The automobile company announced this on the official page of the Russian social network VKontakte.

“Acceptance of the situation is one of the main pillars of Japanese wisdom, as you know. Today we want to say Sayonara to you, which means "goodbye" in Japanese,” the company said in a statement published on one of the Russian social networks.

The company noted that the official warranty service of cars within the framework of current warranty obligations will be preserved.

It is known that Infiniti has decided to suspend the supply of new cars to Russia on March 9, 2022.
