Infiniti QX30 concept debuts at Geneva motor show

The QX30 will be powered by a 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine, with drive being sent to the rear wheel by a seven-speed automatic gearbox. The car will also use a Haldex-based four-wheel-drive system. The company claims that the engine in the car is one of the new powertrains to feature in upcoming Infiniti models over the next two years.

The five-door concept features 21-inch alloy wheels along with metal skid plates at the rear, aluminium-trimmed front bumper, carbonfibre cladding and roof bar supports.

The interior features a premium look with brown leather trim and blue accents, mood lighting and a large central infotainment screen.

Measuring 4430mm long by 1815mm wide, with a height of 1520mm, the QX30 concept is shorter, wider and lower than the X1, but narrower than the Q3. It’s also 30mm taller than the Q30 and offers 192mm of ground clearance. Both the QX30 and Q30 share a tweaked version of the Mercedes-Benz A/B-Class platform.

The QX30 will go on sale internationally in 2016 and will take on the likes of the BMW X1 and Audi Q3.
