Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said Infiniti will add four new models — three hybrid SUVs and a Skyline-based performance sedan — expanding the brand to seven models as it rebuilds.
Espinosa blamed past strategic errors, including a dedicated Infiniti architecture and Nissan's unrealistic eight-million sales target, which left the automaker unable to invest in the luxury brand.
Nissan said three of the new Infiniti models are SUVs — one mid-size and two ladder-frame designs — all hybrids, while the fourth is a rear-wheel-drive performance sedan with a twin-turbo V6 and manual gearbox based on the Nissan Skyline.
The new Infiniti vehicles will lean on Nissan platforms and shared powertrains under the Re:Nissan plan, which aims to cut Nissan's global platforms to seven by 2035 to boost efficiency.
