Making its debut to the luxury brand’s lineup in 2017, the 2018 INFINITI QX30 is back and growing in the ranks. Thanks to its category-defying design, an approachable body frame, and what enthusiasts call a “ready-to-go-anywhere attitude,†this cool and collected CUV is the wagon you never knew you wanted — and its ready to take you by surprise.
Instantly recognizable on the roads, this isn’t your parents’ compact hatchback. Characterized by sharp lines, dramatic curves, and organic body shape, it possesses a fierce quality. A wave-like aluminum hood flows purposefully back from the front fascia — marked by the iconic double-arch grille. Meanwhile, broad shoulders help to define its athletic stance.
By balancing the sportiness of a coupe with the utility of an SUV, this QX30 delivers dynamic and responsive performance ideally suited to an urban environment. Equipped with a standard 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, it can easily produce up to 208 HP. To further impress, this hot hatch earns 21 MPG in the city and an impressive 30 MPG on the highway — making it an ideal commuter for travelers with active lifestyles.

We already know that the bold design of the 2018 INFINITI QX30 merits major curb appeal. This is a crossover with class and attitude, and it shows. However, the stunning aesthetics aren’t just limited to the exterior. Inside this sporty CUV, the upscale trimmings and expressive appointments continue.
The dynamic cockpit features a highly sculpted dash that utilizes driver-centric asymmetry to ensure ergonomic positioning — meaning everything that the operator needs to access is easily within their reach. From the paddle shifters and the steering wheel mounted audio controls to the twin overhead map lights, motorists barely need to lift a finger in order to raise the roof (or open the moonroof, for that matter).
Fitted with premium materials including Nappa leather seats, brushed aluminum accents, and a unique black suede-like element on the dash, the whole interior exudes modern luxury. Â
To further impress, the proprietary InTouch infotainment system delivers a fully connected cabin experience. Equipped with a 7-inch screen on the center console, the QX30 provides highly intuitive assistance. Through vocal cues and voice recognition, the Human Machine Interface is able to serve occupants with both audio adjustments and navigational directions. Â

The 2018 INFINITI QX30 is one of those enigmatic rides that somehow manages to pull off an ultra-sporty look (especially considering it’s technically a “station wagonâ€) while comfortably accommodating up to five passengers and performing gracefully on the open road. Where CUVs are concerned, the QX30 is the total package.
Styling-wise, this vehicle has character. A dramatic, swooping roofline culminates at the C-pillar with more angles to create the automaker’s iconic Z-shaped flair. Meanwhile, an aggressive front fascia features slanted headlights and the brand's signature double-arch grille.
Despite its approachable "Goldilocks" appearance—you know, not too big, not too small—the QX30 offers passengers 108 cu-ft of interior space to kick back, relax, and enjoy the drive. To further impress, 19.2 cu-ft is allotted for cargo.Â
According to The Car Connection, while this pint-sized crossover is a crowd-pleaser based on aesthetics alone, its zippy handling makes it a standout in its class. Equipped with a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine, it can produce up to 208 HP and 258 lb-ft of torque with ease. Paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, it has the get-up-and-go factor that makes it fun to drive.
