Detroit Preview: Infiniti Concept Sedan: Comments

[Drew Dowdell]

Infiniti will debut a new concept car at the 2018 North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January.  Today the company released a teaser image of the coming concept sedan.

Unlike most teaser images that show a silhouette or just a glowing headlight, Infiniti opted for a white car on a white background.  This allows us to see a little bit more detail.   The current Infiniti signature grille appears to be gone, replaced with a deep sulking one with a finely finned intake somewhat reminiscent of the front turbine on a jet engine. Inside rests a prominent and very three dimensional Infiniti logo.  Behind that are deep cut-lines in the hood that flow back into the fender. 

Infiniti says that this concept will evolve the traditional sedan formula around new compact engine architecture, allowing for a longer cabin, balance proportions, and muscular stance.

The Infiniti Concept will be unveiled in the Cobo Center in Detroit on January 15th 2018 at 12:35 pm est.

If the production version gets anywhere close to this, I agree.

That front end makes me think this could be based on Nissan's new EV, Hybrid, ICE platform. I could totally see it as an EV car. on the other hand, WTF Infiniti, cars are a dying area, where are the new superior CUV's?

Maybe the executives missed the memo that most of America is crazy about CUVs rather than cars.

This is a design concept... it's meant more to show off what the future look of Infinitis will be from coupe to sedan to crossover.

They already have 4-5 CUVs and SUVs, I'm sure another bunch are coming...
