This luxury three-row crossover was introduced by INFINITI for the 2013 model year, with sales beginning in spring 2012 in North America. It marked the brand’s first entry into the seven-passenger, family-oriented luxury crossover segment and was positioned around interior space, flexible seating, and a strong emphasis on comfort and advanced safety technology. INFINITI’s own historical materials describe it as the vehicle that brought new levels of family-focused luxury and innovation to the lineup, and contemporary press materials identify it specifically as the 2013 model year launch. For the 2014 model year, the nameplate was replaced by the QX60 as part of INFINITI’s wider renaming strategy, so this model’s production run is a single continuous period rather than a nameplate that returned later. The vehicle is historically important because it introduced the format and packaging that would continue under the new badge, making it the direct predecessor to the modern QX60 line.
