Infiniti has made it official that it will showcase a new concept at the fast-approaching 2017 Detroit Auto Show. The concept will eventually spawn a new mid-size SUV from the Japanese automaker.
The concept is an evolution of the QX Sport Inspiration which was unveiled at the 2016 Beijing Auto Show. The latter was made as a showcase for the future design template of QX models.
The new QX50 Concept evolves this concept further and shows how Infiniti could develop its future presence in the mid-size SUV space which is currently the fastest-growing segment globally. The concept also previews a few autonomous drive support technologies. The tech will act as a co-pilot for the driver and delegate more arduous driving tasks such as navigating stop-start traffic on the highway or keeping track of surrounding vehicles.
The QX50 Concept’s autonomous drive support systems preview the first production-ready incarnation of a technology package that will be developed further in future Infiniti production models.
