英菲尼迪将在巴黎车展发布新一代QX50车型，该车设计风格将深受今年北京车展发布的QX Sport Inspiration概念车影响。这款概念车向我们提供了未来英菲尼迪中级SUV的设计方向，它契合了车厂未来最新设计趋势。这款概念车采用粗壮的折线和锐利的边缘，细窄前大灯和横贯整个车身侧面的腰线。在传统后视镜位置采用的是摄像头进行替代，这一配置将很快获得法律允许。车厢内采用全数字仪表群，平底方向盘，以驾驶员为核心设计的仪表板和更高中控台将驾驶员和乘客分开。现行版QX50 2016款车型进行了大幅改款，轴距进一步增加以提升车内空间，外观也获得升级。但新一代车型采用全新设计，这款车对于英菲尼迪来说非常重要。在去年，QX50销量占英菲尼迪美国总销量的51%，而今年上半年，SUV和跨界车销量占英菲尼迪整体销量的63%。

 

Infiniti QX50 replacement due at Paris Motor Show

The replacement for the Infiniti QX50 crossover will debut this fall at the Paris Motor Show, and it will draw much of its design language from the QX Sport Inspiration concept (pictured) revealed earlier this year in Beijing.

 

The QX Sport Inspiration concept provided a look at how Infiniti could restyle its midsize SUV to fit in with the company’s newest design trends. The show car had bold creases and sharply pointed edges, with ultra-skinny headlights and a prominent swage line across its bodysides. It even had cameras instead of traditional mirrors – a feature which may soon be legally allowed. Inside the cabin, the concept car showed off a fully digital instrument cluster, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and a driver-focused dashboard with a tall center console separating driver and passenger.

 

The current Infiniti QX50 was heavily revised for the 2016 model year, with its wheelbase stretched to improve interior room, and also received a visual update. But replacing the model with an all-new version comes as crossovers and SUVs become even more important for Infiniti. In 2015, the vehicles accounted for 51 percent of the brand’s U.S. sales. Through the first half of this year, SUVs and crossovers made up 63 percent of all Infiniti sales.

 

Stay tuned for more details on the Infiniti QX50 replacement as we approach the Paris show.
