The next-generation Infiniti FX crossover, to be renamed QX70, is being redesigned to provide more cabin space, the Japanese automaker revealed earlier this week.
Speaking to Automotive News, Nissan’s global design chief, Shiro Nakamura, said the next FX will keep its striking looks, but will be designed with a roomier interior in mind.
"The FX has been the icon of Infiniti. Exterior and styling-wise, it's very strong as an icon. But to be honest, its sale volume has not been as big as we wanted. I think we put a little too much emphasis on exterior styling on the current FX", said Nakamura.
"There is a balance. But if you compare it to some competitors, like Porsche Cayenne, we have some disadvantage. It's not a weakness, but there's some opportunity for us there. So our challenge is to maintain the striking look of it while making it slightly larger inside,” he added.
