Infiniti to create smaller, MB-powered crossover?

Partnerships are made to be broken. Or are they? Hopefully not for Daimler AG and Renault-Nissan, because there are rumors circulating that Infiniti is planning to cash in on a new DX CUV model that will take cues from the Mercedes-Benz A and B Classes.

These rumors were originally in French from the L’Automobile Magazine and should prove to be quite substantial since Renault is based in France.

Still, it’s a long shot for Nissan which is planning to bout with key players BMW X1 and Audi Q3, as well as Mercedes-Benz’s own C-Class Estate. These are still rumors, anyway, so there’s yet no reason to believe that Infiniti’s EX will be welcoming a new partner in its bid to save the brand in the crossover segment.

So if you happen to dissatisfied with the Infiniti EX, and wish the company would come up with an even smaller crossover that has Daimler’s engine under the hood, you’ll have to pray very hard for the rumors to hold true. Otherwise, you’ll be better off sticking to Mercedes-Benz, BMW or Audi. No benefit in losing your sleep over some hearsay information, no offense meant to L’Automobile Magazine. Just stay tuned for updates.
