2013 Infiniti JX concept

The 2013 Infiniti JX concept (as it is currently known) will debut this August at the Infiniti-sponsored Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. Although the JX will share its basic platform with the Nissan Murano and thus likely use its 3.5-liter V6/CVT Powertrains, Infiniti has trademarked the JX20, JX25, JX25h and JX30 names, leading us to believe that smaller-displacement V6 engines and hybrid models will be offered.

Had enough of Infiniti’s recent barrage of cryptic teaser shots? You’re in luck, as the automaker unwrapped the new JX Concept — which previews a new crossover model — this evening in Pebble Beach, California.



Though Infiniti representatives dub this particular car a concept, we’re told it’s a fairly accurate preview of the forthcoming 2013 JX. Subsequently, Infiniti believes the JX — which is sized between the sporty FX crossover and the large QX56 sport-utility can succeed in today’s market.



The three-row luxury crossover segment provides a huge opportunity for Infiniti, Ben Poore, Infiniti Americas vice president, said in a prepared release. The JX’s long, muscular front clip and elongated headlamps recall that of the FX, while its tall roofline and bold grille echo the QX. The sole interior photo released shows a cabin that resembles the FX but adopts the QX’s wood accents, chrome trim and upscale door panel accents. Infiniti also says passengers can tilt and slide those seats forward for access to the third row, even if a child seat is still installed in a second-row seat.
