info Brand Overview
Infiniti — Nissan Motor Co.'s premium arm, founded in 1989 to enter the American luxury car market. This is Japan's answer to German premium: Nissan engineering base + Mercedes/BMW-level trim + 30-40% lower price. 17.4 thousand unique Infiniti vehicles are registered in Ukraine — a small but very devoted owner clan.
The Ukrainian Infiniti fleet is almost exclusively grey-imported from USA, Canada, and UAE. The official dealership left Ukraine in 2019, so 97.7% of cars are used. FX (19.6%) — the cult "shark-nose" SUV with V6 3.5/3.7 or V8 5.0. Q50 (15.2%) — compact business sedan, direct rival to BMW 3-Series. QX50 (13.6%) and QX60 (12.6%) — family crossovers. Together the top 4 form 61% of all Infiniti in Ukraine.
trending_up Registration Dynamics 2018-2025
Infiniti shows steady but small dynamics: 1.4-3.2 thousand registrations per year. Peak — 2021 (3,189 cars) during active customs clearance of euro-plates and US imports. In 2022 there was a decline to 1,387 due to the war, but already in 2023-2024 the market recovered to 2.1-2.6 thousand. Infiniti is a niche brand for enthusiasts, so no mass growth is expected.
