The Infiniti QX60 has been around for
nearly a decade (since the days of the JX), and it’s in dire need of a
replacement. Luckily, the Japanese carmaker is planning a little surprise for
us come September 24. That’s when they’ll unveil the QX60 Monograph, which
according to the press release is a prototype. What this means is that we
should be looking at an SUV that’s nearly ready for production, instead of some
type of futuristic concept that will eventually get toned down.
The reveal will happen online on the
carmaker’s official website, on the aforementioned date at 8 PM EDT / 7 PM CDT
– which is actually the 25th of September if you’re in Japan. We’d have to go
back to December of 2015 if we’re trying to remember the last time Infiniti
actually updated the QX60. They changed the front-end styling, added LED
daytime running lights, redesigned the taillights and improved the ride
comfort. The next iteration however will need to do much better than this in
order to successfully compete in today’s midsize premium SUV segment.
As for what the Monograph prototype will
look like, the teaser image isn’t particularly revealing – apart from the
headlight graphics, which are slightly different than what the carmaker
currently uses on its production models.
