Infiniti has announced a series of updates for the
Q30 and QX30 in Europe for the 2018 model year. In the Q30, the entry-level model, previously dubbed
SE, will now be badged ‘Pure’. It comes equipped with features including
forward collision avoidance, automatic headlights, LED running lamps, Bluetooth
audio streaming, and a multi-function leather steering wheel.
Elsewhere, the Q30 range is also sold in Luxe and
Sport trims which respectively, also offer range-topping Luxe Tech and Sport
Tech variants. As the names imply, the Luxe models focus more on comfort while
the Sport models are designed to be slightly more dynamic.
Key components of the Luxe Tech and Sport Tech
models include Around View Monitor with Moving Object Detection and 12 parking
sensors. Q30 Sport and Sport Tech versions then receive sports bumpers and a 20
mm lower ride height.
As for the 2018 Infiniti QX30, it will only be sold
in Luxe and Luxe Tech grades. Modifications made for the 2018 model include
19-inch, five-spoke alloy wheels, among other minor tweaks. Prices in the UK
start at £ 20,600 (US$ 28,597) for the Q30 1.6 Sport. Orders for all new Q30 and
QX30 models are open and units will arrive in showrooms in March.
