Overview: 2019 INFINITI QX30
The 2019 INFINITI QX30 makes a bold visual statement and backs it up with premium interior appointments, responsive performance and an extensive suite of advanced safety, security and driver-assistance technologies.
In addition to its striking appearance, the QX30 offers confidence-inspiring handling and an available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system. As a result, the QX30 is ideal to take on urban, suburban and winding rural roads in a variety of driving conditions.
For the 2019 model year, the QX30 adds for the LUXE model an available Navigation Package featuring INFINITI InTouch™ with Navigation and INFINITI InTouch™ Services and an available 19-inch Wheel Package with 19-inch Gun Metallic aluminum-alloy wheels, 235/R4519 summer run-flat tires.
The QX30 holds a unique position in the segment, bridging the gap between premium compact rivals and larger crossover models. Its crossover-style versatility extends from unique design appeal and a wide range of comfort, convenience, safety and dynamic features, along with an elevated ride height and high-stability drivetrain designed to give drivers an added level of confidence.
The 2019 INFINITI QX30 is available in six trim levels: QX30 PURE, QX30 LUXE, QX30 ESSENTIAL, QX30 SPORT, QX30 LUXE AWD and QX30 ESSENTIAL AWD.
Stunningly original, undeniably INFINITI
The QX30 premium active crossover was created for a new generation of premium buyers seeking a vehicle as versatile as their lifestyles. Its mix of artistry in the flowing lines and power in the elevated stance makes a bold visual statement and challenges current preconceptions of what a crossover should look like. The combination of a low-slung roofline, high stance and crossover appearance creates a striking visual impact with a go-anywhere attitude, ready to take on a variety of driving conditions.
The QX30 exterior is characterized by dramatic curves and turbulent, sculpted character lines that make an emotional statement, evolving them into new dynamic shapes for a more purposeful appearance. The double-arch grille with three-dimensional mesh draws a flowing, fluid link to the headlights for a more organic shape. The lines of the QX30 flow up the double-wave aluminium hood, over the fenders, across the bodyline and into the strong shoulders of the car.
The overall effect is designed to look stretched over bone and muscle, rather than the straight mechanical lines seen on rival models. INFINITI's signature C-pillar design forges a dynamic crescent shape that emphasizes motion, even when stationary.
The elevated dimensions make for a confident and relaxing drive, while ascribing to the QX30's versatile character. The tall overall height helps improve forward visibility, aided by a slim A-pillar design, while the taller ride height allows for a higher hip point, improving ease of ingress and egress.
Standard exterior features include signature LED daytime running lights and auto on/off halogen headlights, with available LED headlights with Active Front lighting System and auto high/low beam function and LED fog lights. In addition to the standard auto-dimming (driver's side), power-folding and heated outside mirrors, a variety of treatments for the outside mirror housings (body-color, black, Satin Silver) are available to provide a more personalized appearance. A panoramic moonroof with power sunshade and roof rails are also offered.
The QX30 SPORT includes unique front and rear lower fascias, gloss black grille, body-color side sill panels, chrome trunk finisher, chrome exhaust finishers, a lower ride height, sport suspension tuning, cross-drilled front brake rotors, INFINITI-branded calipers and unique 19-inch Gun Metallic aluminium-alloy wheels.
The QX30 LUXE AWD and QX30 ESSENTIAL AWD include unique front and rear lower fascias, extended overfenders, unique black mold-in color side sills, roof rails, unique 18-inch machine finished aluminium-alloy wheels and a 1.2-inch higher ride height than QX30 FWD.
The 2019 QX30 is offered in a choice of eight available premium exterior colors: Black Obsidian, Blade Silver, Chestnut Bronze, Graphite Shadow, Ink Blue, Magnetic Red, Majestic White and Pearlescent Black.
Inside, living in asymmetry and comfort
The bold INFINITI design approach continues inside the stunning QX30, challenging traditional standards of symmetry with its expressive, modern and dynamic interior.
The asymmetric surfaces feature wave shapes and dynamic lines that twist apart and flow away from the driver. These give an in-motion feel when natural light moves over the highly sculpted lines and contrasting materials in the cabin.
Premium materials and processes were selected by INFINITI designers in order to create a modern-looking and luxurious cabin. The standard interior is finished in high quality black Fibretec, while Nappa leather-appointed seats are standard on QX30 ESSENTIAL – delivering an even more premium finish.
Comfort is also a core appeal of the QX30's interior and is guaranteed thanks to an advanced seat design, which makes use of INFINITI's advanced spinal support research and zero-gravity technology. The seat backs have been carefully engineered to match the curvature of the spine, providing consistent spinal support by more equally distributing load across the seat to minimise pressure on back muscles, while a wider fitting shape and soft seat cushion also provides enhanced support.
QX30 LUXE and ESSENTIAL grades feature 8-way power adjustable front seats with 4-way power-adjustable lumbar support. Heated front seats are standard on LUXE, ESSENTIAL and SPORT grades. The rear seat is a fold-flat, 60/40 split-folding design for added utility. A rear seat pass-through (ski hatch) is also available.
QX30 SPORT features sport front seats with integrated headrests. The seats utilized leatherette and graphite suede-like material, while the stitched door and instrument panel trim also feature a suede-like material. QX30 SPORT also features flat bottom steering wheel and aluminium-trimmed pedals.
The QX30's attention to interior quietness adds to cabin comfort. The extensive application of sound-absorbent materials reduces the intrusion of wind, road and unwanted engine noise into the cabin. Closed sections of the high-rigidity body structure protect the QX30 from any negative noise and vibration generated by broken or inconsistent road surfaces. The result is an incredibly quiet and refined platform, allowing INFINITI engineers to isolate and emphasize the more pleasant and enriching tones of the QX30 engines under acceleration, without disturbing the calm of the cabin.
As expected from any INFINITI vehicle, a full range of comfort and convenience features is available, including auto entry/exit system with three-driver memory for both driver and passenger.
Standard on all models are Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System, RearView Monitor, cruise control, power windows with front one-touch auto up/down with auto reverse, power door locks with selective unlocking, paddle shifters, auto-dimming inside rearview mirror, dual overhead map lights and rear dome light, INFINITI Intelligent Key, three 12-volt power outlets, two USB ports and Dual Zone Automatic Temperature Control with rear seat vents on the console.
Advanced audio, navigation and connectivity systems are also available, including a Bose® 10-speaker audio system and standard HD radio, SiriusXM® Satellite Radio (SiriusXM® subscription required, sold separately) and voice recognition for audio, Bluetooth® audio streaming and vehicle information. Also standard is SiriusXM® Travel Link with access to weather, fuel prices, stocks, sports and movie times (with four-year trial subscription).
INFINITI's InTouch™ infotainment system, first introduced on the INFINITI Q50, provides highly intuitive finger touch and swipe control through a 7.0-inch touch-screen HMI (human machine interface). INFINITI Voice Recognition interacts with the InTouch™ infotainment system to control audio and navigation commands.

Other available technology includes the advanced Around View® Monitor with Moving Object Detection and Intelligent Cruise Control.
A versatile attitude and drivetrain
The 2019 QX30's advanced powertrain delivers a confidence-inspiring, dynamic driving experience aided by available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive.
The standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged unit is rated at 208 horsepower at 5,500 rpm, with peak torque of 258 lb-ft available from 1,200 – 4,400 rpm. This engine has been engineered to blend responsive performance with enhanced fuel efficiency. It features a lightweight aluminum block and cylinder head with chain-driven, dual-overhead camshafts, die-cast aluminum cylinder crankcase and optimized crank assembly, resulting in further weight savings, reduced friction and improved efficiency. The QX30 also includes an idle stop-start system in combination with the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The engine was developed in conjunction with Daimler and is sourced from Kolleda, Germany.
All 2019 QX30 models feature a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The dual-clutch intelligently pre-selects gears so the next shift is always ready to go, while manual mode lets the driver control gear changes when desired. Delivering seamless acceleration at any speed and in any gear, the application of torque is almost uninterrupted during gear changes, reducing lurching while in motion and between shifts. Paddle shifters are standard.
The QX30's chassis was developed to offer a comfortable and confident ride for both two-wheel and all-wheel drive models. Development teams responsible for QX30's ride and handling worked hard to ensure the car's dynamic characteristics met buyers' expectations of a vehicle that has been engineered to bridge the gap between compacts and crossovers.
The front suspension is a MacPherson strut design with twin-tube shock absorbers, while the rear utilizes independent multi-link with rear monotube shocks. Stabilizer bars are used in both the front and rear.
Steering is provided by an Electric Power Assisted system and braking is a power-assisted 4-wheel disc design with Anti-lock Braking System. QX30 SPORT uses cross-drilled front rotors and INFINITI-branded calipers.
The QX30 LUXE AWD and QX30 ESSENTIAL AWD models come equipped with INFINITI's Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system. The drivetrain is able to send up to 50 percent of the engine's power and torque to the rear axle to maintain traction on slippery surfaces and in inclement weather, enhancing a feeling of control and confidence when driving. For example, if wheel slip is detected by sensors, braking is applied to the slipping wheel, while torque is sent to the gripping wheel for additional stability.
Intuitive technologies enhance an engaging, safe driving experience
The 2019 QX30 offers a range of active safety and hazard avoidance technologies that enhance the driving experience.
The QX30 SPORT features the Intelligent Park Assist system, which uses 12 sensors to determine if a potential parking spot is the right size. If it is, the driver simply presses a button to confirm and operate the accelerator, shifter and brake pedal. The QX30 will park itself smoothly in parallel or reverse-in parking spots1. Intelligent Park Assist is also available on ESSENTIAL models with the ProASSIST Package.
The 2019 QX30 includes Forward Emergency Braking as standard on all trims and includes other available QX30 safety, security and driver's assistance features such as Blind Spot Warning and Lane Departure Warning.
The QX30 also includes as standard on all trims dual-stage front supplemental air bags, front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air bags, front knee supplemental air bags and roof-mounted curtain side-impact supplemental air bags with rollover sensor.

1. Intelligent Park Assist is a parking aid and is not a substitute for your full attention of your immediate surroundings. The driver is always responsible for safe maneuvering into and out of a parking space. The driver must always ensure that there are no people, animals, or objects in the area in which you are maneuvering and parking.
