10 August 1998

Infiniti Announces 1999 I30 and QX4 Pricing; Pricing Remains Unchanged for Both Vehicles in the New Model Year
    CARSON, Calif., Aug. 7 -- Infiniti, the luxury division of
Nissan Motor Corporation U.S.A., today announced pricing for its 1999 I30
luxury sedan and QX4 luxury sport utility vehicle (LSUV).  Both models'
pricing remains unchanged for the new model year.
    The I30, which goes on sale in mid-August, has a Manufacturer's Suggested
Retail Price (MSRP) of $28,900.  In addition to the standard model, a touring
model is offered with an even higher level of luxury and performance and a
starting price of $31,200.  All models have numerous luxury features and
amenities, including an optional traction control system and an improved
appearance of the wood trim and faceplate for 1999.
    Introduced in 1996, the Infiniti QX4 has a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail
Price (MSRP) of $35,550 and goes on sale in mid-August.  The QX4 set a new
standard in the luxury sport utility vehicle segment with unabashed luxury,
exceptional on- and off-road performance and handsome styling.  In addition to
volume success in the competitive sport utility segment, QX4 was the highest
ranked sport utility vehicle for the past two years in the J.D. Power and
Associates 1998 Initial Quality Study.
    "During the past year, the I30 and QX4 were huge contributors to
Infiniti's overall sales success," said Tom Orbe, vice president and general
manager, Infiniti Division.  "We anticipate another fantastic year for the I30
and the QX4, along with the overall Infiniti model line."
    In addition to the I30 and QX4, Infiniti introduced the all-new G20 last
month, a posh, spirited sports sedan for the up-and-coming luxury buyer.
Infiniti also will be releasing pricing information on its Q45 flagship
vehicle later this fall.

supported by a network of more than 150 retailers.  Customer satisfaction has
always been a key component of Infiniti's commitment to customer service.
