Here’s a new official photo of Infiniti’s QX30 Concept, which previews a future compact premium crossover based on the upcoming Q30 hatchback.
Infiniti says the study is 30mm (1.2in) taller than the Q30 Concept and that it combines the lines of a coupe with the features and higher stance of a crossover. “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,” said Alfonso Albaisa, Infiniti Executive Design Director.
“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,” he added.
Although the photo doesn’t show it, the QX30 features a more pronounced aluminum-trimmed bumper up front, as well as a skid plate sculpted with nuanced graphics at the rear. Interestingly, the study uses carbon fiber in the lower cladding and roof bar supports.
The roof racks have more than just a functional role, extending inward toward the center line, alongside the glass roof, to provide a “sculpture” for the rear passengers to look through. The crossover rides on 21-inch wheels and larger profile tyres, with the spokes mixing three-dimensional milled aluminum finished in different tones.
