2016 INFINITI QX Sport Inspiration Concept Bows in Beijing

Well well well!

Look what we have here: the all-new Infiniti QX Sport concept -- with many all-new and sexy lines in an ultra-modern crossover size.

We expected the teasers for this concept to be a clear look at the upcoming QX70 replacement (FX)... but we're much less sure now that 30 photos from all sides are available.

What is certain? Infiniti's future SUVs will all look hot. Dripping glamour in every wavy rise and crest.

But this machine in particular? We have a sortof Murano-for-China feeling about the machine's proportions. Though impressive and on-trend, the rear-drive cross/coupe style of the QX70 is missing here.

The debut near Infiniti HQ in Beijing is a strong clue too. I say an Infiniti Murano sounds like a great idea! Murano already drives mighty premium for its $40k loaded tally in the USA.

World debut at Beijing Auto Show on April 25

Hong Kong/Beijing – Infiniti has revealed its daring new QX Sport Inspiration concept car at a design-themed media preview, three days before the car makes its public world premiere at the 2016 Beijing Auto Show.

The QX Sport Inspiration was unveiled at Infiniti's Design studio in Beijing, one of the company's four global design studios.

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."

Alfonso Albaisa, Infiniti Executive Design Director, added: "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 Infiniti QX Sport Inspiration concept – which explores the brand's vision for the design, layout, and engineering of future Infiniti QX models – will make its public debut on April 25 at the first press day of the 2016 Beijing Auto Show.

The Infiniti Design Night, the second design-focused event from the brand ahead of a major Chinese motor show, took place at the Infiniti Design Studio, following a similar highly successful event in Shanghai in April 2015.

With the daring new QX Sport Inspiration, Powerful Elegance has taken another step forward.

: Since 1989, Infiniti has developed into a global manufacturer of premium motor cars. With design and production facilities on three continents, an expanding product portfolio and a fast-growing, customer-centric international dealer network, Infiniti is strategically placed for further growth in 2016.
