The luxury brand says the concept, designed in Japan, shows how the design “could evolve” for its current QX80 full-size SUV. “QX80 Monograph … is an exploration into how we could enhance our future Infiniti offering in the luxury SUV segment,” said Roland Krueger, president of Infiniti Motor Company, in a statement.

The concept bears a clear resemblance to the current QX80 design, which dates to 2011, but with more luxury in the look and a little less eccentricity. The aggressive face is more deeply sculpted and carries a bigger grille in the “double-arch” shape that now is an Infiniti signature. The front fenders are more angular and the headlights rise to a more typical location to stretch around the corners. The rear roof pillar still angles forward, but with a new shape.
