Infiniti EV to get luxury image and performance

Executives of Infiniti are giving it all just to ensure that the luxury variant of the Nissan electric car Leaf will get the upscale treatment that the brand deserves.

INFINITIInfiniti officials reviewed the proposed designs when they visited the styling studio of Nissan in California and complained that the car presented to them looked like just another variant of the Leaf. Given that the United States will be the biggest market of the upcoming Infiniti model, the designers have made the necessary changes to give it a better styling and correct other problems that were pointed out.

The Vice President of Infiniti North America also went to Japan to see these designs and he assures the consumers that they can expect a unique and cool Infiniti product.

Nissan will start delivering the Leaf through their dealerships by December. The electric car will have a tag price of $25,000 after all the incentives you can get for buying an alternative-fuel car. The Infiniti counterpart has not yet announced when their electric car will go on sale though it might be two or three years from now.
