PEBBLE BEACH, Calif., Aug. 14, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- INFINITI returns to the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance as the company continues the celebration of its 30th anniversary. As a part of this milestone, INFINITI will introduce its EDITION 30 models, a line of specially equipped vehicles that highlight the company’s 30-year legacy. Additionally, throughout the weekend INFINITI will showcase its vision for its future showroom while also honoring the company’s heritage at the Japanese Automotive Invitational.
INFINITI debuts EDITION 30 models
In celebration of its 30th anniversary, INFINITI will introduce its EDITION 30 line of specially equipped models at the 2019 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. On display at the INFINITI Pavilion throughout the weekend, the EDITION 30 line includes specially trimmed versions of the Q50, Q60, QX50, QX60 and QX80. These vehicles feature exclusive exterior design touches, and they include as standard a collection of the world’s first driver assistance technologies that INFINITI has brought to market.
The INFINITI EDITION 30 line will arrive at retailers in the fall of 2019 as 2020 models. More details on these vehicles will be available closer to on-sale date.
INFINITI previews its future showroom
From the beginning, INFINITI has worked to redefine the relationship between car and driver, starting with the customer experience in the showroom. When INFINITI arrived on the market, other luxury brands at that time were perceived as unattainable, and INFINITI seized the opportunity to champion a more inclusive environment with a distinctively warm and welcoming atmosphere that continues to draw people in today.
The Inspiration line offers a preview of forthcoming production models, as well as a glimpse into the company's vision to blend performance and electrification. The advent of electrified platforms heralds a fresh approach to what crossovers and sedans could look like. With new exterior proportions, electrified powertrains allow for additional interior space, enabling spacious and lounge-like interiors.
Looking ahead, INFINITI’s future showroom maintains the brand’s simplified design aesthetic while highlighting the next generation of modern luxury vehicles, innovative technologies and breakthrough powertrains. Pebble Beach Concours attendees will be among the first to experience INFINITI’s future showroom that features the company’s line of Inspiration concept vehicles. The Q, QX and Qs Inspiration concepts reimagine automotive design for an electrified era and foreshadow the design of upcoming production vehicles from INFINITI.
