Nissan Motor Co.’s Infiniti arm plans to launch a platform for electrified vehicles based on the stylish Q Inspiration concept car it unveiled in January at the Detroit auto show.
The architecture will be scalable to support Infiniti’s full range of body types, starting with a sedan in 2023. Infiniti plans to build that model in China.
