Vehicles made by Nissan’s luxury brand, Infiniti, have become more popular than ever with European customers, which led to the company achieving its best ever sales result in the first half of 2016.
Compared to the same period last year, the Japanese manufacturer sold 9,535 units in Europe, up 177 percent, and in June alone, 1,586 customers went for an Infiniti, marking a 154 percent increase.
The most successful market was France, where 2,190 examples have been delivered so far, up 260 percent.
In the United Kingdom, Infiniti sold 1,565 units in the first six months of the year. It might not seem like a lot, but it’s a 157 percent increase over the first half of 2015, while in Italy, 1,119 cars found new homes and in Germany sales are up by 152 percent, with 1,208 units delivered.
“We are very proud of the sales achievements we have made in 2016 this far. The results highlight the trust that customers have in our vehicles. With the QX30 premium active crossover, the newly upgraded Q50 sports sedan and the all-new Q60 premium sports coupe to be launched later this year, we are confident to continue our success in Europe“, commented Infiniti’s EMEA VP, Francois Goupil de Bouille.
Across the competitive EMEA region (Europe, Middle East and Africa), the brand sold a total of 16,251 units, up 45 percent, while worldwide, more than 110,200 vehicle were delivered in the first half of 2016, representing a 7 percent increase.
