to the new design language. Infiniti promises the production version will remain true to the concept on the outside and bring opulence and technology to the next-gen three-row cabin.

It will be followed up by a mid-sized crossover the company teased. It is the all-new QX65 coupe. Infiniti says the new QX65 will be a stylish two-row crossover that will stand out from a cluttered mid-size segment. Nice words, but no substance.

Infiniti Qe concept

The electrified part of the portfolio, which is the sub-headed the New Dawn, is found in the Vision Qe. Infiniti says this is how the brand envisions the future of the all-electric fastback sedan. Finished in a bespoke Shadow Blue paint that marries a deep-blue base coat with gold highlights — this blue and gold colours mirror Infiniti’s refreshed visual identity, which is anchored around these two colors — the manner in which the light plays off the paint is eye-catching to say the least.

Up front, the shark-like nose is distinct with a 3D Infiniti badge taking the place of prominence. The nose also hosts “piano key” headlights. One cool touch is the illuminated Infiniti badge on the front fender. Follow the arching roofline rearward and it finishes in another arching ring of light that sits above yet another Infiniti badge and more piano-key taillights. The coolest part of the concept is found in the 23-inch wheel design — the spokes look like that have been woven and resemble the winding in an electric motor. It’s different.

Infiniti did not say anything about a potential propulsion system for what was a clay concept, but a hod-rodded version of Nissan’s e-4ORCE all-wheel-drive system with the power to match the Vision Qe’s speedy looks would work nicely!
