Infiniti Q30

Infiniti has recently announced its global sales of 16,900 vehicles in August, an increase of 19 percent over August 2014. This marks the best August in the company's history and Infiniti has now reached a 12-month streak of best individual months on record.

All four regions of Infiniti - including the Americas, China, EMEA (Europe, Middle East & Africa) and A&O (Asia and Oceania) - achieved positive growth from last year. The Americas and China, two of Infiniti's largest regions, both outperformed the previous year by double digits in August. China - along with other key markets including Canada, Mexico, Latin America, West Europe, South Africa and Australia - all achieved their best August sales ever.

Year to date, Infiniti sold more than 136,700 vehicles around the world, an increase of 14 percent over the same period the year before and a record for the first eight months of a year in the brand's history. All four regions recorded strong growth. China, EMEA, and A&O all reached record sales for the first eight-month history.

In the Americas (U.S., Canada, Mexico and Latin America), Infiniti's biggest sales region, the brand sold about 11,900 vehicles in August, up 16 percent from a year ago. Year to date, Infiniti Americas sold around 94,200 vehicles, an 11 percent year on year increase.

In China, Infiniti reached a record August by selling more than 3,000 vehicles in the month. This is an increase of more than 1,000 vehicles from August 2014, representing a year on year increase of 51 percent. In the eight months of 2015, Infiniti has sold more than 24,700 vehicles in China, a 35 percent increase over the same period last year; the company continues to significantly outperform the overall slowed down automotive market.

In the EMEA region, Infiniti sold about 1,500 vehicles in August - 3 percent up from the previous year despite the difficult economic and market situation in East Europe. In West Europe and Middle East, Infiniti continued its strong momentum by growing 19 percent and 17 percent respectively. Year to date, Infiniti sold approximately 14,300 vehicles in EMEA, an 8 percent increase year on year.
