Nissan Infiniti to triple dealerships in China by 2008

Shanghai. November 29 (Gasgoo.com) - Nissan Infiniti plans to open six franchised dealers by the end of this year and aims to increase the number to fifteen by 2008, a senior company official told Shanghai Securities News.

 

"We opened the first franchised dealer in China at Shanghai Yongda in July, but we are determined to expand our business and will have fifteen dealers by the end of next year," said Yasuaki Hashimoto, Corporate Vice President of Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.

 

"The operation in China is crucial to Infiniti's global expansion and the smooth implementation of Nissan Value-Up, and we promise to introduce more Infiniti models to China in the future," said Hashimoto.

 

Infiniti M35 has made its China debut at the Guangzhou Motor Show this month; in August the automaker launched the Infiniti G35 and FX SUV in the Chinese market.

 

Though BMW and Mercedes-Benz has gained a foothold in China's luxury car market, Infiniti has many strong advantages over its competitors in terms of performance and driving experience. The brand currently offers a full portfolio of luxury performance automobiles, including the G sports coupe and sedan, M luxury performance sedan, FX premium crossover SUV, QX full-size luxury SUV, and the EX personal luxury crossover, which will go on sale in December.
