MANILA: After eight model year updates, Infinity, Nissan’s luxury vehicle division, is completely revamping the QX60 midsize luxury compact SUV for the first time since the first-generation unit was launched in 2012.
Wrapped in a reflective platinum color, the Infinity QX60 Monogram concept is, according to the automaker, much more than just a design study, providing a concrete understanding of the future of the model by showing the proportions and design elements that are involved. will be used in the vehicle.
“We began the Monograph design knowing that it was an opportune time to start a discussion about where we plan to take the QX60 in the future and, more broadly, where we are heading as a brand with our design language,” said Alfonso. Albaisa, Senior Vice President, Global Design, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.
This preview shows a body with a wide stance, horizontal hood and shoulder line, muscular wheel arches and fenders, and a long wheelbase. To ensure an elegant profile, the incline of the A-pillar is not steep while the greenhouse descends conically. Along the side is a high shoulder line that goes straight back to see the wide body and track.
The inner mesh of the grille is inspired by Japanese origami to emit three-dimensional depth from a two-dimensional surface. The same mesh pattern is used on the side air intakes in the lower corners of the bumper.
“In crafting this monograph, we wanted to change the tonality of the QX60 and transform the nameplate from a sculptural and architectural point of view. We raised the visual center of gravity, giving it a strong straight shoulder line that reaches up to the hood, with a taller, more prominent grille and a longer-looking cockpit to provide a muscular feel and commanding presence, “added Albaisa.
The concept body color is a conscious effort by Infiniti to display the qualities of liquid metal by allowing the body surface to capture the shadows and highlights of the environment in which it is displayed. At the top is a kimono-patterned roof that comes in a pure black hue for a sharp contrast to the rich body color. The pillars, roof, front, side and rear windows all connect seamlessly to give it a “floating” effect.
“The platinum paint on the QX60 monograph projects a feeling of warmth,” said Taisuke Nakamura, senior design director, INFINITI Global Design.
Thin ‘digital piano key’ lights are used on the front and back. The internal structure of the headlamp features a line shape and pattern inspired by an electric heat sink device.
The full production version of the second-generation QX60 is expected in 2021.
