Infiniti continues to increase its presence on U.K. roads

Six months into 2016 and Infiniti continues to increase its presence on U.K. roads with new car registrations already exceeding the total recorded during the full 12-month period of 2015 and up 157 percent year on year. 

June proved to be a huge success in both Fleet and Retail sales with registrations climbing 447 percent compared to the same month last year, almost exceeding the full 2015 YTD (Year-to-date) volume in one month. Retail registrations alone were up 400 percent compared to June 2015. This rapid rise in registrations positions the Infiniti brand as one of the fastest growing automotive brands in the U.K. during the first six months of 2016.

Barry Beeston, Country Director for the U.K. commented, "Infiniti continues to drive forward in all areas of the business. With registrations increasing month on month in both fleet and retail sales, the network is currently benefiting from the continuous introduction of new models. The recent introduction of the two U.K. built products of the Q30 and QX30 is making a serious impact. Adding the stunning Q60 coupe, due later in the autumn, means this momentum is set to continue."

In town last month, we sat down with Roland Krueger, President of Infiniti Motor Company for a quick chat to better understand the Japanese brand's aspirations for the near future.
