The interior of the all-new 2019 Infiniti QX50 boasts a unique inspiration. The Infiniti design team created the on-trend, multi-tone colour combination for the available Autograph interior inspired by the look and feel of luxury resort hotels.
The designers wanted a forward-thinking interior and to provide drivers with a luxury experience every time they entered their QX50 mid-size crossover. For the unique colour combination, the design team drew inspiration from the experience one would have walking into a beachfront luxury resort.
Starting with warmer colour tones, the rich chocolate brown replicates wood applications in the resort and the surrounding trees, followed by a creamy off-white representing the sand on a beach. The highlights of a cooler dark navy blue on the centre console, reminiscent of the ocean water, strike the proper balance between warm and cool, creating a comfortable yet invigorating environment.
The QX50 interior is in line with modern design trends. In response to consumers’ continued embrace of colour, designers are recognising the need to show more colour in their collections, according to the Pantone Colour Institute.
Highlighting a more multi-faceted colour story, the three main colours of the QX50 Autograph interior are very similar to colour tones at the forefront of this year’s Pantone Fashion Colour Trend Report 2018. A creamy Pantone colour, called Coconut Milk, represents the classic mainstay of a white and/or off-white, a rich chocolate colour titled Emperador adds strength and substance, while Pantone’s classic navy-like Sailor Blue anchors the palette – just as the dark blue Ultrasuede application does on the QX50 interior.

The latest QX50 interior is finished in supple leathers, tailored stitching and genuine open-pore wood.
Where many luxury vehicle interiors use high-gloss wood surfaces to create the perception of quality, the 2019 QX50 is finished in genuine, matte-finish open-pore maple wood. It is treated to retain its natural characteristics in texture and appearance. Running a hand over it, the grain of the wood is still detectable to the touch, demonstrating a high level of craftsmanship to create an authentic, modern and highly tactile dashboard.
Using bespoke manufacturing methods, wrap-and-sew detailing is a highlight of the handcrafted ambience. The leather on the dash is selected for its quality and is hand-wrapped over the edges of the panels. The seats, door panels and dashboard feature a laser hole-cut stitch pattern, tailored to follow the curves of the interior surfaces. Contrast colour stitching is used on the seats for a luxury look and feel.
The available moonroof stretches across the cabin, providing a dramatic, panoramic view of the sky for passengers. This visually enhances interior space, flooding the cabin with natural light.
