Infiniti’s QX55 Production Delayed

Infiniti will delay the start of production of its upcoming QX55 by five months, the automaker told its supply chain.

The QX55 was to arrive in dealerships this summer as a coupe-like version of Infiniti’s QX50 compact crossover, with production beginning in June. But it will now start in November, suppliers were informed by Nissan North America’s manufacturing team in Aguascalientes, Mexico.

The letter vaguely referred to a need “to ensure production capability” at the plant.
