Infiniti Reveals the All-New Q30 at the 2015 Frankfurt Auto Show

Infiniti Q30

Here at Sawgrass Infiniti, we’ve been waiting along with the rest of the world for the unveiling of the newest Infiniti, the Q30 active compact. Well, the long wait has finally ended with the introduction of the all-new Q30 at this year’s Frankfurt Auto Show in Germany. Although Infiniti has been teasing us with glimpses and specs of this brand new luxury compact, the thrill at finally seeing it was everything we could have hoped for. As the first real luxury compact from Infiniti since the G20 (but we won’t really count that one), the Infiniti Q30 is truly an impressive package.

The new Q30 combines the unique styling cues and powerful performance of the larger Infiniti models, while sacrificing none of the luxury that we expect from an Infiniti. Still, this is a truly unique vehicle that defies easy classification. It has the profile of a hatchback or crossover, but maintains a lower roofline like a sedan. Part of the reason for this unique appearance is the fact that the Q30 isn’t based on any existing Nissan or Infiniti platform. This new luxury compact is the debut of the collaboration between
Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz, and actually shares a platform with the Mercedes A-Class sedan.

The Infiniti Q30 Up Close

By now you’ve probably seen the images of the Q30, from its sweeping curves to its aggressive stance and its chiseled body contours – all of which are pure Infiniti styling. But underneath the incredible good looks is a powerful and dynamic machine that is built for performance. The Mercedes-designed 2.0-liter engine will produce 208 horsepower at a minimum, and deliver 258 pound-feet of torque. It will come with either a 6-speed manual transmission, or a 7-speed automatic. Its suspension will consist of front struts and a rear multi-link suspension, similar to the A-Class, but that are specially tuned by Infiniti to deliver crisp and precise handling.

The Infiniti Q30 Features

The idea of an ‘active compact’ luxury vehicle from Infiniti is based on the company’s clearly defined goal of attracting a younger demographic. In designing a dynamic luxury car that’s priced in the same category as many non-luxury brands, Infiniti has already scored a big victory. The luxurious interior features of the Q30 are unexpected in such a so-called entry offering, but are nevertheless appreciated. The attention to detail and the high quality materials used in the cabin are top-tier. The amenities, technology offerings and luxury features provide an experience that would be more expected in the Q70 than in this compact offering.

Here at Sawgrass Infiniti we’re still very excited to see the new 2016 Infiniti Q30 here in our showroom. If you’re interested in being one of the first to see and drive this amazing new luxury compact, drop us a line or call in to let us know. We’ll make sure our loyal customers are the first ones to experience this exciting vehicle.
