近日，国外某网站读者MarcinKozak在美国胡佛水坝上拍到了正在测试，车身进行伪装的下一代英菲尼迪QX50，他在社交网站发布了这些照片。经过改款的伪装更稍微多的透露了车头造型，但在车尾增加了更多遮盖。在去年年初举办的北美国际车展上，英菲尼迪曾发布了全新的QX50概念车。从照片看，全新的英菲尼迪QX50就造型而言基本上延续了与概念车在形象上的一致，宽阔扁平的前脸和硕大边角进气口完全进行了伪装。细窄的LED前大灯与宽阔的格栅相连。伪装的接缝表明该车采用了蚌壳形引擎盖，突出的折线一直向下延伸的跨界车侧面。早期的谍照显示，该车的边缘很锐利，而侧窗与后柱相连，但车厂在这款车上取消了这样的设计。工程师对棱角分明的尾灯组进行了遮盖。不过，车厂无法掩盖车尾的折线。内装照片显示，车厢内采用大量真皮和金属装饰。信息娱乐系统显示屏位于中控台顶部，两个空调出风口中间。量产版QX50将搭载车厂的可变压缩比2.0升VC-Turbo引擎，可改变活塞冲程，根据需要最大限度提升功率或燃油经济性，该引擎功率200千瓦/268马力，扭矩390牛米。新一代QX50将于明年初上市。
Next-gen Infiniti QX50 Spied Testing On Hoover Dam
Motor1 reader Marcin Kozak managed to snap these photos of a camouflaged Infiniti QX50 at the Hoover Dam, and he let us share them with the rest of the community. Revised camouflage provides a slightly better look at the front but adds more concealment to the rear in comparison to previous test mules.
Up front, the QX50 bears a resemblance to the QX50 Concept from last year’s Detroit Auto Show. A broad lower fascia and big corner intakes are evident through the camouflage. Skinny LED headlights also connect to the wide grille. The seams on the concealment suggest a clamshell hood, and the design leads to a prominent crease that runs down the side of the crossover.
Earlier spy photos showed the sharp-edged design where the side glass attaches to the rear pillar, but Infiniti concealed the part on this model. The engineers also put more camouflage over the angular taillights. The company can’t hide the heavily creased lines back there, though. Previous images offer a look inside the new QX50, and it appears to be a nice place to spend time with lots of leather and metal accents. The infotainment screen nestled into the top of the center stack between two vents.
The production QX50 would reportedly be available with Infiniti’s variable-compression 2.0-liter VC-Turbo that can alter its piston stroke, depending on the need to maximize power or efficiency. The mill produces 268 horsepower (200 kilowatts) and 288 pound-feet of torque (390 Newton-meters).
The new QX50 likely goes on sale in early 2018.
