The INFINITI brand is one that has been around since the late eighties and is massive in the United States of America.
INFINITI is to Nissan, what Lexus is to Toyota for ease of explanation, a brand within a large manufacturer that provides premium, luxury cars offering performance and agility.
Signature styling from INFINITI is incorporated across the extensive range which includes the large open front grill, the dramatic creases and lines along the side of the cars as well as the sleek headlamps which house LED daytime running lamps.
As the manufacturer responsible for several world-first technologies within the automotive industry such as hybrid systems, semi-autonomous driving and lane departure prevention systems along with direct adaptive steering, don’t be fooled into thinking INFINITI is a new kid on the block.
Far from it in fact and those into Formula 1 will be aware of the brand as INFINITI are a partner to Renault’s F1 efforts. Developing low-emission performance and building on hybrid systems such as the ERS Systems seen within the sport, such development making its way to the production road cars in time.
With all this in mind, think of INFINITI as a brand that is more than worth considering come time to change your vehicle and with Ireland’s only dealer, Mervyn Stewart INFINITI, just off Boucher Road in Belfast, there is no time like the present to check the range out.
