Infiniti has announced the QX50 Autograph special option with a seriously upgraded interior. Infiniti design team drew inspiration from the experience one would have walking into a luxury resort beachfront hotel.

“Starting with warmer colour tones, the rich chocolate brown replicates wood applications in the resort and the surrounding trees, followed by a creamy off-white representing the sand on a beach. The highlights of a cooler dark navy blue on the center console, reminiscent of the ocean water, strike the proper balance between warm and cool, creating a comfortable, yet invigorating environment,” explained Infiniti.

The wrap-and-sew detailing is a highlight of the handcrafted ambience. The leather on the dash is selected for its quality and is hand-wrapped over the edges of the panels. The seats, door panels and dashboard feature a laser hole-cut stitch pattern, tailored to follow the curves of the interior surfaces. Contrast colour stitching is used on the seats for a luxury look and feel.

The available moonroof stretches across the cabin, providing a dramatic, panoramic view of the sky for passengers. This visually enhances interior space, flooding the cabin with natural light.

“The 2019 Infiniti QX50 has primarily garnered attention around car enthusiast circles for its variable compression engine. It’s a marvel of engineering that uniquely changes its compression ratio to maximize power and fuel efficiency. It can also switch between Atkinson and regular combustion cycles, utilize multi-point or direct injection, it’s turbocharged, and even features an electric motor that controls the variable compression ratio,” commented autoblog.

The QX50’s cabin boasts a segment-leading 1,822 litres of space, with a sliding rear bench enhancing cabin and cargo flexibility and creating best-in-class rear legroom. With all seats in place, it accommodates three golf bags, or a stroller stored lengthways, with space for additional cargo. Available ProPILOT Assist technologies offer support when needed and add to the enjoyment and confidence of the driver. The QX50 offers drivers class-leading fuel efficiency with 10.0 L/100km city driving and 7.8 L highway driving for a combined 9.0L/100 km.
