QX Sport Inspiration concept a blend of power and artistry

With the world premiere of its QX Sport Inspiration concept car in Beijing on Saturday, Infiniti signified its expansion into the midsize sport utility vehicle market - one of the world's largest and fastest-growing premium segments.

Themed "Power and Artistry", the event was held two days before 2016 Beijing International Automobile Exhibition, the country's most important auto event of the year.

With its taut lines, muscular haunches, high visual center of gravity, long bonnet and raked, couple-like silhouette, the QX Sport Inspiration is inspired by "Power and Artistry" and bears the brand's design hallmarks: the signature double-arch grille, focused "human eye" headlamps, "crescent-cut" C-pillar, and the masculine but fluid body sculpting.
