NISSAN Motor Ukraine has revealed plans to launch its luxury Infiniti brand into the Ukranian market at the end of next year.

It is the second country chosen for Infiniti expansion as the brand will be launched in Russia next year.

The company is currently sourcing Infiniti dealers with the first planned to open in the Kiev area. Sales of Infiniti originated in the United States in 1989, where it has become one of the fastest growing luxury brands in recent years.

Taiwan and the Middle East began selling Infiniti vehicles in the past few years, followed by Korea in August 2005.

Along with Ukraine, Infiniti will launch sales organisations in Russia, China and ultimately Japan.
