Previewing the next generation of INFINITI‘s luxury, family-focused 3-row SUV. The “Infiniti QX60 Monograph” unveiled in Yokohama, Japan, marries sophisticated design with athletic proportions. It’s the 1st look at the design direction for INFINITI’s next-generation production model and the 1st look at the global automaker’s new headquarters.
The Infiniti QX60 Monograph was presented around the world digitally via an immersive. A multi-medium presentation that incorporated the SUV and INFINITI’s new Global headquarters. The virtual reveal was accompanied by an augmented reality experience that allowed participants to “place” a QX60 Monograph in their driveways.
The Infiniti QX60 Monograph precedes a production-bound vehicle slated for reveal in 2021.
Reimagining the future QX60 SUV
Focused solely on the exterior, INFINITI designers imagined the QX60 Monograph is a sophisticated yet functional solution for a busy, modern family. The proportions include a wide stance, sleek greenhouse, horizontal shoulder line, and muscular wheel arches. The combination of which creates a commanding posture and defined SUV persona.
“In crafting this Monograph, we wanted to change the tonality of the Infiniti QX60. And transform the nameplate from a sculptural and architectural point of view. Infiniti Motors raised the visual center of gravity, giving it a strong, straight shoulder line that carries through to the hood, with a higher. More prominent grille, and longer-looking cabin to deliver a sense of muscularity and a commanding presence”.
Certainly, the current QX60 is popular with families and is known for offering spacious packaging and comfortable, dedicated three-row seating. The proportions of the QX60 Monograph illustrate INFINITI’s intention to maintain these strengths while transforming the model with a more aerodynamic, muscular silhouette.
Reflecting Movement
The platinum paint on the Infiniti QX60 Monograph projects a sense of warmth. The highly reflective nature mimics the qualities of liquid metal. Allowing the surface of the body to capture the shadows and lights of the environment in which it displayed creating a sense of dynamism.
The black roof creates a strong contrast to the rich body color for a dramatic visual statement. The pillars, roof, front, side, and rear glass all seamlessly connect — giving a panoramic feel to the cabin and promoting a sense of openness. Slim-line roof rails provide a practical counterpoint to the QX60 Monograph’s sleek, sporty proportions.
Japanese Inspirations
“The Infiniti QX60 Monograph vehicle embodies the Japanese concept of ‘Ma,’ a sense of minimalism where designers seek harmony. Moreover, adding just the right amount of elements with very specific meaning to create something special. This is evident on the body, where at a glance it is simple, but when you get closer. You see that there are elements that are playing against each other in a sense of harmony”.
The intricate folds of traditional Japanese origami were the inspiration for the inner mesh of the signature ‘Double Arch’ INFINITI grille. However, the result is a two-dimensional surface that projects a sense of three-dimensional depth. So, the same mesh pattern echoed in the side air intakes in the lower corners of the bumper. Also, the wide track and the sharp lines in the bodywork combine to deliver a sense of stability and a sophisticated visual statement.
A large panoramic roof features a “kimono fold” pattern. So, this geometric feature, a series of intricate perpendicular lines, draws inspiration from the folds of a silk kimono and the structures of Japan’s modern architecture.
Lighting the path forward
Moreover, intricate “Digital Piano Key” lighting at the front and rear projects a futuristic appearance. Also, showcases INFINITI’s desire to blend human artistry with the latest technology. So, the inner structure of the headlamp features a shape and pattern of lines inspired by an electrical heatsink device.
Bright white at the front, and Ultra-red at the back, the Infiniti QX60 Monograph vehicle’s lamps are accompanied by the glowing “infinite road” brand emblem. Also, combined the opening light sequence begins at the logo and fans out to the headlamps in a dynamic welcome for drivers.
The rear lamps of the vehicle are tinted and, when extinguished, appear to wrap around the back of the vehicle. And into the rear flanks in one continuous shape. So, as a complete package, the Infiniti QX60 Monograph vehicle reveals a transformation in the direction. So, the INFINITI MOTOR’s designers are adopting for the next-generation QX60. Thus, the production version of the next-generation Infiniti QX60 expected in 2021.
