Hong Kong – Infiniti continued its unprecedented sales momentum in February when it sold 16,600 vehicles globally, an increase of 0.2 percent over February 2015. This was the best February result for Infiniti globally as well as the 18th consecutive month with year-on-year growth. Year-to-date, Infiniti sold more than 32,250 vehicles, up 1 percent year over year, and another new record for the company.

February represented the best-ever month in history for Infiniti in Western Europe. In addition, it was the best-ever February in key regions and markets including China, Middle East, Canada, Mexico, A&O (Asia & Oceania) and Korea. Year to date, key markets – including China, Western Europe, Canada and A&O – all achieved double-digit growth.

In China, Infiniti sold more than 2,200 vehicles in February, up 16 percent from the same month last year. It marked the 26th consecutive month with year-over-year growth in China. So far this year, Infiniti sold more than 5,800 vehicles in China, an increase of 28 percent.

In the Americas (U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Latin America), Infiniti sold more than 11,400 vehicles in February, down 9 percent year over year. During the first two months of the year, approximately 21,000 vehicles were sold, a decrease of 9 percent due to model year change over. However, Infiniti achieved its best February year-to-date sales in Canada, Mexico and Latin America.
