The INFINITI Vision Qe concept unveiled beside Tokyo Bay, marks a pivotal moment in INFINITI's journey towards electrification. This concept car not only showcases INFINITI's refined design language but also paves the way for its inaugural all-electric sedan.
Embracing the philosophy of "Artistry in Motion," the Vision Qe concept represents a significant leap in design for the electric vehicle (EV) era. The concept car blends intricate artistic elements into a single, fluid design that gracefully transitions from the front to the rear. Its aerodynamic fastback profile conveys a sense of dynamic motion, perfectly encapsulating the essence of the design theme.
INFINITI's global design team drew inspiration from three core Japanese philosophies to shape the Vision Qe concept. The first, "Kabuku," revolves around creating a design that feels extraordinary and exceptional. The second, "Sho," reflects the embodiment of speed, dynamism, and movement, while the third, "Sui," emphasizes sophistication and purity. These elements culminate in a design that foreshadows the future of INFINITI's all-electric fastback sedans.
The Vision Qe concept's design hints at its potential for exhilarating performance. The body, with its elegant contours and muscular fenders, suggests an engaging all-electric driving experience. Alfonso Albaisa, INFINITI's Senior Vice President for Global Design, highlights the influence of "Sho" in the design process, likening it to a bird in flight—powerful yet graceful.
The Shadow Blue color scheme of the Vision Qe concept, enhanced with golden highlights, shifts under varying light conditions, embodying INFINITI's refreshed visual identity. This blend of blue and gold hues reflects the brand's new direction.
The concept features large wheels with a unique geometric pattern, reminiscent of an electric motor's tightly wound coil. The wheels' warm gold accents strikingly contrast the deep blue body, adding to the car's allure.
Adapting to the EV era, INFINITI's iconic double-arched grille is reinterpreted. It now features sculpted lines in the front fascia, highlighted with bright LED outlines, symbolizing the brand's transition to electric vehicles.
The concept's lighting incorporates INFINITI's "digital piano key" signature, illuminating in a brilliant gold shade. The front fascia showcases INFINITI's new three-dimensional emblem, flanked by slender headlights that enhance the vehicle's width. The rear is adorned with digital piano key tail lamps that span its width, integrated within an aerodynamic lip. These lights create an animated, welcoming sequence, embodying INFINITI's commitment to thoughtful hospitality.
The Vision Qe is scheduled for release in 2025. Until then, if you’re interested in experiencing the riding dynamic in an INFINITI sedan, visit us at Berglund INFINITI of Roanoke to take the INFINITI Q50 for a spin.
