Infiniti QX80

The well-awaited refresh to the iconic INFINITI QX80 has finally made its debut. Say hello to the all-new QX Monograph – inspired by INFINITI’s Japanese heritage with an emphasis on artistry. The QX Monograph is a perfect example of INFINITI’s evolution, characterized by a confident, athletic stance with graceful proportions. 

New signature elements include an illuminated three-dimensional emblem at the front that gives the new INFINITI logo a front and center debut, the double-arched radiator grille inspired by the grandeur of a bamboo forest, and a new “digital piano key” lighting that grabs your attention. A powerful, sleek profile with a minimalist exterior can be found with a spacious interior. 

The paint color is a striking new hue named “Akane” – inspired by the powerful and serene moment of a sunset. A complex, six-layer structure to capture the proper appearance of a warm glow into a dark sky transition. The QX Monograph’s prominent double-arched radiator grille bring upright lines within a mesh inner channel to create the flow of a bamboo forest. Finished in gloss black to complement the dark chrome, the grille gives a powerful driving experience. 

The unique lighting system that separates the main headlight assembly and daytime running lights results in a sense of the extraordinary – “Kabuku” – paired with the intricate “digital piano keys” at the top of the grille. Beneath the “digital piano keys” lies the illuminated new INFINITI branded logo as a visual focal point to boldly announce the vehicle’s arrival. 

The rear of the QX Monograph makes just as power of an exit. The tail lights run the width of the body, while the lamps feature a smoked finish that illuminated a vibrant shade of red once switched on. Inner housing channels the reflection of light on water, giving a memorable signature. The front and rear lighting delivers both “welcome” and “farewell” animation sequences that artfully create a sense of motion. At the front, the animation commences within the newly crafted three-dimensional INFINITI emblem within the grille and moves outward, highlighting the bamboo-inspired mesh of the radiator grille.

Large, precision machine-finished wheels with bold red highlights and gloss black and shadow chrome spokes compliment the powerful stance of the QX Monograph. The roof is adorned with a large “Kimono fold” pattern motif. Finished in “Akane,” the geometric pattern punctuates the gloss black finish, showcasing the profile of a large panoramic roof.
