It's not uncommon to see big SUVs with some measure of camouflage coverings prowling the streets of Detroit. Such a sighting usually involves something from the General Motors family or Ford, but this time our photographer caught an Infiniti QX80 on the move. It's our first sighting of a prototype for the luxury SUV's next generation, and with the current model dating back to 2010, it's about time.
If you're a fan of the current QX80, it looks like Infiniti won't be rocking the boat too much in terms of overall design. We still see a rather boxy SUV with slab sides and a tall greenhouse, but openings for headlights offer clues to its new face. As is popular with most new vehicles, thin lights are mounted up high with a second set of vertically-oriented lights mid-mounted in the front end. A larger trapezoid grille is in the middle, mounted above a prominent pair of rectangular vents at the lower end of the fascia.
