2017 Infiniti Q30 Video, First Look
Infiniti is joining the compact premium segment with its all-new Q30.
The Japanese automaker debuted the 2017 Infiniti Q30 at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show, staying true to the original concept that debuted in 2013. The compact hatchback is built on the Mercedes MFA platform that underpins the CLA-Class and GLA-Class models and will also be used for the upcoming QX30 crossover.
The Q30 will launch with three trim levels: base, Premium and Sport, with the base model equipped with a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 120 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque. The Premium and Sport models will have a 2.0-liter turbo-four engine with 208 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. For the U.S. market, Infiniti will only offer the more powerful 2.0-liter mill.
