Some passengers can expect a snug fit in their seats. Not only is the interior smartly designed, it’s packed with high-quality materials. That interior element provides a notable contrast to more austere, down-to-business cabins in rival German models. Immediately, the observer’s eye is drawn to an asymmetrical sweep across the QX30’s dashboard. Nicely executed, the overall shape is undeniably Infiniti. Ride height is a bit taller in the AWD model. Except for QX30S models, which ride a half-inch lower, the suspension is a bit more elevated than in ordinary hatchbacks. An elevated stance distracts from the QX30’s upright hatchback silhouette. Sharp accent lines within each door taper inward, suggesting a three-dimensional shape that emphasizes the QX30’s horizontal proportions. The result is a profile unlike any competitive model. The comparatively short, low greenhouse features Infiniti’s familiar reverse-crescent C-pillar, leading to an abbreviated rear end that contains a steeply-sloped window. Starting with a long, angular nose, the body flows rearward, encompassing swollen fenders that surround huge wheel wells. Elements of French and Japanese influence are evident. Infiniti’s latest design language, highlighted on the QX30, consists of sharp angles and sweeping curves. Gallery White trims white upholstery with red details. Cafe Teak features black stitching with brown/black upholstery. City Black couples black upholstery with purple stitching. Optional designer packages can customize the QX30 interior. Sport seats with eight-way power adjustment and lumbar support will be available. Styling touches include unique front and rear fascias a glossy black grille leather-wrapped, flat-bottomed steering wheel and aluminum pedals and footrests. QX30S raises the sport-performance ante with 19-inch wheels and a lower ride height. Front/rear valance panels are said to be inspired by off-roading. QX30 AWD adds all-wheel drive, with slightly taller ride height. Black cloth upholstery is standard, with Nappa leather optional. The 2017 QX30 comes standard with front-wheel drive and includes InTouch infotainment, as well as 18-inch wheels. The available surround-view camera system includes moving-object detection. Available Park Assist can guide the QX30 into an open parking space. They include blind-spot monitoring, forward collision warning with emergency braking assist, automatic high beams, and adaptive cruise control. InTouch infotainment features intuitive finger-touch and swipe controls, via a seven-inch touchscreen.Ĭrash-test results have not yet been issued, but safety takes precedence and the QX30 may be equipped with a number of active-safety and driver-assist features. Voice recognition controls audio and navigation commands. Dramatic exterior design, on the other hand, places a limit on space within the asymmetrically shaped cabin. Seats are said to be engineered to match the curvature of the human spine, thus minimizing pressure on the back muscles by more equal distribution of the load. In terms of seat design, Infiniti touts the use of spinal support research. Infiniti claims that QX30 styling defies the customary vehicle categorization, occupying a segment between premium compact and larger crossover models. The all-wheel-drive edition features raised ride height, as well as unique body panels that impart a modest sense of ruggedness. Three trim levels will be offered: base QX30, sportier QX30S, and QX30 AWD. On the AWD model, an intelligent all-wheel-drive system can transmit up to half of engine power to the rear wheels, whenever sensors detect traction loss. American versions of the QX30 get a single powertrain: a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that develops 208 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, coupled to an automated 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Nissan’s premium division clearly wishes to become a major luxury-market player in Europe and other global regions.Īiming at worldwide sales, crossovers for international markets will be offered with a variety of engines and transmissions. The internationally focused design theme signals a new product direction for the Infiniti brand. Some observers have noted a significant resemblance to the compact Mazda3 hatchback, but the QX30 has a look all its own. Joining a highly competitive market segment, the 2017 Infiniti QX30 goes against such well-executed rivals as the BMW X1, as well as the GLA250 itself. The QX30 shares its platform and powertrain with the recently launched Mercedes-Benz GLA250. The Infiniti QX30 is a new luxury compact crossover designed to convey a sense of what might be termed elegant aggression.
