Articles on Infiniti

Infiniti is a sub-brand of the Japanese automaker Nissan with a focus on higher-end and luxury vehicles. Launched in 1989, Nissan originally sold upper-end models unavailable in the North American under the Infiniti brand into the US market. Soon afterwards, Infiniti received vehicles that were modified and refined from their base Nissan counterparts. More recently, Infiniti started making exclusive models marketed globally.

A key difference between Infiniti (and indeed other premium Japanese brands) and its European competitors is the notably narrower powertrain options. Like Lexus (by Toyota), and unlike Acura (by Honda), Infiniti is more commonly RWD.
