Infiniti QX30 2018 breaks cover at Dubai Motor Show
Posted by Zaran Tarapore on Dec 6, 2017
Following in the footsteps of the Q30 that was unveiled in early 2015, the Infiniti QX30 offers much of the same luxury and practicality albeit, at a negligible increase in height. Sat four inches taller than the Q30, the QX30 shares its underpinnings with the Mercedes-Benz GLA, offering German engineering and technology neatly wrapped in a Japanese shell.

Aesthetically, there isn’t much to differentiate the butch QX30 from its Q30 sibling, apart from a raised stance, makeshift roof rails, a bold bumper garnish, and equally ostentatious rear diffuser. If you aren’t a fan of the elevated-hatchback styling that many manufacturers seem to be adopting, the QX30 is unlikely to tug at your heartstrings.
Powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder unit (borrowed from Mercedes-Benz), the Infiniti QX30 churns out 208 horsepower at 5,000 RPM and 350 Nm of torque from as low as 1,200 RPM. Directing its grunt through a 7-speed automatic transmission, the Japanese-German hatchback is capable of a top speed of 210 km/h and can accelerate to the 100 km/h mark in a smidgen over six seconds.
