Shanghai. February 1 (Gasgoo.com) - Nissan Infiniti plans to introduce three more models into China this year, including Infiniti M35, EX35 and G37, auto website cheshi.com reported today.
A company source said 1,500 Infiniti vehicles were sold out since Infiniti G35 and FX SUV were launched in Chinese market last July. Infiniti, however, is left far behind its rival Lexus, which has sold approximately 26,000 units last year.
Infiniti M35, an M series sedan showed at the Guangzhou Motor Show last year, was launched in Chinese market last December. It is priced between 548,000 yuan ($76,201) and 593,000 yuan ($82,460) in Chinese market.
Infiniti plans to display a small SUV EX35 in the 2008 Beijing Auto Show and launch the model soon after the show. Meanwhile, Infiniti G37, a luxury race car, will be launched in the second half of this year.
Infiniti hopes to gain a foothold in China's luxury car market through the launch of new models and gradually catch up with its rivals such as BMW, Lexus and Mercedes-Benz.
