The 2018.5 Infiniti QX30 benefits from standard automatic emergency braking. Despite the addition of the driving assistance feature, the base grade’s pricing will remain unchanged, reports CarsDirect, quoting dealer order guides, at US$ 30,945.

Upgrading from the Pure means choosing the Luxe model, which will be US$ 200 more expensive than before, at US$ 33,759. The extra cost is justified with the addition of the standard panoramic roof, but there is a downside, too: gone is the leather upholstery and in comes leatherette. And fans of the car firm already know that the larger Q50 has underwent a similar modification for the 2018 model year.


Moving up the range we find the Essential, from US$ 37,695, a US$ 1,400 increase. It adds standard satellite navigation system, which benefits from a built-in surround view monitor with moving object detection. For the 2018.5 Infiniti QX30 Sport, customers will have to pay at least US$ 40,895, or US$ 1,400 more than before.

The Sport isn’t the top-of-the-line version, as this is reserved to the Essential, the all-wheel drive edition of which starts from US$ 1,195. This grade can become US$ 1,450 more expensive with the addition of the City Black Package, with its 19-inch wheels, silver mirror caps, black leatherette with contrast stitching, and others.


Infiniti fans may have noticed that the trim levels wear different names, and we have to mention that the Base, Luxury and Premium are now called Pure, Luxe and Essential, whereas the Sport maintains its moniker.
