After a months-long makeover this year at a car dealership on the outskirts of Shanghai, the models of Japanese luxury marque Infiniti, part of Nissan, are gone from the forecourt.
Taking their place inside a sleek new showroom are sedans and sport utility vehicles produced by Zeekr, a premium electric vehicle sub-brand of Chinese carmaking conglomerate Geely.
The new Shanghai outlet is the second to be converted into a “Zeekr House” in the past year by Yongda Auto, China’s fourth-largest dealer chain by revenue. The other facility, located in the eastern city of Changzhou, previously distributed cars under the Roewe brand created in 2006 from the ruins of British carmaker MG Rover.
