Infiniti Announces Entry Into Ukrainian Market

KIEV, Ukraine, October 14 --

- Ukraine Launch, Set for Late 2007, Continues Luxury Brand's Global Expansion

Nissan Motor Ukraine announced plans to launch its luxury Infiniti brand in the Ukrainian market, starting at the end of 2007. Ukraine is the second country selected for Infiniti expansion in Eastern Europe, following the entry into Russia in 2006.

Nissan Motor Ukraine, which was established in April 2005, is currently seeking Infiniti dealer candidates, with the first dealer appointment planned for the Kiev area. The independently owned and operated Infiniti dealers will offer complete services, including new and pre-owned vehicle sales, vehicle service and parts and accessories support.

Infiniti's entry into the Ukraine market is part of the global expansion of the brand set forth in Nissan's latest comprehensive three-year business plan, NISSAN Value-Up, which was announced in April 2005.

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 organizations in Russia, China and ultimately Japan.

Located in Kiev, Nissan Motor Ukraine's operations currently include Sales, Marketing and after sales activities through 9 official Nissan dealer outlets.
