INFINITI QX65 Monograph Concept: A Bold Sportback SUV

INFINITI QX65 Monograph Sportback SUV Concept: Building on the Trailblazing Spirit of the FX

At Monterey Car Week, INFINITI introduced a bold new vision of its future with the debut of the QX65 Monograph, a sportback SUV concept that redefines style, presence, and character in the midsize luxury segment. Revealed at The Quail, this concept brings fresh energy to the brand’s design philosophy, while paying homage to the daring spirit of the original FX—an SUV that once challenged the rules of design and performance.

A New Chapter in INFINITI’s Renaissance

The QX65 Monograph is more than just a concept car—it’s a statement. With its fastback silhouette, muscular proportions, and meticulous detailing, the vehicle embodies the evolution of INFINITI’s Artistry in Motion design language.

Alfonso Albaisa, INFINITI’s Senior Vice President for Global Design, describes it best:
"QX65 Monograph has extraordinary character, combining inspiration from our innovative FX coupe SUV with Artistry in Motion principles to create a stylish two-row that proudly stands apart in the cluttered midsize luxury space."

With its unapologetic stance and forward-looking vision, the QX65 signals INFINITI’s commitment to bold design choices and an exciting new era for its lineup.

Sculpted With Speed and Elegance

One of the most striking elements of the QX65 Monograph is its fastback roofline. The design arcs gracefully across the upper body before plunging toward the rear, creating a continuous sense of motion—even at a standstill. This sleek roofline contrasts against the SUV’s powerful lower body, emphasized by wide fenders and wheels pushed to the corners, giving the vehicle a planted, athletic presence.

The QX65 Monograph wears a stunning Twilight paint finish, a color-shifting satin developed exclusively for the concept. In sunlight, the surface transitions from reddish-purple to shimmering gold, capturing the essence of twilight fading into night. Accents of gloss black and bronze add a touch of modern sophistication, further enhancing its bold presence.

Design Details That Dazzle

Every inch of the QX65 Monograph reveals INFINITI’s precision craftsmanship:

• Grille Inspired by Nature: Shaped to evoke bamboo forests swaying in the wind, with a wilder, more dynamic texture for this sportback SUV.
• Piano Key Lighting: A digital LED light bar stretches nearly the full width of the nose, offering a dazzling light show with a uniquely Japanese Kabuku spirit.
• Aeronautical Taillights: Inspired by aircraft tailfins, the rear LED cluster projects a futuristic 3D effect, giving depth and drama to the back end.
• 22-Inch Wheels: Intricately layered spokes twist and interweave, echoing the sense of speed running through the vehicle’s entire form.

These refined touches transform the QX65 Monograph into more than a concept—it’s a piece of sculptural artistry.

A Signal of What’s to Come

Tiago Castro, Vice President of INFINITI Americas, made the company’s intentions clear:
"QX65 Monograph is more than a concept — it’s a signal that INFINITI is moving decisively into its next era. With QX65, we’re expanding our portfolio with purpose and shaping the bold, confident future of INFINITI."

The QX65 Monograph is both a tribute to the groundbreaking FX and a daring leap into tomorrow. It promises a future where sportiness, elegance, and innovation converge in a way only INFINITI can deliver.

As anticipation builds, one thing is certain: INFINITI isn’t just playing it safe—it’s rewriting the rules of design and luxury for the midsize SUV market.
