Infiniti Q90 Flagship Sedan Spotted

Obviously absent from Infiniti‘s current lineup is a range-topping sedan, a vehicle that would take on the likes of the BMW 7 Series and the Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

Alfonso Albaisa, who is current the executive design chief for the Japanese company, is looking to change that if the above sketch is any sign. Regretably, as with all leaks like this, very little details are revealed but one thing is clear: Infiniti wants to have a flagship version and it could be coming soon.

Nowadays at the top of Infiniti’s model range is its M vehicles, which will be renamed to the Q70 when the next-gen of the sedan is presented. That said, this sketch of a larger flagship version with a long wheelbase, larger wheels and massive front grille points toward what would presumably be named the Q90.

Previous reports have suggested Infiniti is indeed exploring the idea of a fresh top-tier sedan and brand boss Johan de Nysschen even went so far as to say it wouldn’t be conventional like the 7 Series or S-Class. Notably, a swoopy coupe-style model similar to the A7, Mercedes CLS surely fits the bill.
