IMPORTANT EVENTS IN THE HISTORY OF INFINITI

The Beginning of Infiniti

Infiniti was formally introduced by Nissan in North America in 1989. Since Nissan’s mainstream image meant its luxury cars could not be taken seriously, Infiniti was introduced as a separate sub division to export luxury and expensive cars to the United States. Initially, two models were launched, the M30 and the Q45. Each of these vehicles improved upon existing Nissan technologies and offered innovative features like shorter wheelbase platforms. Not only were these vehicles visually appealing, but they housed powerful engines with four wheel steering and an active suspension system, which was unheard of in the case of Nissan. Considering its features, the Q45 and the M30 proved to be incredibly competitive against top-notch automotive manufacturers like Jaguar, BMW, Cadillac, and even Mercedes.
