Future Infiniti QX80 – in new York

4 April 2017

A fragment of the new Infiniti QX80 was posted on Twitter

It is very long to wait for the opening of the doors of the new York auto show. In anticipation of this event on the official account Infiniti has published a photo fragment of a new car premium Japanese brand. On the background of such "animals" as a Dodge Demon Challenger SRT and Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, which also will debut at the motor show in new York, Infiniti will need to work very hard to attract attention to their stand. Therefore, the heated interest in advance.

Apart from a brief description to the photo, which carries no information other than the time display, nothing more. Chances are that it's flagship QX80 SUV from Infiniti. But the concept car is a restyling of the existing model or a new generation – not yet known.

You can draw Parallels with the Nissan Armada, which was recently completely renovated and to assume that Infiniti expects the same fate. However, given that the QX80 on the market for seven years (at the time of the debut, QX56) and this time I had already been upgraded (the last time along with the change of name in 2013), it is likely we face a new generation of the big SUV. Although we should not ignore the option next deep modernization of the current QX80.

Head optics, which did a lot of good designers, and a raised bumper – all that you can tell from the teaser. But there is a certainty with the engine – in the absence of obvious alternatives it deserved a V8 volume of 5.6 liters capacity of about 400 HP, the same applies to the 7-speed automatic transmission coupled with the transmission All-Mode 4WD.
