NAIAS 2019 - Infiniti QX Inspiration
Infiniti used this years North American International Auto Show as an opportunity to celebrate their 30th NAIAS, having unveiled the original Q45, thus birthing the brand in the US in 1989. In addition to celebrating their past, they also gave us a glimpse of the future in the QX Inspiration Concept. They say this is an indication of what their first fully-electric model will be. So, a dual-motor all-wheel drive all-electric crossover should arrive from Infiniti in the next few years. Here is the official text:
“QX Inspiration concept previews an electric INFINITI for the future, combining an electrified all-wheel drive powertrain with SUV body and introducing a new INFINITI form language for the era of electrification.
INFINITI plans to launch a range of high-performance electrified vehicles which offer range confidence with a design that underlines potency and character of electrified powertrains based on the principles of modern Japanese design and architecture.
New electric vehicle platforms enable the creation of spacious, relaxing, lounge-like interiors combined with new in-car technology that follows the Japanese omotenashi approach to hospitality, creating a welcome environment while assisting drivers and connecting occupants.”
