INFINITI To Build Five New Models In China And Electrify Its Portfolio

“Over the next five years INFINITI is planning to localize five new vehicles in China, tripling our sales here in our fastest growth market, globally. As part of our roadmap to electrify our portfolio, we anticipate that by 2025, more than 50% of new INFINITI vehicles sold globally and in China will be electrified. Together with our partner Dongfeng Motor Company Ltd., INFINITI is pursuing localization in China for China, expanding our network footprint and introducing new technologies, such as our world’s first variable compression engine (VC-Turbo), and vehicle electrification, such as e-POWER. We will continue to strive to make INFINITI the top premium challenger brand in the market.” -

In Beijing, INFINITI will unveil its all-new INFINITI QX50 premium SUV for the first time in Asia. Local production of the QX50 will begin ramping up shortly at the company’s manufacturing facility in Dalian, China. The QX50 SUVs built in China will be sold exclusively to the China market and will be available for purchase later this year.

In addition to the new QX50, the stylish and innovative INFINITI Q Inspiration concept car will also make its Asia debut. Representing the next step in INFINITI design and electrification, the Q Inspiration features clear and concise lines with dynamic and confident proportions. It is the first manifestation of INFINITI’s new form language for an era of electrified powertrains.

“The Q Inspiration concept car takes the traditional sedan architecture to its next stage of evolution. A shift towards smarter, more compact and less intrusive powertrains; We were able to create an alternative form with flowing gestures, more engaging in character and more enriching in experience. With its long cabin, balanced proportions and muscular stance, the concept heralds in a new era for INFINITI models.” -
