Infiniti Sales Data, Trends, Analysis & Current Lineup for the U.S Automotive Market
This is your hub for all of the Infiniti sales data for the U.S market. Infiniti is the premium brand of Nissan, like Lexus is to Toyota and Acura to Honda. Infiniti still lags both its competitors in the highly competitive American luxury car market, and had been catching up quickly thanks to striking design, but its rise has stumbled in recent years as the QX30 compact crossover has failed and its sedans are getting long in the tooth. Infiniti appears to be aiming for an image of a bold challenger brand, although it also seems to have lost some of its mojo when CEO Johan De Nysschen defected to Cadillac.
After his departure, plans for the Nissan GT-R powered Q50 Eau Rouge halo car were ditched. The all-new Q60 coupe was meant to boost the brand’s sporty image again, especially the top-of-the line twin-turbo, 400hp Red Sport version, but it logically remains a low-volume model.
The start of Infiniti in North America, particularly in the US, is slow. Its sales is lagging behind the Acura (Honda’s luxury brand) and Lexus (Toyota’s luxury brand). It was only in 2000s that Infiniti started to gain ground against other luxury brands in the US when they introduced the Infiniti G35, a mid-size sedan. Today, Infiniti’s lineup includes the Q50, Q60, QX50, QX60, and QX80. Their current models ranges from luxury coupes to SUVs. Regardless of the model, you will always find that all of Infiniti’s vehicles are focused on luxury, sport, quality and value.
Infiniti produces the QX60 in Nissan’s Smyrna, TN factory and the second generation of the QX50 crossover is produced in a factory shared with Mercedes-Benz in Aguascalientes, Mexico. Its other models for the US market are imported from its factories in Japan. The Infiniti Q50 midsized car has been the best selling sedan for the brand in the United States, while the QX60 large crossover is Infiniti’s best selling model overall.
Infiniti U.S Sales Figures & Recent Highlights
Sales of Infiniti in US has been hugely positive over the last few years. In fact in 2017, the brand has a record year after selling 153,415 in the US. Even though Infiniti markets their cars worldwide, the United States is still their biggest market. Infiniti has also announced recently that they would be shifting to electric vehicles. They claimed that all their new cars will be a hybrid or an electric vehicle by 2021. This should help increase the brand’s sales figures in the US since more and more American people are interested in electric vehicles.
