Infiniti faces uncertain future in Singapore

Quote

Infiniti, the luxury arm of Nissan, may be coming to the end of its road here again.

As part of rationalisation plans that started in 2019, Infiniti had stopped making right-hand-drive (RHD) models. It has also closed its regional headquarters in Hong Kong.

This means that when local distributor Wearnes Automotive runs out of existing stock and can no longer source for unsold RHD cars from other markets, it will have no more cars to sell.

According to Land Transport Authority statistics, 101 Infiniti cars were registered last year, down 38 per cent from 2019.

The number has dipped for the fourth consecutive year since the peak of 328 in 2016.

In January this year, only five Infiniti cars were registered.

The brand entered Singapore more than 20 years ago with Nissan agent Tan Chong Motor, but exited not long after without much success.

It returned with Wearnes Automotive in 2011 and had sold 1,543 cars up to the end of last year - around the average number that Toyota's luxury arm Lexus clocks in a year.

Wearnes?

My friend bought Q30 and he was quite happy with their service, both pre and post sale.

And they do price their cars to sell, so I thought it was good value.
