Dear Inniti Fans, We love you dearly. And we know you love the brand.

Which means it's only natural that you may feel surprised by the announcement that we plan to change our nomenclature philosophy. No one likes change. It was a tough decision, we like our current model names as much as you do. But we had no choice but to change. Let me explain. 1. We are embarking on a massive product offensive, and these new cars need names. There are no suitable combinations of Alphanumeric naming options remaining which are not already trademarked by another automaker. In order to expand our line up with the fascinating new models we are developing, we must create a more exible nomenclature philosophy. 2. Our new advanced technology engines under development will be smaller, lighter, more fuel efcient yet more powerful. And we will introduce some exhilarating performance machines in the future. I'm sure you will agree, it would be a bit odd to have a powerful, luxurious and rened V8 powered Inniti M56, then position a new high-tech 550+ horsepower performance agship for the Inniti M range above it, using a potent charged induction V6, but then call it Inniti M30, which we would be obliged to do, following our current naming logic. 3. Inniti is becoming a global brand now, we are already active in almost 50 countries, the majority only very recently. Our new customers are unfamiliar with the brand and struggle to understand our range hierarchy. Is a JX above or below an FX? Where does an EX t? What is the relationship between G and Inniti M? Research conrms the majority of newcomers to our brand consider the naming to be somewhat arbitrary and confusing. 4. Inniti owns the naming assets of Q plus double digit, and QX plus double digit. And it is a permanent part of our heritage. So the solution is pretty straightforward - use Q for cars, QX for crossovers, and double digits in increments of ten, to denote hierarchy, linked to the price point of the model, not size and not engine displacement. And no, we won't call all-wheel drive models Q50X or QX50X. The fact that a model may feature four wheel drive, will be indicated by specic badging describing this feature on the car, and is not part of the model name. The really exciting implication of all this, is that it prepares the way for the introduction of several fascinating new models, above and below the current line up, a wider range of powertrains, including some truly stunning performance cars in our future. So there is only good news for all Inniti fans around the globe. We are working very hard to bring you great products, a great brand and a compelling ownership experience. And we are really condent you will love the new Q50. It's simply that good.

Warmest regards Johan de Nysschen President Inniti Motor Company Limited
