Back in April we got a first glimpse of the luxury JX crossover concept via a flowing, yet blurry side view illustration. There was also word that the new Infiniti concept would be bigger than both the FX and EX35, and would contain a third row of seating, bringing it closer in size to the big daddy QX56. The upcoming crossover also hinted strongly at the design language used in the Essence concept seen back at the 2009 Geneva show.

Three months later (July 8), another JX image appeared. This time, Infiniti provided much more defined lines, revealing a headlight and a very low, nearly three-quarter shot, further hinting at the 7-passenger capability of JX as well as a more muscular design. The news this time around was that Infiniti would periodically reveal a new JX teaser shot on their Facebook page until the concepts official unveil on August 18 at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.

Third Infiniti JX Crossover Concept Teaser
Now, we have what may be the most interesting teaser yet, which gives a first look at portions of the drivers side and D-pillar. Take note of the resemblance to the bent lines at the rear from the Infiniti Etherea Concept seen at the 2011 Geneva show.

One wonders if the slow, yet consistent hype has the makers of the Audi Q7, Cadillac Escalade and Mercedes-Benz R-Class looking over their shoulder. Only time will tell. Look for the production version of the JX at the upcoming Los Angeles show in November, with a 2013 model expected to hit dealerships in the Spring of 2012.
