Every now and then, a concept car comes along that makes you sit up and think, this is where things are headed. That’s exactly the vibe INFINITI gave us with the INFINITI QX65 Monograph reveal at Monterey Car Week 2025. This isn’t the final production model, far from it. But it’s a bold look into the future, and it’s hard to look away.
Artistry in Motion Takes the Next Step
The QX65 Monograph is more than just a pretty face. It builds on INFINITI’s evolving Artistry in Motion design language, showcasing sleek proportions and a sense of dynamic flow. The body is sculpted and seamless, giving the vehicle a premium presence that feels both modern and timeless.
There’s precision in every surface. The grille and lighting elements blend effortlessly into the body, and from every angle, the QX65 Monograph exudes sophistication. It’s a clear statement: INFINITI’s design renaissance is not just talk, it’s becoming reality.
INFINITI QX65 Monograph Power and Performance Potential
While INFINITI hasn’t dropped engine specs just yet, the QX65 Monograph’s confident stance suggests there’s serious performance beneath its sculpted shell. The concept’s sporty proportions hint at a crossover with spirited handling, likely sitting between the QX60 and the future QX80.
Even without specifics, it’s safe to expect a refined powertrain paired with advanced tech. INFINITI appears ready to mix luxury with responsive dynamics in a way that fits today’s lifestyle-focused luxury buyer.
QX80 Track Spec and Terrain Spec: Dual Visions of Power
INFINITI didn’t stop with one concept. Alongside the QX65 Monograph came two unique takes on its all-new flagship SUV: the QX80 Track Spec and QX80 Terrain Spec. These aren’t your average SUVs. They’re wildly reimagined design studies that stretch the QX80 platform into bold new territory.
The Track Spec leans into performance-inspired flair, while the Terrain Spec embraces off-road ruggedness. It’s an intriguing duality, INFINITI showcasing both extremes of what its future flagship SUV could become. Whether you’re chasing lap times or backwoods adventures, the brand’s vision has you covered.
Design Leadership on Display
At The Quail, attendees were treated to a walkaround of the QX65 Monograph led by none other than Alfonso Albaisa, INFINITI’s senior vice president of Global Design. Hearing him speak about the design process, about how the curves and lines tell a story, made it clear this isn’t just another concept. It’s a philosophy in motion.
Also on hand was Tiago Castro, vice president of INFINITI Americas, underlining the strategic importance of these design concepts for the brand’s North American market.
Monterey Car Week: The Perfect Stage
It’s no surprise that INFINITI chose Monterey Car Week to showcase these concepts. With the QX65 Monograph debuting at The Quail and heading to the Concept Lawn at Pebble Beach, this was a moment designed for maximum impact.
And let’s not forget the brand’s long-standing connection to the event, this year marks the 19th year INFINITI has partnered with Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. That kind of continuity says a lot about the brand’s place in the luxury automotive conversation.
Summary
INFINITI’s QX65 Monograph and the twin QX80 concepts offer a thrilling glimpse into the brand’s future. Whether you’re drawn to the refined design language of the QX65 or the bold extremes of the QX80 variants, one thing’s clear, INFINITI is embracing innovation and style with renewed energy. These concepts might be teasers, but they’re ones we won’t forget anytime soon.
