Infiniti models to get new hierarchical naming structure from 2014. Infiniti is to change how it names its cars, with each model in the range getting a letter and number designation based on its body type and place in the line-up.
Saloon and convertible models will get a Q prefix, with SUVs branded QX.
Under the new naming convention, which will be used from 2014, the M saloon becomes the Q70 and the G series coupe and convertible become Q60.
The new G series saloon, which is tipped to make its debut at next years Detroit motor show, will take the name Q50.
The EX and FX SUVs become QX50 and QX70 respectively. The JX and QX SUVs, which are not on sale in the UK, are designated QX60 and QX80.
Infiniti says that the change in naming strategy is in reference to the Q45, the companys first car.
It is hoping that that change will bring greater clarity to a range, which, Infiniti says is going to see significant growth in the coming years.
