April 13, 2015 by Infiniti

◾Record sales globally in Q1 2015

◾Growth in all regions

◾Q50 sports sedan with more than 50 percent increase

Hong Kong – Infiniti's growth strategy continues to deliver strong sales results. The company had another record quarter with worldwide sales of more than 52,000 vehicles for the first quarter of 2015. This is a year-on-year increase of 12 percent, making it the best quarter in Infiniti's sales history.

'These results are a strong proof point that Infiniti is on a successful growth path, establishing itself as one of the key premium brands globally. We have secured strong momentum and a strong foundation for the coming fiscal year,' said Roland Krüger, president of Infiniti Motor Company, Limited.

All four of the company's geographic regions achieved positive growth. In the U.S., Infiniti's biggest market, sales hit 33,800 vehicles, an increase of 8 percent compared to Q1 2014. In China, the brand's biggest growth market, almost 7,900 vehicles were sold, an increase of 28 percent from the same timeframe last year. In the EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) and Asia & Oceania regions, first-quarter sales increased 18 percent and 31 percent respectively to approximately 6,400 and 1,400 vehicles. In the highly competitive Western Europe market, Infiniti almost doubled its sales to more than 2,000 vehicles. This represents an increase of 92 percent and marks a new record for the region. Other regions, such as Mexico, South Africa and Australia, also achieved record sales for the quarter.

A successful product lineup keeps driving sustainable sales growth. The premium Q50 sports sedan – Infiniti's top selling model – enjoyed more than 50 percent growth from the same period last year and increased its volume in every region of the world. Q70 achieved over 50 percent growth in the Americas and China. QX80, which is one of Infiniti's top SUVs, saw 21 percent growth. In March, Infiniti launched a refreshed version of the QX50 in China. This vehicle has been presented at the recent New York auto show for the U.S. and will be introduced to other markets subsequently.

'We are pleased to see that Infiniti has made significant progress, transforming itself into a global premium automotive brand,' said Krüger. 'We are confident that we will achieve another year of strong performance.'
