Infiniti's plans for EV in Calgary
January 12 2024,
Post the October 2023 Tokyo Auto Show, Infiniti stands out with its electrifying entry into the EV market. The Vision Qe concept, initially revealed ahead of the show, highlights the brand's strategic shift. Choosing a sleek sedan over the more popular SUV trend, Infiniti boldly diverges from its competitors' paths.
The Vision Qe: A Masterpiece of Movement and Grace
The Vision Qe, a large fastback sedan, mirrors the serene beauty of a river rock. It's a visual embodiment of the Japanese "Sho" concept, representing a bird's majestic flight. Alfonso Albaisa, Infiniti's Senior VP for Global Design, has crafted a vehicle that resonates with elegance and dynamism. Its dark metallic blue hue, laced with gold, adds a touch of opulence.
Artistic Ingenuity in Design
The Vision Qe stands out with its illuminated detailing and a design that seemingly flows. The standout features include the large, gold-tinted wheels, designed to mimic electric motor coils, and the subtly glowing rear spoiler and front fascia.
From Concept to Reality
While the Vision Qe concept set the stage at the Tokyo Auto Show, its journey to production remains the focus. The eventual production model, anticipated to be manufactured alongside a Nissan counterpart in Mississippi, could revive a classic Infiniti sedan name, possibly the Q70. With a planned start in 2025, these models are expected to hit the market by the 2026 model year.
An Electrifying Rennaissance
The Vision Qe concept is Infiniti's declaration of its commitment to the EV market. By leading with a sophisticated sedan, Infiniti challenges current market trends, possibly reshaping the future of luxury EVs. Following the buzz at the Tokyo Auto Show, all eyes are on Infiniti as it gears up to electrify the roads.
