- New INFINITI models will offer electrified powertrains from 2021
- INFINITI will launch its first pure electric vehicle in the same year
- Electrified vehicles will comprise more than half of INFINITI global sales by 2025
DETROIT — INFINITI Motor Company will introduce new vehicles with electrified powertrains from 2021, said Nissan Chief Executive Officer Hiroto Saikawa, at the Automotive News World Congress today.
Customers can expect beautifully-designed vehicles, like the Q Inspiration concept shown in Detroit, with a whole new level of electrified driving performance as an evolution of INFINITI's current powertrains.
INFINITI will offer a mix of pure electric vehicles (EV) and e-POWER vehicles – demonstrating the full range of low emission vehicle technology available to INFINITI as the premium brand of Nissan Motor Company.
INFINITI's proprietary e-POWER technology features a small gasoline engine that charges a high-output battery, eliminating the need for an external charging source, providing the convenience of re-fueling with petrol, while offering the same driving experience as a pure EV.
As a result of this emphasis on low emission technology, INFINITI expects more than half its global sales to be comprised of electric vehicles by 2025.
