2018 Infiniti QX30 in Rocky Mount, NC - $0

Infiniti has introduced the all-new 2017 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.

The new QX30 holds a unique position in the segment, bridging the gap between premium compact rivals and larger crossover models. Its crossover-style versatility extends from unique design appeal and a wide range of comfort, convenience, safety and dynamic features – along with an elevated ride height and high-stability drivetrain designed to give drivers an added level of confidence.

The QX30 is available in four trim levels: QX30, Luxury, Sport, and Premium. 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 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.

Power for the Infiniti crossover is generated by an advanced 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Torque is communicated through a seven-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 Luxury AWD and QX30 Premium AWD models come equipped with an Infiniti's Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system.

The QX30's chassis was developed to offer a comfortable ride and confident or 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 with buyers' expectations of a vehicle that has been engineered to bridge the gap between compacts and crossovers.

Control hardware features a MacPherson strut design with twin-tube shock absorbers up front, while the rear utilizes independent multi-link with rear monotube shocks. Stabilizer bars are used front and rear.

Inside the passenger cabin the bold Infiniti design approach continues inside, challenging traditional standards of symmetry with its expressive, modern and dynamic interior. The asymmetric surfaces feature wave shapes and dynamic lines that twist apart and flow away from the driver. These give an "in-motion" feel when natural light moves over the highly sculpted lines and contrasting materials in the cabin. Premium materials and processes were selected by the Infiniti designers in order to create a modern-looking and luxurious cabin. The standard interior is finished in high quality black Fibretec, while optional black or beige Nappa leather appointments (standard on QX30 Luxury) deliver an even more premium finish.

Refinement and comfort is also a core appeal of the QX30's interior. Comfort is guaranteed thanks to an advanced seat design, which makes use of Infiniti's advanced "spinal support" research and "Zero Gravity" technology. The seat backs have been carefully engineered to match the curvature of the spine, providing consistent spinal support by more equally distributing load across the seat to minimise pressure on back muscles – while a wider fitting shape and soft seat cushion also provides enhanced support.

The QX30's attention to interior quietness adds to cabin comfort. The extensive application of sound-absorbent materials reduces the intrusion of wind, road and unwanted engine noise into the cabin. Closed sections of the high-rigidity body structure protect the QX30 from any negative noise and vibration generated by broken or inconsistent road surfaces. The result is an incredibly quiet and refined platform, allowing Infiniti engineers to isolate and emphasise the more pleasant and enriching tones of the QX30's engines under acceleration, without disturbing the calm of the cabin.
