The all-new 2017 Infiniti QX30, which was created for a new generation of premium buyers who appreciate category-defying design inside and out, boasts a purposeful appearance that makes a bold visual statement as part of Infiniti’s premium model line-up. Remaining true to the powerful and elegant design cues that guided the original QX30 Concept, the car’s highly sculpted exterior, unique crossover stance and asymmetric cabin design exemplify Infiniti’s design-led approach to product development.
In addition to its striking appearance, the QX30 offers confidence-inspiring handling and an available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system. As a result, the QX30 is ideal to take on urban, suburban and winding rural roads in all driving conditions.
Standard exterior features include signature LED daytime running lights and auto on/off halogen headlights, with available LED headlights with Active Front lighting System (AFS) and auto high/low beam function and LED fog lights. In addition to the standard auto-dimming (driver’s side), power-folding and heated outside mirrors with puddle lamps, a variety of treatments for the outside mirror housings (body-color, black, Satin Silver) are available to provide a more personalized appearance. A panoramic moonroof with power sunshade and roof rails are also offered.
The Infiniti QX30 Sport includes unique front and rear lower fascias, gloss black grille, body-color side sill panels, chrome trunk finisher, dark chrome exhaust finishers, a lower ride height, sport suspension tuning, cross drilled front brake rotors and unique 19-inch aluminium-alloy wheels.
The QX30 Luxury AWD and QX30 Premium AWD also include unique front and rear lower fascias, extended overfenders, unique black mold-in color side sills, roof rails, unique 18-inch aluminium-alloy wheels and a 1.2-inch higher ride height than QX30 two-wheel drive.
Versatility is also an apt descriptor for the new QX30’s advanced powertrain, which delivers a confidence-inspiring, dynamic driving experience aided by available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive.
The standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged unit is rated at 208 horsepower at 5,500 rpm, with peak torque of 258 lb-ft available from 1,200 – 4,400 rpm. This engine has been engineered to blend responsive performance with enhanced fuel efficiency. It features a lightweight aluminum block and cylinder head with chain-driven dual-overhead camshafts, die-cast aluminum cylinder crankcase and optimized crank assembly, resulting in further weight savings, reduced friction and improved efficiency. The QX30 also includes an idle stop-start system (ISS) in combination with the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The engine was developed in conjunction with Daimler and is sourced from Kolleda, Germany.
All 2017 QX30 models feature a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission system. The dual-clutch intelligently pre-selects gears so the next shift is always ready to go, while manual mode lets the driver control gear changes when desired. Delivering seamless acceleration at any speed and in any gear, the application of torque is almost uninterrupted during gear changes, reducing lurching while in motion and between shifts. Paddle shifters are standard.
The Infiniti QX30 is offered in a choice of nine exterior colors: Black Obsidian, Blade Silver, Chestnut Bronze, Graphite Shadow, Ink Blue, Liquid Copper, Magnetic Red, Majestic White and Malbec Black.
