"the people are living in chongqing, the maintenance is done."
Maybe, you think it's in recognition of the convenience of the economic circle, promoting the slogans of the two families? But it's not. It's actually the owners of chongqing infinidi's cars, full of sour and helpless turds。
Earlier, a zhongqing car owner had published a post at a car forum: “the only zhongqing shop in infinidi 4s is running quietly, with all the empty telephone numbers. Call the official 400, send the service to chengdu for maintenance
Dude, there's a magic story like "over-the-post maintenance."。
But it's like a stone that's thrown into the blistering infinidi market in china, and it's full of speculations about the brand's “whether or not it's going to be quiet”. And what we're wondering is whether the infinidi operation is a precursor to a “silent departure” or a “silent struggle”
There's less than 30 shops across the country
Data show that, in 2018, infinidi owned 131 4s shops and 122 after-sales outlets in china, spread throughout the country's major cities. By the beginning of 2024, however, there were only 58 stores in the country, and even some dealers had to incorporate the infinidi model into the east wind and day fair。
In 2025, there were less than 40 functioning sites. As of the beginning of 2026, there were less than 30 4s shops in operation throughout the country。
From the sharp decline in the number of 4s stores in infinidi, it can be inferred that, similar to the closing of the only shop in chongqing, the owner was forced to cross the province in order to protect himself from fear, but that there is a high probability that it is already taking place in several cities across the country。
Why did the dealers drop out? In the end, there is no money. New vehicles are not sold and are then sold in the face of a decline in brand reputation, which results in a sharp decline in income after the sale of the vehicles once the warranty period has passed. This led to a vicious circle of “downs in sales – downslides in distributors – downshrunk in services” – becoming tighter and tighter as a curse。
This is also confirmed by specific sales patterns. At the peak of 2017, the annual sales of infinidi were as high as 484,000 vehicles, with an infinite amount of wind. Who would have thought that, after a few short years, it would have slipped down to only 1386 in 2025. On average, more than 200 municipalities in more than 330 municipalities throughout the country were unable to sell a car for a full month。
Even the business of chengdu finnedi 4s, the owner of chongqing's “inter-provincial maintenance” recommended by the guest service, is in no better condition. During our previous visits, it was observed that the shop was cold and that customer rest areas were often empty and no one came to the door。
Perhaps the idea of recommending the owner of the chongqing car to chengdu has also been motivated by the idea of leading the chengdu store. Once chengdu's door shop can't run on its own, where will the customer service be recommended to the owner
A few years ago, infinidi was heavily funded for "where's daddy?" now, it needs to think, perhaps, about where the owner goes and what he sells。
And why is that
From a short period of light in china to what is known as a “life-deficit”, why is infinidi in the chinese market as far as it is today? The answer is clear. Because of infinidi's presence in the chinese market, there are “three crimes”, including but not limited to the following。
The “first crime” is the lack of strength of the product。
(丨) since 2015, after more than a decade of incomplete transitions, the market has been dealt with only by “shell-replacement + fine-tuning” and the production capacity has been seriously lagging. When the competition was dynamically smart and electricized, it remained in place for fuel vehicle positions. Of course, it is not too much of a problem with holding on to fuel positions, but the problem is that you are doing what you deserve in the breakdown. In other words, you need to give consumers a firm reason to choose you。
Moreover, the driver's aid system on board is a three-year-old technology which, compared to the new power, is like “older people holding smartphones”, which is poorly operated and experienced. It's just that you can't do it on the smart track
In addition to the lack of capacity, the problem of quality is worse. In 2021, the shortcomings of the qx60 gearbox, which was exposed to the 3/15 evenings, led to widespread concern about the rights of the owner being asked to sign confidentiality agreements. This would be tantamount to self-destructing the brand's credibility on the ground。
The second crime is a slow transition like a snail。
An electric platform was announced in 2018, with the planned introduction of the first pure tram in 2021, and as a result, no decent new energy product has landed over the years。
When the other luxury brands are moving at full speed on the electric track, how can it not be left behind when it's tied to the starting line? Today, china’s new energy market is at the top of its 500 million-grade sales list, with its monthly sale of 30,000, and its quarterly delivery doubling, while infinidi is completely out of place on the electrodynamic map, neither knowing the current state of china’s car market nor exploring the country’s consumption needs, nor exploring the country’s consumption needs, is typical of the voluntary abandonment of the future。
“the third crime” is that it is always “seeking itself”。
Fuzzy branding and lack of sharp labels are the biggest problem in infinidi. The fact that there is no “luxurious” name, but that there is no luxuriousness anywhere, is an important reason why it is difficult to impress its people。
By contrast, the lord of lexus, who had been a second-line luxurious camp, had mixed up with reliability, the cadillac had emphasized performance, volvo had secured security, and the consumer could think of the core selling point as soon as he nominated it. And what about infinidi? Say it's luxurious, less than bba; talk sports, less than bmw; talk comfort, less than lexus. Consumers find no reason to “must buy” and have long been marginalized in the car purchase list。
Even though infinidi has never made a statement about leaving the chinese market, which is more terrible than the announcement, isn't it a “silent exit”
So, is infinity really leaving silently? It is difficult to conclude. After all, brands are still struggling. The news that q60 fuel was to be resurrected, although it was a minor move, had not yet been completely abandoned. At the same time, japanese production groups would not easily abandon this key vehicle that hit high-end markets。
It is undeniable, however, that the situation of infinidi is already extremely dangerous. It may be only a matter of time before good will is forthcoming to accelerate the transformation of electric power, introduce new and truly competitive products, rebuild after-sales service systems and restore brand trust。
Chongqing's inter-provincial maintenance was no doubt a loud wake-up call to wake up infinidi and remind every potential consumer: now choose this brand, or similar car brand, to think twice. Once the brand is out of the market, where do we get after the sale
