In November, it was announced that
both Nissan and Infiniti will display EV concepts
at the 2019 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, taking place in January. Previously, it wasn’t made clear what kind of vehicles they would be, but
stated today that its Detroit concept will be an electric
. Both the
and Infiniti concepts will continue the design direction shown by Infiniti’s
, and later next year, there will be stylistically similar cars shown at the
in October.
The luxury brand has released the above teaser photo of the crossover, depicting sharp headlights and a lit grille outline surrounding the badging. We can also see large wheels and tires and sizeable, defined wheel arches. Future Infinitis will be electrified from 2021 on, featuring either serial
tech or full electric drivetrains. Serial hybrid refers to using Nissan’s e-power technology, which relies on range extender engines instead of a large combustion engine (such as Infiniti’s lauded VC-Turbo).
The
is also a significant event for Infiniti, as the brand and its first car, the grille-less
luxury sedan, was first displayed 30 years ago at the 1989
.
“Thirty years ago, as a 24-year-old designer in the audience, I saw the birth of Infiniti in person and am proud to be part of the journey of creating iconic
,” said Nissan’s senior vice president for global design, Alfonso Albaisa.
Meanwhile, Infiniti’s November 2018 sales were the best November numbers in the brand’s history.
“The
we will show in Detroit is the beginning of a new era for Infiniti, and an illustration of where we want to go with the brand,” said Karim Habib, Infiniti’s design director. Earlier, Albaisa echoed his statements, telling us how electrification can inspire the brand’s future design thanks to the battery packs’ size development, saying: “It’s getting denser, it’s getting thinner, the cars are able to get a little bit bigger, more space, we can really do much more.”
