Infiniti reveals QX30 Concept | New & Used Car Dealer

Infiniti signaled further intentions to grow in the premium compact segment with the world premiere of the QX30 Concept at the Geneva International Motor Show.

The QX30 concept is Infiniti’s design vision for a new premium compact crossover, targeting at a new generation of individualistic premium customers.

Bringing together the sleek lines of the coupe with the command sitting and all-wheel drive of a crossover, the QX30 Concept promises to be just as capable navigating city streets as it is exploring weekend getaways.

”With the QX30 Concept, we’re showcasing a distinctively contemporary alternative in the premium compact segment for those who want something more than the status quo,” said Roland Krueger, Infiniti President and CEO.

An international team designed the QX30 Concept to appeal to the global customer. Complementing the vehicle’s higher stance, the designers added visual cues which instantly identify the concept as a crossover such as 21-inch wheels, large tires, lower bumper, sculpted skid plates and very distinctive roof racks.

”We’ve used expected materials in an unexpected way and given functional elements an artistic twist,” said Albaisa. “It is the unconventional execution of a conventional element that makes the QX30 Concept a design leader.”

In addition, the Q60 Concept made its European debut at the show, hinting at Infiniti’s next sports coupe. The stunning two-door concept is a unique combination of eye-catching contours, the promise of heart-pumping dynamics and highest-quality finishes, giving premium customers a fresh and expressive design icon to which they can aspire.- See more at: http://www.infinitiusa.com/now/news-and-events/qx30-concept-debuts-in-geneva.html#sthash.fzmEuvgE.dpuf

2015 Q50 & Q70 Awarded Top Safety Pick | New & Used Car Dealer

2015 INFINITI Q50 AND Q70 AWARDED TOP SAFETY PICK+ RATING FROM IIHS 

2015 Infiniti Q50 sport sedan and Q70 luxury performance sedan models equipped with Forward Emergency Braking (with the exception of the Q70 V8 AWD) have earned the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) highest safety award, TOP SAFETY PICK+. The QX60 luxury SUV also took home some accolades, receiving an IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK rating.

IIHS safety awards are based on a vehicle’s ability to protect its occupants and prevent or mitigate crashes. To earn a TOP SAFETY PICK, vehicles must receive a 'good' rating in the moderate overlap front, side, roof strength, and head restraint performance tests, as well as a 'good' or 'acceptable' rating in the small overlap front test. To receive the highest rating of TOP SAFETY PICK+, vehicles must meet the same standards as for the TOP SAFETY PICK, as well as earn an 'advanced' or 'superior' rating for front crash prevention.

Q50 and Q70 models were awarded IIHS’ highest accolade for their performance on the IIHS crashworthiness evaluations, and the advanced front crash safety features available on both vehicles, particularly Infiniti’s Forward Emergency Braking (FEB) system.

FEB helps alert drivers to potential collisions with the vehicle in front of them by providing visual and audible warnings, and applying partial braking. If the driver doesn’t respond to the initial alerts, a more urgent warning is provided and an increased level of braking is applied to help avoid or mitigate a crash. The Q50 and Q70 can also be equipped with the world-first Predictive Forward Collision Warning (PFCW) system, which helps warn drivers of certain risks that may lie beyond their field of vision. PFCW senses not only the relative velocity and distance of a vehicle directly ahead, but also of the vehicle travelling in front of that one, providing audible and visual warnings when it detects traffic slowing ahead.- See more at: http://www.infinitiusa.com/now/news-and-events/q50-q70-earn-2015-top-safety-pick-award-from-iihs.html#sthash.mWTAPHec.dpuf
