INFINITI TO GO ELECTRIC FROM 2021

February 12, 2018

Electric car technology has really started to take off over the past decade or two, and there are now more hybrids and electric vehicles on the road today than ever before. Still, this trend seems likely to continue in the coming years as most automotive manufacturers continue to expand their lineup of fuel-efficient electric vehicles. That being said, INFINITI recently announced that it plans to take things even further by transitioning over to an all-electric lineup starting in 2021.
INFINITI’s Electric Announcement

In mid-January 2018, INFINITI surprised the automotive world by announcing that, from 2021 on, all of its new vehicles would be electric. While some people took this to mean that the company would only produce electric cars after 2021, what the company actually stated is that all new models released in 2021 and onwards will feature an electric drivetrain. Nonetheless, this does not necessarily mean that the entire INFINITI lineup will be electric, as some older models will likely continue to be available with a gasoline-only engine for at least a few years.

Drivers looking for a fully electric vehicle should be able to get their hands on INFINITI’s first all-electric model sometime in 2021. In addition, the company plans on releasing a range of new gasoline-electric hybrid and plug-in hybrid models. This promises to be fantastic news for INFINITI fans concerned primarily with fuel efficiency and environmental friendliness, as the 2021 INFINITI lineup promises to break new ground in these all-important areas.

The fact that the automotive industry seems to be quickly moving towards electric vehicles and away from gasoline-only engines means that we’re likely to see many more manufacturers follow suit in the coming years. Nonetheless, INFINITI is once again ahead of the curve and seems set to capitalize on the growing demand for electric vehicles in a huge way. In fact, the Japanese manufacturer estimates that approximately 50 percent of its total sales will come from electric vehicles by the year 2025.

Although it will still be a few years before INFINITI finally makes the transition to its new electric lineup, this doesn’t mean that you need to wait to get your hands on a fuel-efficient electric INFINITI vehicle. In fact, the 2018 INFINITI lineup already features several outstanding hybrid models, such as the QX60, Q50 and Q70.
