Japanese automaker Infiniti has decided the Chinese market is the ideal place to grow, as the Nissan sub-brand has decided to build two yet unnamed models locally via Nissan’s joint venture with Dongfeng Motors Company.
"The expansion of the Infiniti business is a key pillar of the Nissan Power 88 mid-term plan," said Andy Palmer, Executive Vice President of Infiniti.

"This is an important milestone for Infiniti's growth strategy, and for the brand to reach its aggressive sales target of 500,000 units by 2016, local production in the world's largest automobile market is not an option but a necessity to our success.”

Carscoop hints at the new JX seven-seat crossover as being one of the two vehicles, as Chinese media was invited to test in in America this month. The other could be the Infiniti M, as Chinese are keen on buying these sorts of big luxury sedans.
