Infiniti is a Japanese premium brand that launched in the UK in 2009. As Toyota has Lexus as its luxury car brand, so Nissan has Infiniti which began in North America, but in its global march for growth has now reached our shores.

The EX looks like a compact 4x4 in the mould of the BMW X3 and Audi Q5 but Infiniti hopes it will be chosen by people who have been used to coupés like the Audi TT and BMW 3-Series, but want to change into something more practical.
