As promised, Infiniti has brought along a refreshed QX Sport Inspiration for the LA Auto Show following on from the concept’s release earlier this year.

While the original concept was painted silver, the new model is finished in a lick of matte grey and now sits on a set of gloss bronze wheels. Although the brand hasn’t said if the model will reach the production line, it is thought that the design will heavily influence future Infiniti SUVs, which can only be a good thing.

One quick look at the SUV highlights its flowing design, free of any unnecessary add-ons or ‘look-at-me’ fascias. It is simple and sophisticated in the most beautiful way and represents a nice change from the overt concepts we’re become used to seeing.

At the model’s Beijing Auto Show launch, Infiniti design boss Alfonso Albaisa said “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.”
