After studying the possibility of using a third-party to build its new compact model, Infiniti has decided to build the vehicle in-house in a European plant. The new Infiniti compact model will launch in 2015.
Infiniti began a feasibility study with supplier Magna Steyr in May this year to determine a possible third-party production site in Europe for the premium compact Infiniti. However, Infiniti has decided to produce the vehicle in-house as part of the brand’s overall expansion production plans.
Although Infiniti intends to produce the new compact itself, the all-new compact vehicle will share its platform with Mercedes-Benz.
