Even though Nissan originally created Infiniti in 1989 to cater to the needs of North American consumers, the Japanese brand has since rapidly expanded its global network that currently includes 47 countries around the globe.
This year alone, Infiniti added Singapore, Chile, the Dominican Republic, South Africa and Australia to the list of countries it operates within, with Hong Kong to follow in early 2013.
And that’s no all, as on Saturday, Infiniti announced plans to begin sales in Brazil starting in 2014 with the opening of “Infiniti Centres” in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.
“As part of Infiniti’s worldwide expansion, Brazil is a logical addition to our footprint for premium car owners,” said Johan de Nysschen, President of Infiniti.
“By 2014, premium vehicles with a unique combination of inspired performance, attentive hospitality and unparalleled quality will become a reality for the Brazilian market. We are delighted to enter Brazil as we know discerning customers there are very receptive to premium brands,” he added.
Infiniti said it will launch in Brazil with the FX crossover, the seven-seater JX and an all-new sports sedan yet to be released that we believe to be the next G-series, which you can check out in detail here.
