The exterior styling of the QX projects a very powerful presence, from the large hood, to the taut, barrel-shaped sides. The large 20-inch tires are placed close to the edge of the wheel wells, enhancing the athletic stance, while the standard 9-spoke chromed aluminum-alloy wheels complement the QX's sophisticated luxury imagery. A distinctive power-operated lift gate with opening rear glass and a large bumper with integrated towing hardware complete the rear exterior appearance.

The exterior design also offers a long list of additional features, including chrome front door handles, dual power-adjustable chrome side mirrors with puddle lamps. Also offered as standard is a Rear and Front Proximity Sensor (back-up obstacle warning system) in the rear and front bumper.


Six attractive exterior colors are offered for the QX: Tuscan Pearl (white), Liquid Onyx (black), Silver Indulgence (silver), Silver Graphite (dark silver), Serengeti Sand (light gold) and Lakeshore Slate (Blue).
