DETROIT (Jan. 7, 2007) – Following a record setting sales trend and the
successful launch of the all-new G sedan, Infiniti is keeping the momentum going
with today’s unveiling of the 2008 Infiniti QX full-size luxury sport utility
vehicle at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
With a new interior and refined exterior, Infiniti is enhancing and improving
what customers already love about the QX – styling, technology, comfort –
without compromising its towing capacity and interior roominess.
“Like the all-new G Sedan, the 2008 QX demonstrates Infiniti’s philosophy of
constantly evolving in the competitive luxury segment,” said Mark Igo, vice
president and general manager of Infiniti. “Despite being voted by consumers as
top in its class in the J.D. Power and Associates 2006 Automotive Performance,
Execution and Layout (APEAL) Study, we’ve given the new QX significant upgrades
in the areas of interior design, performance, luxury features, and technology.”
The new QX, which goes on sale at Infiniti retailers nationwide in April 2007,
is the first major revision since it joined the luxury SUV scene in 2004 with a
number of class-leading standard features. The exterior enhancements to the new
QX include new front and rear fascias, new front fog lamps, new roof rack,
standard 20-inch chromed aluminum-alloy wheels, and two new exterior colors –
Lakeshore Slate and Serengeti Sand.
The QX’s new interior is highlighted by a new instrument panel cluster design
with Fine Vision electroluminescent instrumentation and a new genuine wood grain
interior trim. Comfort and convenience is enhanced with a new 3rd-row power
folding seat, standard heated steering wheel on the 4WD model, and a new stone
interior.
Technological advancements include a new standard Premium Audio System with
Bose® Speakers, Burr-Brown Digital Audio Converter and 9.5-gigabyte Music Box
hard drive and compact flash slot for playing MP3 files, Infiniti Navigation
system and Intelligent Key.
Also available is an Infiniti Mobile Entertainment System with a larger screen
(8.0 inches versus the previous 7.0), and a standard XM® NavTraffic™ system with
real-time traffic information (requires active XM® satellite radio subscription)
– which allows drivers to chose the most efficient route to get to their
destination.
The QX maintains its class-leading 2nd row roominess, go-anywhere ruggedness and
the abundant power and up to 9,000-pound towing capability (when properly
equipped) of the standard 320-horsepower DOHC 5.6-liter V8 engine.
Infiniti is keeping to its promise of delivering three new cars in thirteen
months by introducing the next-generation Infiniti G Coupe and a new crossover
sport utility concept at the 2007 New York International Auto Show in April.
