An age-old craft inspires an extraordinary new experience

Uncover the story behind the burgundy interior of the all-new INFINITI QX80 with Megumi Mitsui

Benibana is the Japanese art of flower dyeing. Going back centuries, artists used the florets of safflower plants to create a wide range of hues used to dye fabrics, woodblock prints and more.

One of the earliest believed uses of benibana goes back to the Nara period in Japan from 710 to 784 when it was used in works of art featuring flowers and birds.

INFINITI color and trim designer Megumi Mitsui took the warmth of Benibana red and combined it with deep burgundy to compliment the black leather inside the all-new INFINITI QX80.

Mitsui designs interiors so when someone enters the cabin, they feel renewed. Using the finest materials and drawing inspiration from traditional Japanese crafts, she helped craft a cabin that's visually stunning, rewards the senses and creates a place of sanctuary.

Dear Nissan Motor Corporation I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the performance of the Nissan car I purchased from your dealership in India. I am extremely disappointed that the engine of my new car has broken down within just two years of purchase due to overheating. As a loyal customer of Nissan, I had high expectations for the quality and reliability of the vehicle. However, it is disheartening to experience such a major issue with the car's engine at such an early stage. This unexpected breakdown has caused me significant inconvenience and financial burden. I urge you to thoroughly investigate this matter and take appropriate action to rectify the situation. I expect a prompt and satisfactory resolution, which may include repair or replacement of the engine at no cost to me. Additionally, I hope that Nissan will take proactive steps to prevent similar issues from occurring in the future. I trust that Nissan values its customers and their satisfaction, and I look forward to a swift and positive response to this complaint. Regards Vishal Gupta

I am a loyal customer with Nissan for the past 15 years, unfortunately, this week I had very bad experience with your customer service to extend my lease and will end my loyalty with Nissan after the poor customer services.
