Stunningly Original, Úndeniably INFINITIThe QX30 premium active crossover was created for a new generation of premium buyers seeking a vehicle as versatile as their lifestyles. Its mix of artistry in the flowing lines and power in the elevated stance and confident look makes a bold visual statement and challenges current preconceptions of what a crossover should look like. The combination of a low-slung roofline, high stance and crossover appearance creates a striking visual impact with a go-anywhere attitude, ready to take on all driving conditions.The QX30 exterior is characterized by dramatic curves and turbulent, sculpted character lines that make an emotional statement, evolving them into new dynamic shapes for a more purposeful appearance. The double-arch grille with three-dimensional mesh draws a flowing, fluid link to the headlights for a more organic shape. The lines of the QX30 flow up the double-wave aluminium hood, over the fenders, across the bodyline and into the strong shoulders of the car.The overall effect is designed to look stretched over bone and muscle, rather than the straight 'mechanical' lines seen on rival models. INFINITI's signature C-pillar design forges a dynamic crescent shape that emphasizes motion, even when stationary.The elevated dimensions make for a confident and relaxing drive, while ascribing to the QX30's versatile character. The tall overall height helps improve the forward view, aided by a slim A-pillar design, while the taller ride height allows for a higher hip point, improving ease of ingress and egress.Standard exterior features include signature LED daytime running lights and auto on/off halogen headlights, with available LED headlights with Active Front lighting System 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) is available to provide a more personalized appearance. A panoramic moonroof with power sunshade and roof rails are also offered.The 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 Gun Metallic aluminium-alloy wheels.The QX30 Luxury AWD and QX30 Premium AWD include unique front and rear lower fascias, extended overfenders, unique black mold-in color side sills, roof rails, unique 18-inch machine finished aluminium-alloy wheels and a 1.2-inch higher ride height than QX30 FWD.The 2018 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.
Inside, living in asymmetry and comfort
The bold INFINITI design approach continues inside the stunning QX30, challenging traditional standards of symmetry with its expressive, modern and dynamic interior.
A versatile attitude and drivetrain
The 2018 QX30's advanced powertrain 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 in combination with the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The engine was developed in conjunction with Daimler and is sourced from Kolleda, Germany.All 2018 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 QX30's chassis was developed to offer a comfortable and confident ride for both two-wheel and all-wheel drive models. Development teams responsible for QX30's ride and handling worked hard to ensure the car's dynamic characteristics met buyers' expectations of a vehicle that has been engineered to bridge the gap between compacts and crossovers.The front suspension is a MacPherson strut design with twin-tube shock absorbers, while the rear utilizes independent multi-link with rear monotube shocks. Stabilizer bars are used in both the front and rear.Steering is provided by an Electric Power Assisted system and braking is a power-assisted 4-wheel disc design with Anti-lock Braking System. QX30 Sport uses cross-drilled front rotors and INFINITI-branded calipers.The QX30 Luxury AWD and QX30 Premium AWD models come equipped with an INFINITI's Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system. The drivetrain is able to send up to 50 percent of the engine's power and torque to the rear axle to maintain traction on slippery surfaces and in inclement weather, enhancing a feeling of control and confidence when driving. For example, if wheel slip is detected by sensors, braking is applied to the slipping wheel, while torque is sent to the gripping wheel for additional stability.
Intuitive technologies enhance an engaging, safe driving experience
The 2018 QX30 offers a range of active safety and hazard avoidance technologies that enhances the driving experience.The QX30 Sport features the Intelligent Park Assist system, which uses 12 sensors to determine if a potential parking spot is the right size. If it is, the driver simply presses a button to confirm and operate the accelerator, shifter and brake pedal. The QX30 will park itself smoothly in parallel or reverse-in parking spots*. Intelligent Park Assist is also available on all other QX30 models as part of the optional Technology Package.Other available QX30 safety, security and driver's assistance features include Blind Spot Warning, Lane Departure Warning and Forward Emergency Braking.The QX30 also includes dual-stage front supplemental air bags, front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air bags, front knee supplemental air bags and roof-mounted curtain side-impact supplemental air bags with rollover sensor.A range of models and packages
The 2018 INFINITI QX30 is offered in six models, starting with the standard QX30. It includes Intelligent Key, RearView Monitor, paddle shifters, Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System, Dual Zone Automatic Temperature Control with rear seat vents, INFINITI InTouch™ with 7.0-inch screen, HD Radio, SiriusXM® Satellite Radio (SiriusXM® subscription required, sold separately), fibretec seating, 8-way manually adjustable driver's seat with 4-way power lumbar support, LED signature daytime running lights and 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels with 235/50R18 all-season run-flat tires.
