Highlighting the importance of the China automotive market, INFINITI Motor Company, Ltd. announced today it will build five new vehicles in China in the next five years, beginning with the all-new QX50 SUV. The announcement comes ahead of the Beijing International Motor Show.
In Beijing, INFINITI will unveil its all-new INFINITI QX50 midsize luxury crossover for the first time in Asia. Local production of the QX50 will begin ramping up shortly at the company’s manufacturing facility in Dalian, China. The QX50 midsize luxury crossovers built in China will be sold exclusively to the China market and will be available for purchase later this year.
