INFINITI Celebrates Three And A Half Decades Of Design At Pebble Beach

INFINITI is set to return to Pebble Beach™ Automotive Week and the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance®, marking 35 years of innovative design. This year, INFINITI will showcase its flagship SUV, the all-new 2025 QX80, at The Quail. Additionally, a donation of the 2025 INFINITI QX80 will benefit the Salinas Valley Health foundation and Seneca Family of Agencies on Concours Sunday.

Since its inception in 1989, INFINITI has been known for its bold designs and commitment to thoughtful hospitality, a principle rooted in Japanese culture. The Q45 sedan was INFINITI's first foray into the luxury automotive market, offering a striking exterior and a luxurious interior focused on driver comfort. The FX50 crossover, introduced in 2003, gained popularity among enthusiasts for its aggressive styling and performance-oriented design.
