Infiniti Among UK's Fastest Growing Automakers After Bump In Registrations

Posted: 06 Jul 2016 03:35 PM PDT



Infiniti's rise to become a serious alternative to key German brands has been aided by a jump in registrations across the United Kingdom.

In the first six months of 2016 alone, the automaker has seen more of its cars registered than it did in all of 2015, representing a 157 per cent year on year increase.

These heightened registration numbers were shared amongst fleet and retail sales with June proving exceedingly important, after experience a 447 per cent bump over the same month in 2015.

While specific sales, delivery or registration figures have yet to be released by the firm, it claims that it is one of the fastest growing automaker's this year in the UK, with the company's country director Barry Beeston pinpointing the new Q30 and QX30 as key drivers behind the increase.

"Infiniti continues to drive forward in all areas of the business. With registrations increasing month on month in both fleet and retail sales, the network is currently benefiting from the continuous introduction of new models. The recent introduction of the two UK built products of the Q30 and QX30 is making a serious impact. Adding the stunning Q60 coupe, due later in the autumn, means this momentum is set to continue," Beeston confirmed.
