You love INFINITI vehicles, but did you know that they have a fascinating and storied history? The automaker, which grew out of the Nissan brand, was designed to be a luxury line for those with discerning taste. Now, they are known for their amazing features and performance-based specs.
In 1989, Nissan decided to launch a new upscale class of cars to the American market. Other manufacturers, like Honda with its Acura brand, had found some success in doing so. Little did anyone know, INFINITI would soon be the ultimate in luxury lines.
The first vehicles that hit dealerships in the U.S.A. were the Q45 and the M30. The former was based on the Nissan President model, popular at the time in Japan. It boasted a V8 engine and plenty of high-end amenities. The latter was a luxury sport coupe that could provide 162 horsepower.
Today, of course, the INFINITI lineup is filled with amazing choices that consistently delight drivers the world over. For instance, the 2018 QX30 is a comfortable and sporty crossover, with heated leather seats and speed-sensing steering. It’s sure to impress!
Stop by INFINITI of Tacoma the next time you’re in the Kent, Washington, area and take a test drive!
