Infiniti

While Infiniti is the luxury division of the Japanese automaker Nissan, many of its vehicles are manufactured globally, including plants in Japan and the United States. For example, the Infiniti QX60 crossover is primarily assembled at the Nissan plant in Smyrna, Tennessee. They also have historical manufacturing ties to plants in the UK and Mexico.

No, Infiniti officially discontinued the Q60 sports coupe following the 2022 model year as part of a broader shift away from passenger cars to focus entirely on SUVs. The company decided to consolidate its resources to develop its next generation of crossover vehicles. This means the used market is now the only place to find a new-generation Q60.

Yes, Infiniti heavily utilizes Nissan's innovative Variable Compression Turbo (VC-Turbo) engine across its current lineup. This 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine can continuously alter its compression ratio to optimize either power output or fuel efficiency depending on driving conditions. It is the primary engine found in models like the QX50 crossover and the QX55.

Infiniti was officially launched in November 1989, initially targeting the premium North American automotive market to compete directly with Lexus and Acura. Its original lineup at launch consisted of just two models: the Q45 sedan and the M30 coupe. The brand was created to provide a luxury channel for Nissan's high-end vehicles in the United States.
