The 2017 North American Auto Show saw a lot of fantastic new concepts and models, including INFINITI’s new vision for their next-gen midsize crossover: the QX50 Concept.

Using the automaker’s new “Powerful Elegance” design that debuted on the QX Sport Inspiration Concept last year, the new QX50 Concept utilizes a “cabin-forward” silhouette design that showcases graceful curves, as well as powerful lines.

“With the unveiling of the QX Sport Inspiration at the 2016 Beijing Auto Show, we showed the future of INFINITI QX models. The new QX50 Concept evolves this concept further and shows how INFINITI could develop its future presence in what is the fastest-growing vehicle segment globally,” said Roland Krueger, President of INFINITI.

A Unification of Interior & Exterior Design

One of the core principles behind the new concept is the integration of the car’s cabin and its exterior by having the car’s interior flow more seamlessly with the exterior’s design shape. On top of that, the concept also employs autonomous driving technology that INFINITI hopes to adopt into their lineup in the coming years.

According to a recent press release, “The INFINITI QX50 Concept’s driver assist system is part of the company’s development of autonomous driving support technologies. The development strategy for all future INFINITI autonomous drive support systems is that they should ensure the driver retains control over their vehicle – in keeping with INFINITI’s focus on driver engagement.”
