Infiniti has released a teaser image of its new Q Inspiration Concept, ahead of its debut at the 2018 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

The exterior features avoids classical saloon forms with its elongated silhouette and clean lines.

As Infiniti begins to embark on a new era of advanced powertrains, this concept presents the brand’s future design vision.

Karim Habib, executive design director at Infiniti, said: “We aim to take traditional saloon architecture to its next stage of evolution. Experimenting with new proportions in an established segment with the arrival of smarter, compact powertrains, the Q Inspiration features a shorter hood and elongated body, with all the benefits to interior wellbeing, comfort and space that this layout entails.”

The Infiniti Q Inspiration Concept will be officially revealed in Detroit on January 15, 2018.
