The Infiniti Q30 has gone into production at the company's Sunderland plant in the United Kingdom, following a more than $375 million investment that has created 300 new jobs.
Infiniti's first compact model, the Q30, is also the brand's first vehicle to be manufactured in Europe. As part of its global growth plan, Infiniti vehicles are now built in five plants in four countries on three continents.
"To prepare for Q30 production, we invested 250 million pounds here in the UK. This is creating more than 1,000 new jobs in the UK automotive industry. Q30 production is further strengthening our premium vehicle manufacturing capability in Sunderland, and exports to global markets such as China and North America signal the next phase in the expansion of Infiniti and a new chapter for our UK plant," said Trevor Mann, Chief Performance Officer of Nissan Motor Corporation.
"The Q30 comes at a moment of significant opportunity for Infiniti," said Roland Krueger, president of Infiniti Motor Company. "Following a period of record global sales, we are entering a new segment with the Q30. This new active compact will play a vital role in our strategy to become a top tier global premium brand."
