Infiniti QX30 Concept revealed; World premiere at 2015 Geneva Motor Show

Infiniti has revealed the first glimpse of the QX30 Concept, which will have its world premiere at the 2015 Geneva International Motor Show. The crossover concept will lead to a future premium compact vehicle and indicates the brand’s strong commitment to this segment. The Infiniti QX30 Concept combines the sleek lines of a coupe with the distinguishing features and higher stance of a crossover. The concept gets a “stylish protection” theme for its exterior, supported by aluminium-trimmed bumper while its lightweight performance character is enhanced by carbon fibre in the lower cladding.

“We wanted the spontaneous fluidity of the QX30 Concept design to cut through the urban clutter and rigidity, reflecting its go-anywhere and spur-of-the-moment nature. The QX30 Concept has been designed to make occupants feel safe and protected inside, and customers can drive in or out of the city without worrying about nicks to the chromework.” said Alfonso Albaisa, Infiniti Executive Design Director.

“The QX30 Concept design conveys a sophisticatedly gritty sense of strength and durability, but tough doesn’t mean rough. We’ve retained a sense of artistry throughout, even in the most functional of parts,” further added Mr. Albaisa.

The 21-inch wheels and larger profile tyres make for a muscular stance while the spokes are a unique mix of three-dimensional milled aluminium finished in different tones. The roof racks extend inward toward the centre line, alongside the glass roof, providing a “sculpture” for the rear passengers to look through.
